Let’s travel back to the 2017-2018 season. The New Orleans Pelicans are rolling right into the postseason as the sixth seed. They sweep the Portland Trailblazers thanks in large part to their “Batman and Robin,” Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday before bowing out to the Warriors in five games in Round 2.
Fast forward to the present: Batman wants out, and it is time for Robin to become Nightwing. Since AD’s trade request, Jrue Holiday has fit into that “hero role” seamlessly.
Holiday has been great since January 29th, but his impact goes far beyond the floor.
