The Boston Celtics are defying expectations by dominating the Eastern Conference, and veteran guard Jrue Holiday isn't surprised. The 35-year-old Holiday has a deep understanding of the team's capabilities, having played alongside star Jaylen Brown for two seasons.
Holiday knows that Brown takes his game very personally, particularly when it comes to being counted out as a team. The Celtics' coaching staff and organization have instilled in Brown a culture of determination and resilience, which has allowed him to thrive despite Tatum's injury.
Brown is having a career-high season, averaging 29.8 points per game, and the rest of the team has rallied around him. Holiday sees this as a testament to the Celtics' growth and cohesion, which he attributes to their ability to adapt and prove people wrong.
While Holiday may not have flashy stats in Boston, his impact was evident in his calm presence in the backcourt and defensive prowess. His acceptance of a different role and willingness to do what it takes to win has been a hallmark of his time with the team.
Holiday's return to TD Garden for a game against the Trail Blazers sparked an emotional response from the crowd, who honored him with a video tribute. It's clear that Holiday's influence will be felt in Boston for years to come, and his endorsement of the Celtics' underdog story is music to fans' ears.
