Jrue Holiday, a guard with the New Orleans Pelicans, has seen his fair share of action against the Boston Celtics in front of the boisterous crowd at TD Garden. However, after being traded to the C’s on Sunday, the fans of the Boston franchise will now be on his side.
According to a report by an in-house journalist for the Celtics named Taylor Snow, at Holiday’s official introduction on Wednesday, Holiday talked extremely highly of the devoted fans of his new team.
They have a touch of insanity. They behave in a disorderly manner. They are in your face the entire time. Holiday remarked that the player was “undeniably one of the best sixth men in the league, if not the best.” “I adore how aggressive it is. I have a deep appreciation for nature… The fans are just bonkers, and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of that community as we head into this year.
The two-time All-Star played his most recent season for the Milwaukee Bucks, a team from the Eastern Conference that competes against the Celtics and has become something of a rival of Boston’s. And when Holiday was just getting started in the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers, another team from the Eastern Conference that has a grudge against the Celtics, selected him in the draught.
In addition to this, Holiday spent his formative years in the Greater Los Angeles Area, attended the University of California, Los Angeles, and comes from a family of Lakers supporters. The 33-year-old player seemed content to be a member of the Celtics, despite the fact that he has connections to some of Boston’s most dangerous adversaries. According to a reporter for the CelticsBlog, Jack Simone, he even mentioned Boston as a possible destination for a trade after being sent there in exchange for Damian Lillard, who has appeared in seven All-Star games.
