[OnlyOneLoso]

That's a real man/father/husband, sending positive energy to the family and yourself Jrue.💙

Who’s watching in 2021? Jrue deserves a ring. A true man, father and one of the best 2 way players in the league!

[badii]

And now he signed a 4 year, 160 million dollar contract. Definitely deserved, this mans a legend ✊

[sportsandexercises]

Came back after he won the championship. God is good.

[shawndasent]

This should put things in perspective for fans when they want to insult athletes. Life is much bigger than sport!!!!

[madikayla]

They didn’t show just how good Lauren was at soccer. She was phenomenal and will easily be put into the hall of fame. OG new kids!

[brandonmiller]

their kid is going to be scary athletic.

[garlandgranger]

This man deserves a standing ovation for truly understanding his priorities in his life. He is an awesome husband and an great example of how a man should act in this situation. He is selfless.

I remember Jrue took a season off to be with his wife through the surgery and rehab a few years ago. I’m glad his wife safely delivered the baby girl and was healed after the surgery. Huge fan of the Holiday family!

[notlmgyt]

Jrue deserves all the respect he gets for being a loving father.

[teezy]

Glad NO stuck with him through it and gave him the extension when he came back even though his health hadn't been consistent at all. Jrue has been my favorite 2 way player for the last like 6yrs.

Jrue for his wife
Giannis for his father

These Bucks players have a different engine than the Suns.

I didn't know much about Jrue Holiday. I am just now watching this after his awesome performance in game 5 of the Finals.

All I can say is that he is a great person, which is a much better compliment than saying he is a great player.

[judlinewren]

“Everything that I have is because of her” wow. What a man. What a story.

[timothybrown]

I'm glad she recovered. They seem to be a great family, I wish them well.

[awillproductions]

When “life” hits you, it makes you realize real quick what’s most important in life. Shout out to Jrue and Lauren for making sacrifices for the good of their family and for sticking together through tough times. Beautiful couple with an inspiring story. ESPN we need more stories like this.

[williamsims]

I felt Jrue when he said everything he had was because of her. Simple people may look at their different races but you stay with and listen to the person who's steering you down the right path. Whoever wants the best for you and pushes you and keeps you out of trouble, is the person you need to hang on to, no matter what race they are.

Jrue steal the ball Giannis running at the break, jrue saw Giannis throw the ball slamdunk and 1

[vaughngray]

People need to give jrue more credit not only as a player but as a man it takes a strong man to keep his head up in times like that but he knew he had to for his babygirl much respect to jrue and prayers for a healthy life for his family
