In an insightful interview, Jrue Holiday of the Boston Celtics discusses his competitive nature and defensive philosophy. He articulates his disdain for being scored on, viewing each defensive possession as crucial. Holiday believes that getting multiple stops can demoralize opponents and shift the game's momentum. His upbringing in a competitive family of athletes has shaped his approach to basketball, where he finds joy in the challenge of outplaying others and taking their heart in the game.
The more I talk, a palpable intensity emerges. I don't like getting scored on. It's that simple. Competitive nature, to me, is winning every possession.
When you get multiple stops against somebody? It can kind of take them out of the game. It can take their heart away. It can completely change the landscape of the game.
