Jrue Holiday was one of the key pieces behind the Boston Celtics’ record-breaking 18th NBA title. Holiday is now a fan favorite and, apparently, a coaching model as well. His unselfish play and leadership on the court have caught the attention of coaches around the league, including former Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer.

Reports recently surfaced that Budenholzer wanted Suns guard Bradley Beal to play more like Holiday. However, Beal wasn’t happy with that direction, which added to the tension within the Suns’ locker room. Now, with Budenholzer no longer coaching the team, Holiday’s name is back in the spotlight.

On Tuesday, Holiday addressed the situation and admitted he was caught off guard. Though Holiday understands the comparison might have come from a good place, he’s not thrilled about being brought into a situation that had nothing to do with him.

“I guess I have nothing to say because this is the first time I’m hearing about it. I also don’t know what he meant by saying that. But we are different players. Brad is an elite scorer, and he’s had somewhat of an off year. So I feel like things are different,” Holiday said.

“I just don’t know why people gotta bring me into it. Let me just do me, go out here and try to win as many rings as I can,” he added.

Before the result of the play-in game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Orlando Magic was known, Holiday was asked whether he planned to tune in and watch the game that would determine who the Celtics would face in the first round. Holiday shared a refreshingly honest answer, which proves family still comes first for Holiday.

“It depends on what my kids want to do,” Holiday said.

In the end, the Magic came out on top with a 120-95 victory over the Hawks. With that win, Orlando secured the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and will now face the defending champions in the opening round of the playoffs.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

 

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

 

 

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
