this the type of stuff that should be gettin coverage
i know right?? i remember this happened like more than a few years ago if im not mistaken..got little coverage then..better late than never but its all good ..people, young men, boys need to see more of these types of examples ..
100%
Orlando De Los Santos I agree, lots of people don’t see the appeal of staying in a committed relationship. It’s not a favorable ideal anymore
They do, but nobody watches so why keep reporting it?
No the media is too busy with stupid stories and fake news to put this on
That's a real man/father/husband, sending positive energy to the family and yourself Jrue.💙
@Ezperanza Luis ong truth hurts
May God be with you and bless you always get well soon 💞
@Ezperanza Luis omg pls be nice
What is positive energy?
Jesus Christ is better then wifi. Talk to him to send love and healing to other's instantly. Colossians 1 get woke
Sold out - not a real black man.
Who’s watching in 2021? Jrue deserves a ring. A true man, father and one of the best 2 way players in the league!
He will get a ring alongside Giannis and Khris
word 👍
reason why he fits in so well is because the bucks are all about creating a FAMILY environment and thats what Jrue is all about. Giannis is a Father and Khris as well... It's all about going hard on the court for your brothers, a CHIP is coming.
Jrue fits right in w Milwuakee The most family oriented team in the NbA we love him here in the 414
He will get one. But really, he doesn`t need one to be who he is: a great human being..
Came back after he won the championship. God is good.
Amen brother!
Jrue really glorify the name of the Lord
God is definitely Good 🙏.
And a Gold Medal! Now both of them are olympic gold medalists!
I really have a major problem with this "God is good" statement after something good happens in someone's life. Many many people lose their loved ones through cancer and their lives get worse every day for them, so in those cases, is God bad?
In Yemen "2.3 million children under the age of five are at risk of starving to death.", nothing is getting better for them. They have stepped into this world completely innocent and are suffering every day, so let me ask the question again, is God bad?
Can God be good and bad at the same time? Is God watching every single human and decide for their lives and sometimes decide to be good?
This is life, for somebody goes well, and for many others goes terrible. doesn't need to attribute the "well-being" of some people to God. If you do so, you have to blame God for the miserable lives of many other people. You just have to. It can't go one way and not the other.
This should put things in perspective for fans when they want to insult athletes. Life is much bigger than sport!!!!
Shawn Dasent Amen brotha!
Yassss
What? When you say insult are you saying that we as fans shouldn’t insult them personally? Than yes. But if you mean their game than no. We are allowed to judge their game and give opinions that’s what sports is all about, who is better. I do agree you shouldn’t ever insult them personally but their skills and ability to play the sport they play should always be up for criticism.
Hellboy critique and insults aren't the same
@@shawndasent Okay, in that case I agree. Insulting an athlete personally is clearly an objectively bad thing to do. But things such as a players skills and abilities should always be allowed to be judged for how great and/or bad they are, it's just how sport works.
their kid is going to be scary athletic.
Fr they son and daughter
You completely missed the story.
Hybrid athlete in d mere future men😎
And now he signed a 4 year, 160 million dollar contract. Definitely deserved, this mans a legend ✊
yeah and that's his second max contract after the one he signed with new Orleans so his career earnings should be over 300 million.
Legend???
4 yrs $135M not $160M
That is a real man. Nothing comes before your family.
Dominic Toretto would like to know your location...
GOD FIRST, FAMILY SECOND AND THIRD WORK
@@renzrovira5707 hahahahahahhha! 😂😂😂
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!
Madi kayla them kids better play some sort of sport bc they have hella good genes
Wolfie Wiggins facts!!!
Yes she a was an exceptional talent.
@@wolfiewiggins2810 just cause it's in their jeans doesn't necessarily mean they gotta play sports they probably even don't wanna play sports
She was very good for womens I agree... unfortunate she retired early. She resembled a Carli loyd
Jrue for his wife
Giannis for his father
These Bucks players have a different engine than the Suns.
