The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the basketball world with their recent acquisition of Damian Lillard. However, this significant move came at a price, as the Bucks had to part ways with one of their beloved stars, Jrue Holiday. The news left Giannis Antetokounmpo with mixed emotions.
“Jrue is my f–king brother for life. I love his family. I love him. I appreciate him. I wish him nothing but the best,” Antetokounmpo expressed during an emotional interview with Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report. “He blessed me with a f–king championship.”
Holiday played a pivotal role in the Bucks’ 2021 NBA championship run, delivering a clutch steal during Game 5 of the Finals that ultimately helped secure the title.
Antetokounmpo’s admiration for Holiday transcends the basketball court, emphasizing the deep bond they’ve formed as teammates and friends.
“He’s the one who made that huge steal in Game 5 of the Finals. I went to battle with him multiple times,” Giannis continued. “F–k basketball. F–k the media shit. This guy is my brother for life, and it’s always going to be like that. He’s going to thrive wherever he ends up.”
As the Bucks embark on a new era with Lillard, they bid farewell to a player who will forever hold a special place in their championship legacy.
