Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, during his introduction welcoming Jrue Holiday, read his accomplishments and career accolades. Multi-time All-Star, Olympic Gold Medalist, his All-Defensive prowess and Teammate of the Year awards, they all stacked up. One was fitting for the setting amongst them all.
"Right when I got traded, Joe was the first person sending me clips on what to do on pick-and-roll defense, how to run the offense and stuff like that," Holiday said. "I feel like coming here is definitely my best chance of winning and being able to help the guys here that have made big moves, and done great things in this league," he said."I'm here to really just help step up their game and become a champion."
Like Celtics' legend Paul Pierce and current face of the franchise Jayson Tatum, the 33-year-old is defecting after growing up rooting for the other side of the NBA's marquee rivalry. "Even when I was in Philly, I went game 7 with Boston," Holiday recalled his 2012 Semifinals' thriller with the team."Rondo hit two threes to go to the Conference championship."
Holiday has had quite the memory of TD Garden and the passionate Celtics fans throughout his career as well.
