From left to right: Jrue Holiday, Aaron Holiday, and Justin Holiday

Jrue Holiday has established himself as one of the best two-way guards in the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks star is brothers with both Justin Holiday and Aaron Holiday. During the 2018-2019 season, the Holiday brothers made NBA history as they became the first trio of brothers to share the court in an NBA game.

Jrue was the first to enter the NBA, despite being a year younger than Justin, as the Philadelphia 76ers made him the 17th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. While Justin went undrafted in the 2011 NBA Draft, he made his NBA debut with the 76ers during the 2012-2013 season. He was teammates with his younger brother during his brief stint in Philadelphia.

Aaron, who is several years younger than both Jrue and Justin, was selected 23rd overall in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers. Justin would sign with the Pacers the following offseason.

The two brothers spent two seasons together as teammates in Indiana. They are once again teammates as both joined the Atlanta Hawks on the same day in the 2022 offseason.
