During the 2020-2021 season, Jrue Holiday reached a significant milestone by winning his first NBA Championship with the Milwaukee Bucks. On September 27, 2023, Holiday joined the Boston Celtics after a successful three-season tenure with the Bucks. Although he has moved to a new team, he still deeply appreciates his previous organization and the connections he built with his former teammates.
Holiday recently faced off against his former teammates in a Celtics vs. Bucks game at TD Garden. Before the intense matchup began, the Celtics guard made a playful joke about his former teammate, Brook Lopez. Holiday expressed his affection for his old teammates, including Lopez, while also acknowledging his competitive desire to defeat them.
“I love him, it’s great seeing him. But every time I play him, and probably even more so because they like my brothers, I want to whoop their a** every time. And they know that too. They feel the same way about me.” Holiday said.

We just have him do a little bit of everything, and he’s a big part of why we are who we are and why we’re a special team.” Tatum said.
