Earlier this week, what had been rumored to be in the works for months had finally become official: Jrue Holiday had been traded away from the New Orleans Pelicans. The seven seasons he suited up for will not ultimately be remembered for much team success, but that is not to say that there aren’t memories worth celebrating.
Every day is worthy of celebration when your family bears a name as festive as his, but calendars are marked each year with days that add even more meaning to the mix. Seven calendars worth of holidays were flipped through during Jrue’s New Orleans tenure, and by my wildly unofficial count, he suited up for 33 games that overlapped with some other cultural significance.
