Jrue Holiday Stated “If I could say something before we jump in. I want to address the comment that was made yesterday. I feel like people kind of took that out of context. I’ve been hearing that I prefer JB over JT, and that’s not what that was. I like to praise my teammates when they’re playing well, and I feel like that’s what I did my best to do.
“When I got here, JT was the first person to text me. I already know that — and both of them know how I feel about them, how I feel about them as players. But to compare them is something that I would never do because they’re two completely different players as well as being on the same team, and the things that they have done in this organization and the things that they have done against me as an opponent.”
“I say, like, how they play together and how they work together is something that is sacred and something that can’t be broken. So just to address the comment yesterday, I do not prefer one or the other. I prefer both. Both of them are superstars, and it’s being shown out here on the biggest stage in the world.”
This captures the essence of Jrue Holiday’s desire to quell speculation about his preference between star Celtics teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. While both Tatum and Brown have long established themselves as superstar talents on Boston’s roster, it was Jrue Holiday who led the way in Game 2.