Both have overcome so much off the court, being down 0-2 in a finals series is nothing compared to what these 2 have endured! Their fortitude and attitudes is what gives me the most confidence for this game 6. You know they're not going to take that game for granted and get cocky and full of themselves just for winning 3 straight. Hope God rewards these 2 men with a ring tomorrow night
Bro this is unfair, you should listen to the story of most Suns players, specially Monty Williams, at the end the better team (and my favourite) won, but still, both teams deserve a ring.
@@jardanivito I know Coach Montys story. I am inspired by his faith as a Christian myself. I was talking about the players.
Meanwhile Booker for Kendall 😂
Lol just because suns players didn’t make their lives public doesn’t mean they had a different “engine” get over yourself
That part about her being fearful of him loosing both his kid and her was hard to watch
Man who you telling
Facts me that 💯
Jrue steal the ball Giannis running at the break, jrue saw Giannis throw the ball slamdunk and 1
bro we WON
Respect to giannis for marrying a black woman that's rare nowadays.
That steal won the championship
@@seanmcgrath3548 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯💯💯💯
@@seanmcgrath3548 Ikr! It seems like a white woman is a prize that niggaz hope for once successful. Strange!
“Everything that I have is because of her” wow. What a man. What a story.
Judline Wren - Would he say that if she was black?
S L I don’t see why not???
@@xmuta what kind of question is that
Zack Bellerive - as a white guy, you won’t understand
Oh for christs sake. You’re a real wet blanket, thanks for showing up.
Jrue is still so underrated 💯💙
He is not underrated LOL a bunch of teams just tried to trade for him at the trade deadline but the Pelicans wouldn't let him go
I agree so skilled!
Basketball God facts real playoff teams know his worth!! That man is solid on both ends of the floor.. I want him out on New Orleans and I hope Zion doesn’t waste away.
Basketball God first of all jus bc teams see his worth doesnt mean he isnt underrated . N i am not saying tht is a bad thing , but jrue has always been an under the radar player .
Very underrated
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.
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.
@fishbone3333 Salute 💯💪🏾🙏🏾
Jrue Holiday!
I wonder why he plays so hard, just now realized that he played for his family and love
yep.. I’m pretty sure he donated his entire salary this year to black owned businesses as well.. definitely my favorite player
Jrue deserves all the respect he gets for being a loving father.
and a loving HUSBAND.
He is a good person and it shows in his actions. Those speak the loudest.
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!
He didn’t take the season off. He missed about 2-3 months bc Lauren had her brain surgery
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.
What makes Jrue a Man's Man is he would tell you his Wife deserves a Ring
who's here after he won the Championship? well deserved.
I'm glad she recovered. They seem to be a great family, I wish them well.
I'm.glad too
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.
teezy13500 every player is a 2way player u clown
@@crisclay2678 Take your toxicity elsewhere.
@@crisclay2678 tell that to james harden
cris clay so not true 😂

And now he's a champion,just wow. He deserves it
Shouts out to Jrue Holiday Who's performing at a High level in these finals & gon get this 21 NBA Chip with bro Gannis

@@jfromstate8581 sike
Takes a big man to handle all that! Big ups to JRUE!
Facts. Great guy on and off the court one of my fav players
Facts!!!!
Did know he was going through that!!!
@Culture Freedom seems so huh
@Culture Freedom Shame on you.
@Culture Freedom someone either got dumped or hasn't had any luck. Bitter af lmao
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.
NO, we don't need more stories like this because it sucks having to see people suffer through situations like this but I get where you're coming from. Id rather see beautiful stories like this than other BS on t.v.
@@ThinkThroughTactical it's hard to see suffering, very hard. But it is the crucible where so much of what we learn is truly valuable, how much and why is understood.
