Jrue Holiday is a six-foot-four guard who plays for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Milwaukee Bucks</a> in the NBA. The sport runs deep in his family as his parents Shawn and Toya Holiday both played professional basketball for Arizona State. 

Holiday was born on June 12, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, and has two brothers who are also NBA stars. Jrue went down as the 17th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft and both his siblings Justin and Aaron came into the league, following his footsteps.

Being born in Los Angeles, Holiday attended Campbell Hall High- School in the city, where he emerged as one of the finest point guards in the country. He was named Gatorade Player of the Year and took part in the McDonald’s All-American Game in his senior year. 

Being a five-star recruit, Holiday then committed to play for UCLA where he was awarded starting privileges as a freshman. He <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/jrue-holiday-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">averaged</a> 8.5 points and 3.8 assists as a freshman and jumped into the NBA after completing his initial year. 

It was at UCLA where Holiday met the love of his life. He met his future wife Lauren Holiday during a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/college-basketball/ucla-bruins/" rel="noopener noreferrer">UCLA</a> women’s game, and the pair hit it off instantly. They began dating in 2008 and tied the knot five years later. 

As for his virtual self, Jrue Holiday is an extremely talented character in the latest NBA 2K game. The creators have awarded him a rating of <a href="https://www.2kratings.com/jrue-holiday" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">83 overall,</a> and he will suit up for the Milwaukee Bucks from the 2021 season.

His two-way skills shone brightly in Philly, where Holiday played for four years. 

He averaged 13.4 points in his stint with the Sixers and earned his first All-Star selection in his final year with the team. Holiday was then traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Orleans Pelicans,</a> where he missed a part of his debut season due to a stress fracture in his right tibia.
