It hasn’t even been a full calendar year since the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Jrue Holiday from the New Orleans Pelicans for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and every draft pick imaginable. The Bucks also received Sam Merrill in that trade as well. But what an eventful nine months it has been for the guard and the team.
In that timeframe, Holiday signed his massive contract extension, made First Team All-Defense, won an NBA championship, and capped it off with an Olympic gold medal just over a month later.