@@mark-be9mq Agreed.. it also puts in perspective how much like us they are ...besides the money , fame, accessibility and other things ..when suffering and pain hit this people you can see them that they’re just humans like us after all
"I want a family." We live in a weird culture where we don't hear that said enough by men. Which is made further weird by the fact that women say it all the time. Yet men and women can't do this separately. Parents need to start raising their sons and daughters to want the same thing, which is the continuation of family.
It is not weird. It is people making choices that best suit them.
Now people just wanylt to f**k insta baddies and move to the next. If she gets pregnant , they won't care about the baby out there.
“Parents need to start raising their kids to want families.” Unless you have a six figure income it’s pretty stupid to start a family or have kids period.I watched my father struggle working three jobs to support us.Why would I make the same mistake he did, when I can travel and enjoy the world by not having children?
@@MrBison-eq8hb for most people I always think one kid is enough
Not everyone wants kids
Was really impressed with Jrue when I heard him on Redick's podcast; intelligent, sincere, funny, grounded. This story took that to a whole new level.
How can anyone "thumbs down" this?!?! Praise the Lord for His protection and their example of committment to marriage.
Ryan Kittell most likely because it’s a bm/ww couple and people are just heartless
Ryan Kittell Interracial and married in the world we live in today the story might as well be watched on mute.
Narcissists people will do
My question also. God bless them!
Obviously people hating on the interracial aspect. It’s the only reason a person could hate on this.
She's the strong woman every man needs. Great couple, beautiful kid and she has a killer athletic body. No doubt their kids will excel in sports.
excel* my guy! Not trying to be harsh...just want to help :D
imgeisbeast Hah. I was writing on ps4, quickly. Lemme edit.
not all men need a woman in their life
@@xart23x lmao all good. was hoping you were't illiterate. glad you aren't
imgeisbeast You must’ve typed your last message on your PS4 too, lol.
A man that put family before money is a real winner!!! Although money always help and he have more than enough to be able to do that. God Bless The Holiday Family 🙏❣️💯
I'm watching this coz I just saw him steal the ball from booker then pass the ball to giannis for an alley hoop. Probably best play in nba finals history
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
Jesus Christ, I’m just recently married and I couldn’t imagine the type of husband/father it takes to endure something like this. Keep being strong for your family Jrue. Much respect
Reefer Vega “endure” leave the reefer alone!
John ETA 😭😭🤦🏾♂️
Congrats on the recent marriage!🎉❤️🍾🎊
Jesus keep being strong in this relationship.
So humble player
this stuff needs to be shown during games. like between quarters or halftime. the average nba fan will not dig deep enough to see this.
This family deserves nothing but good things including a ring!
And he got it now man.
Whew at least it wasn’t cancerous. Hopefully she makes a full recovery.
A beautiful family holding onto each other
Indeed 🙏🏿
By the way, in medicine, a tumour that spreads is malignant. Tumours
are cancerous (they divide uncontrollably). They can then be benign or malignant.
Jrue Holiday is what we love in a player, plays defense, and he's a very good man!
Honestly, as a Bucks fan, I don’t even care if we get one. Being able to root for people like Giannis, Jrue, and Khris everyday is enough for me.
Ha then you ain’t a real fan
@@Diego-un8yo ha and you're an immature child
@@ariasfit 😘
Vince a jack of all trades
I love Vince, your wwe is fantastic. Can’t get enough
Lauren, you said there were two things wrong with you, you should be assured there’s nothing wrong with you.
Except she got this joker looking grin
Basketball is dope, But a life with someone you love is indescribable. Much love to the holiday family !❤️
When GRACE is given and received, you're nothing less than GRACIOUS! Be bless, The Holiday family!
What a strong beautiful family! I’m so glad everything turned out so well for them. Proud to have them part of the Milwaukee community & have Jrue on the team.
Nothing but respect for this guy
This was so beautiful. Good job Jrue
Now a world Champion much deserved
If there was ever a couple I wish stayed together forever it's these two. They're an amazing example of commitment, family and love above everything else.
