Bobby Portis, a veteran player for the Milwaukee Bucks, recently opened up about his close bond with former teammate Jrue Holiday, who now plays for the Boston Celtics. Despite their upcoming matchup on Thursday, where they will be on opposing teams, Portis expressed unwavering admiration for Holiday.
Having played alongside Holiday for three years with the Bucks, Portis emphasized the deep connection they share. Holiday’s departure during the summer trade involving Damian Lillard did not alter Portis’s sentiments. He described Holiday as a brother and praised the sacrifices he made both on the basketball court and for the city.
Portis aspires to emulate Holiday, applauding him as a great family man and an overall exceptional individual. Acknowledging Holiday’s contributions as an NBA champion, Portis highlighted his admiration for the qualities that make Holiday stand out for all the right reasons.
Beyond the realm of basketball, Portis emphasized the enduring nature of their friendship, referring to Holiday as his “brother for life.” Portis expressed gratitude for the advice and companionship he receives from Holiday off the court, emphasizing their strong and lasting connection.
Despite their camaraderie, Portis acknowledged that once the game begins, their friendship will be temporarily set aside. He humorously noted the unusual sight of seeing Holiday in a different team jersey but emphasized the competitive spirit that takes over once the game starts, emphasizing the focus on securing a victory for his team. Portis reassured fans that, despite the friendly ties, the competitive nature of the game will take precedence when the ball is in play.
