Before the Boston Celtics finally broke through to win Banner 18, the only member of the Celtics roster who knew what it took to win a title firsthand was veteran Boston guard Jrue Holiday. And the struggles that the Celtics had gone through in trying to win it all before Holiday’s arrival weighed on star Boston forward Jayson Tatum enough that the UCLA alum noticed.
“You could see and hear and feel all the pressure he has on him,” said Holiday in a recent interview with the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach as Boston’s players on Team USA practice for the Paris Olympics. “But to be able to relax and know he completed the ultimate goal was something I was super happy for.”
“To experience that, to go through the ups and downs and struggles of a season with a teammate and experience it that way, and then to be able to experience this next month or so, it’s just about doing it with the people you love,” he added.

“And obviously Jayson and everything we went through, I loved to see him win the championship,” said Holiday. “But now I’d also love to see him win another gold medal.”