Jrue and dame are my favorite point guards in the league, they play hard every night. Two guys I would love to see get a ring.
What do you mean they play hard every night? As opposed to what other starting point guard's job
With Jrue he's only praised for his defence...how do you have AD in his prime and only manage 1 playoff series win with AD lights out....his defence is alright...he was underrated but cmon he isn't changing any team or franchises life
With Dame,he is great but how much help does he need to win?Both Nurkic and Zack Collins are out but they are still stacked but keep loosing games with him in lineup...what does that say about his overall value to your team on the court
@Joshua JohnsonBy that logic why would you blame the only other team n players that faced a full strength warriors with KD n pushed them to their limits and lost
@@vincentkariuki4227 its his favorite player......stop ranting about stats
@@vincentkariuki4227 mzae, unapea watu maneno😂
Vincent Kariuki yea cause jrue n ad was gonna take down a healthy warriors squad that were on a tear. Second of all you just said the Portland roster is stacked? Even with all these injuries? You’re definitely a casual.
What a man. What a woman. What a family.
That kid is going to be a monster athlete too!
Who is here now that Jrue is an NBA CHAMPION!
One more game Jrue.... You deserve this ring
Nice story i felt like this could've been longer tho
Should've been a 30 minute special or something
True. But I felt like while they did feel like talking about it. It's still a sensitive issue and a personal one. So they don't want to talk about it completely. Which we should respect.
Figs3 Very true^
Figs3 yea I guess
Right is this just a trailer??
Jrue’s a good man, and now he has a championship ring!
And Lauren... she’s an inspiration.
this guy gets it
What does he get?

Reverting to this hours after he'd just won his 1st NBA Ring....
Dude utterly deserves... 🙌🏾
Wow! 🤔You just never know what folks are going through, dealing with in life. Man... blessings to the Holidays.🙏🏿🎚
I luv seeing shii like this 💯💙
Nearly shed a tear on that one. That hits the heart. I pray they continue to be whole, healthy and blessed. Kudos to the Drew and them as family.
Major update: Jrue won a ring. So happy for him and his family. Such a model family.
why do rich blacks avoid women of their own race-Pippen , MJ -tim duncan why?
@@KingoftheRoad-2023you’re weird
Man... This nearly brought me to tears 😭 My mom also has a brain tumor and I can feel the pain and the struggles they are undergoing because I saw it firsthand. Hoping all the best for their family and all the other families that are affected by this tumor. Shoutout to my mom for still hanging on with this and hoping that she can recover fully. Love you mom ❤️ Love yall!
What a father, mother, wife and husband. I’m in tears with what I just saw. I just saw Jrue become and NBA Champion, but this is more impressive.
❤
Finally got that ring. What a story!
You are a legend Jrue! Great champion! For all those who can appreciate basketball at different levels you are an exceptional player. One of a kind. Thank you for being such a great person as well! Enjoy time with your family
Prayers go out to Jrue and his family
These are 2 adults who love each other, and are doing WHATEVER it takes to keep themselves together, in love. Much honor and respect.
Jrue one of the nicest NBA player .a family man.a Generous .
Booker on the drive! Owwww holiday stole it, passes to Giannis! Owwww what an alley oop and ONE! Chris Paul on foul.
Bucks only needs one win to get the Trophy 🏆 😊
we got it man BUCKS 2021 CHAMPIONS
This is crazy! So glad she’s doing well. To be pregnant and have a brain tumor😭
Man N.O went through, first with Ryan Anderson girlfriend suicide, Monty Williams tragedy, then jrue
That voodoo over there is crazy.
The ManDragon bro 😳 that's wild
How u forget about kobe
Chris he said the team New Orleans only
BDJ death too
Happy this couple shared their story. Survival rates for people with brain tumours have improved so much over the years.
