The Boston Celtics have widely been regarded as one of the best teams in the NBA over the past several seasons.
Boston entered last season with hopes of winning their second straight title after hoisting the championship trophy one season prior.
The Celtics were named champions of the NBA during the 2023-24 season, led by one of the best rosters the league has seen in years.
One of the many stars that Boston had rostered was Jrue Holiday. The two-way star helped lead the Celtics to Banner 18 before being traded from the team in 2025.
After the Celtics dealt Holiday in the 2025 offseason, they posted a photo of the NBA guard with the championship trophy, sharing a strong note on their title.
"We don't win Banner 18 without Jrue," posted the official social media account of the Boston Celtics.
Holiday was recently traded from the Boston Celtics after two seasons with the team. Holiday was sent to the Portland Trail Blazers in a deal that sent Anfernee Simons to the Celtics.
Last season with the Celtics, Holiday posted 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
In his first season with the team, Holiday averaged 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.
Holiday will now turn the page to the Portland Trail Blazers, an organization that's struggled to find any sort of success since trading Damian Lillard.
The 2025-26 season will mark Holiday's 17th season in the NBA. Before playing for the Trail Blazers and Boston Celtics, Holiday also spent time with the Milwaukee Bucks, New Orleans Pelicans and Philadelphia 76ers.
