In 2023, Jrue Holiday exists in an odd space in the NBA. He is routinely lauded by his peers as one of the best defenders in the league and he was the key addition to a roster that put the Milwaukee Bucks over the top and brought the city its first NBA title in 50 years at the conclusion of the 2020–2021 season. But he is not a superstar, and 14 seasons into his career, many people might not even call him a star.
This could be because Holiday appears publicly to have a low-key personality and a rather dry sense of humor.