I worked at a brain cancer ward with mainly surgical patients and I was amazed at how pts went home three days after surgery. Humbling experience.
Wishing this family all the best.
What an incredible story of love, sacrifice, and perseverance. So happy for Jrue, Lauren and their daughter. With those genes, She’s probably going to be a gifted athlete superstar as well. Congrats to the Milwaukee bucks!
real mvp in life
Amazing couple. He adores his wife and baby girl. Wish them all the best
Big respect for Jrue and his WIFE.... they are already champions!!!
The epitome of what a real man is. Role models lead by example!
Say it LOUD and say it PROUD!!!!
What a beautiful family. All the best wishes for them
Real Stand Up Guy, God Bless Him And His Family 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
He also donates a large chunk of his money. Just an all around great guy. So happy he's a Buck.
And now the universe has come full circle, Jrue is a WORLD CHAMPION!
They’re Daugther gonna be a beast athlete one day , Good Combination of Genes
If she chooses to be.
Or she might become an oil pastel painter, you know whatever makes her happy
Michelle R they why aren’t you guys The best at soccer baseball or boxing ??? Lacrosse hockey ? You Think Of Football and basketball and yu think you guys are the best at everything but there’s a lot of sport out there so just stfu and realize hard work determination dedication is wat makes a great athlete not melanin
@Michelle R you are one dumb lady.
Michelle R chill out..... no need for your rude comment, we only saying positive things here, keep your negativity as far as possible, no need to spread it.
I just wanna tel Jrue, Thanks for showing me what’s important. You effected my mindset on what is important
On and off the court he’s great. That’s awesome and their relationship is beautiful. One of my favorite athletes ever, Jrue Holiday! Major props to Lauren too, she’s amazing! 👏
What a year for Jrue. NBA champion and gold medalist
Happy everything is going well for them after a very traumatic experience! Continual prayers to the Holiday family! Jrue is a underrated player! Needs to be with a serious contender!
A. Armstead pels will be nasty in a few years
Jrue is where he belongs. The franchise now that and so do their fans. He will be a part of their return to respectability and retire a pelican. Always been a fan of his even though I rout for another team. God bless Jrue and his family.
As a Celtic fan, I have always respected him. I would LOVE him on my team. But I think NO is going to be good very soon.
He became my favorite player years ago over this... I sadly thought those seasons he was out, he was spending his last years with his wife, and didn’t even see the miracle as possible, I’m so happy that she’s Healthy and he and his child are too. I love that they have a future ahead of them
What a husband, what a wife and what a beautiful story.
God bless you and your family!
One of my favorite players ever‼️ Been following him since UCLA
Who's here after he won the championship 💯💯
I am
I wish from the bottom of my heart, sincerely a great recovery, great health, happiness and love on your family Jrue! Please return when you are ready in good spirits and better than ever dear human being! Your daughter is so amazing!
Jrue achieved everything he wanted in 2021. His family and wife are healthy. He is a NBA and Olympic Champion. What a way to enjoy the 2nd half of your career =)
im not gonna cry, im not gonna cry....dang....cry it is. beautiful. college love to adult love, beautiful family
I had a brain tumor so glad he's being strong
john doughh depends on where the tumor is , sometimes it can show symptoms like behavior changes , throwing up , headaches , fatigue , blurry vision .
john doughh I never had one just know from studying medicine
Smells like a cap
I had A full body x-ray and they found it
@@restinpeacekobe987 Who me
Love when he said she is even more competitive 👏
Jrue the definition of a real man❤️ honestly a better role model then most of the superstars in the league
I already respected him as a player. But I really respect him as a man! Way to go Champ!💪
CZcams recommended me this after Jrue won the finals
Can't stop crying. God Bless you guys. I will pray for you guys. Wow.💯👍
Praying for your family right now, my good friend passed on Friday from stage 4 cancer keep praying and know God is great in every situation. God bless you guys!
