The Boston Celtics received a special message from Jrue Holiday after winning the championship. The team’s success was due to smart roster moves made by Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens. One of the most impactful moves was trading for Holiday, who brought championship experience, scoring prowess, and excellent perimeter defense to the team.
Holiday’s presence was felt throughout the playoffs, particularly in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, where he made crucial plays to help secure the championship win. His performance made history as he became the first player to win a championship in his first season with two different teams.
During a visit to NBC Sports Boston’s Celtics Pregame Live, Stevens and Holiday had a conversation where Holiday expressed his gratitude for being a part of the championship team. He thanked Stevens for bringing him to the Celtics and being a part of the incredible journey.
The team now faces the challenge of defending their title, a feat that has not been accomplished since the Golden State Warriors in 2018. However, they will have Holiday on their roster for the upcoming season after he signed a four-year contract extension in April. With his championship experience and skill set, Holiday will be a key asset as the team looks to repeat their success in the future.
