‘Jrue Holiday has never been better than me’<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"Ex-NBA<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Brandon Jennings instigated a short-lived back-and-forth with Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum back in January. This time, the former NBA guard is targeting two-time champion Jrue Holiday instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cJrue Holiday\u2019s never been better than me,\u201d Jennings said during a live stream with Gilbert Arenas. \u201cJrue Holiday has never been better than me. He has a better career. They have better careers than me. Are you (expletive) crazy? They ended up becoming better but you\u2019re not better than me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennings, better known for his high school career as one of California\u2019s most hyped point guards, lasted nine NBA seasons before retiring in 2018. Unlike Holiday, Jennings never made an All-Star Game, never made an All-Defensive First or Second Team \u2014 Holiday did so three times each \u2014 and Jennings never won a title. His biggest claim to fame as a former professional was scoring 55 points in his rookie season for a 46-36 Milwaukee Bucks team that got bounced in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Still, Jennings is adamant that fellow 2009 draft class member Holiday \u2014 along with Jeff Teague, Ty Lawson, Danny Green and Ricky Rubio \u2014 aren\u2019t better than him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThird year, (Holiday) made (the All-Star Game) over me because he had Doug Collins as his coach, and Doug Collins was (expletive),\u201d Jennings said during a follow-up stream. \u201c\u2026 Doug Collins was over here sending everybody fruit baskets, vote for Jrue Holiday. The (expletive). That sounds like a (expletive).\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennings continued: \u201cI\u2019m a franchise guy. People in Milwaukee came to watch me play. They had my jerseys, bobbleheads. They have none of that (expletive) for none of y\u2019all that\u2019s talking they was better than me. \u2026 Bro, I had a signature shoe. I had a signature shoe, dog. I wasn\u2019t an All-Star player but I had a signature shoe. Let\u2019s stop this (expletive).\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Milwaukee selected Jennings with the 10th overall pick. He claims when he criticized Rubio for not attending pre-draft workouts with others from the \u201909 draft, it unfairly impacted his stock value. It\u2019s an interesting theory \u2014 nothing more, nothing less. Jennings skipped the collegiate level, meanwhile, Rubio debuted in the Spanish ACB League at 14 years old, the youngest player ever to do so.<\/p>\n

Jennings intentionally neglects context to strengthen his argument points, easily debunkable with a basic Google search.<\/p>\n

Teague, another retired member of the \u201909 class, understood where Jennings was coming from, from a competitive standpoint. But logically, Teague couldn\u2019t see eye-to-eye with Jennings, particularly with Holiday dragged into the conversation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrandon was cold, but Jrue Holiday can guard him,\u201d Teague said on the \u201cClub 520 Podcast.\u201d \u201cHe can\u2019t guard Jrue Holiday. He\u2019s too little. He\u2019s too little.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teague spent his final season, first with the Celtics \u2014 in 2020-21 \u2014 and then with the Bucks, playing alongside Holiday during their championship run. The 2015 All-Star was caught off guard hearing his name brought up and continued to offer Jennings a greater dose of honesty regarding his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he said my name. I was like, \u2018Damn.’\u201d Teague said. \u201cYou should kill. You didn\u2019t play with no killers. \u2026 You ain\u2019t ever played with no killers. You didn\u2019t have to pass the ball to Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford. And then when you got Josh Smith and them, y\u2019all was ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
