Jrue Holiday’s Season of Change Being traded is a rattling experience. But this summer’s blockbuster paled in comparison to a previous newsbreak in Holiday’s life. β€œI think it helped prepare me for [the trade],” he says.

Also like to bring attention to the incredible feature @mirinfader.bsky.social did about Jrue Holiday: www.theringer.com/2024/04/03/n...

Finally got around to finishing this, a treat for any basketball fan- love the work that @mirinfader.bsky.social put in to research the early days in Lagos/Houston - exploring the long-repeated myths & legends in a new and interesting way.

Kenny Atkinson has long been my fav coach in the NBA. He seems incredible at team building and creating the right energy for NBA players to maximize their ceilings.

Brooklyn dropping him and Jarrett Allen were major moments when I quit caring about the Nets’ potential to mean anything in BK.
