The 5 Best Brother Combos Playing in the NBA Right Now

3. Justin and Jrue Holiday

The arrival of Aaron promises to write new chapters to the rich history already forged by Justin and Jrue Holiday in the NBA.

The Holiday brothers are different from the other brother pairs considered till now in that they are not twins. However, much like the other pairings on this list, one of the Holiday brothers has had extended tenures with their respective franchise while the other is a journeyman.

Jrue, the younger Holiday, played four seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers before going on to play for the New Orleans Pelicans. While with the Sixers, Jrue made the All-Star team in 2013. Moreover, with the passage of time, he has evolved his game and was selected to the All- NBA Defensive First Team in 2018. Jrue is a vital cog in the New Orleans outfit and is central to their offensive endeavors. As starting point guard, Jrue exploded in the first round of the 2018 playoffs- helping the Pels to sweep the 3rd Seeded Blazers in the first round- a results not one pundit in the league predicted to go their way. With improvements in the Defensive end and a much improved three point shot (1.5 three pointers made per game- the most in his career, yet), expect big things from the experienced Jrue in the future.

Justin Holiday, on the other hand, has been the journeyman of the duo- playing for various NBA outfits as well as for Hungarian teams! After going undrafted in the 2011 draft, he joined Hungarian outfit Okapi Aalstar where he won the Hungarian League and the Hungarian Cup. He played in the NBA D league for for the Odaho Stampede for one season, where he made the All-NBA D League Third Team and Defensive Second Team, before finally making his NBA debut for the Philadelphia 76ers. In 2014, Holiday signed for the Warriors for two seasons and won the NBA title with the team in 2015! He has gone on to play for the Knicks, Hawks and Bulls since.

In the Holiday duo, the lion's share of the limelight and prominence has been enjoyed by Jrue till now, but that is not to take away from the fact that Justin is one of the most reliable role players in the league. Part of the reason why he is a journeyman is that many NBA teams who want quick fixes to leaks in certain areas of their team sign Holiday, who happens to be a reliable role players wo can come off the bench to contribute. Moreover, the Holiday chapter in the NBA is far from over, with Aaron Holiday the latest addition to the league! Holiday was drafted this season and is in line to play in the NBA and carry on the proud Holiday hooping tradition in the league!
