Message: [QUOTE="Mazhude, post: 5007182, member: 2960"] Jrue and his wife got a great write-up in the Athletic: [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5499499/2024/05/21/jrue-holiday-boston-celtics-lauren-us-soccer/']How Jrue Holiday found his voice as a leader with help from his soccer star wife[/URL] Seems very well liked with every team he's played on. "When you trade for Holiday, you trade for Lauren too. He and Lauren welcomed teammates into their family, hosting dinners and doing community service. They sought to intertwine their lives away from the game. “It’s almost synonymous. I don’t think of Jrue without thinking of Lauren,” former Bucks assistant coach Chad Forcier said. “Just two of my favorite people I’ve ever encountered, like, as humans. Whoever encounters Jrue and Lauren, you just come away feeling better about life, about humanity.” What Holiday brought to Milwaukee was a sense of community. He helped build chemistry with his teammates. “I don’t just look at him as a basketball player, man, he was a true friend of mine,” [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nba/player/khris-middleton-16EsAhBpQ9MB2dEC/']Khris Middleton[/URL] said. “Off the court, he was able to make everybody around here comfortable by being able to talk to him, being able to hang out, being able to throw anything on him.” [/QUOTE]
