Jrue Holiday Appreciation Thread

Love ya Jrue.

He will be back on Sunday, November 28, 2:30.

But he'll likely be flipped before then.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Jrue is one of my favorite players in the NBA and one of my favorite Bucks of all time. We don't win a championship without him. He was never afraid to take on the toughest defensive matchups. Even as he wasn't always successful (see 2023 First Round), his defense was often suffocating and really fun to watch. No one could ever question his toughness, his heart, or his fortitude.

The trade for him will go down as a seminal moment in the history of this franchise, and his trade away may also go down as another seminal moment in the history of his franchise. In any case, I wish him nothing but the best in the future and I hope he ends up in a winning situation to wrap up his career.

We do not win a championship without this man. One of the best human beings to ever play for us and a badass player as well. Bucks legend.

Legendary defensive performance during our championship, especially in the Finals. Sucks that we couldn’t get a Jrue-Dame backcourt.
still learning the game

Love ya Jrue!

The steal on Booker and lob to Giannis are individually possibly two of the top 10 plays in Bucks history, the fact that they happened back-to-back makes it without a doubt the most memorable back-to-back plays in Bucks history

I am legit sad about Jrue. Amazing player, we would not have a title without him, by all accounts the best teammate you could ever hope for, did great things for the community and genuinely wanted to be here. I wish he got to end his Bucks tenure on a better note.

One of the classiest guys to ever don a Bucks jersey, he'll always be a champion and a Milwaukee Buck.

Love Jrue. Ultimate teammate and one of the actual athlete role models.

Absolutely need a statue outside of Fiserv of the valley oop. Probably my favorite play i've ever seen in my life.

I'll be simultaneously watching Dame highlights while also binging all of Jrue's best games. Forever a Bucks legend.

Absolutely love Jrue, and it’s really damn hard to see him go.

One of the bucks all-time greats.
