The veteran guard Jrue Holiday of the Boston Celtics came up big in Sunday’s 105-98 NBA Finals victory over the Dallas Mavericks. He then modestly evaluated his position with the Celtics, drawing comparisons to superstars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Holiday was the Celtics’ highest scorer, but everyone is talking about whether Jayson Tatum or Jayce Brown is the best player on the team. The 33-year-old had a monster performance, finishing with 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and a pair of 3-pointers. His shooting percentage was 78.6 percent. In the meanwhile, four different Boston players scored 18 points or more, while Tatum and Brown tallied 39 points between them.

Holiday, a two-time All-Star, discussed his satisfaction with playing a supporting role in his rookie season with the superstar combination during his postgame interview.The utility industry is my specialty. I’ll take care of it,” Holiday declared. It is my intention to triumph.

Noting that Tatum and Brown have somewhat tougher duties as the leaders of the Celtics, the former NBA champion also made reference to the team’s hierarchy.

“However, in the grand scheme of things, this is their squad,” observed Holiday. “And I know it’s probably just as much my team as theirs, but again, … the pressure that they have on themselves to execute and to be great is a little bit different than my pressure.”Holiday elaborated by saying that they had handled the duty with grace.

“And again, I’ve always been honest about that, and how they always handle themselves has been something that’s been so honorable,” remarked the actress. So, it’s not entirely the same. They’re amazing, and I’m rooting for them.Grow Your TweetWhen the Milwаukee Bucks were cоmpeting fоr the title in 2021, Hоlidаy wаs а third-string оffensive threаt аlоngside superstаrs Khris Middletоn аnd Giаnnis аntetоkоunmpо.
