Holiday Brothers: Brotherly Triple

When three of the brothers are on the same floor, it looks like some backyard pick-up game.

It first happened in 2019 when the New Orleans Pelicans hosted the Indian Pacers, and all three brothers got a chance to play in the same game in Louisiana City.

This game made history in NBA history where brother trio appeared together in a game.

Of course, there are many brothers, duo, or trio to play in the NBA  against each other or alongside each other. But it is rare to see brothers at the same time make it to the NBA.

Jrue was a veteran starter for New Orleans Pelicans, while Justin was a reserve wing for the Indiana Pacers and Aaron starting guard for Indiana Pacers.

Three Brothers in Same NBA Game

Similarly, in the 2019 game, Jrue a Pelicans had 20 points and seven assists, leading 120-98 victory, and Aaron had a game-high 25 points. Unfortunately, Justin was unable to score.

However, all three brothers were on the court together during one point in the second half, making many headlines.

Since the 2019 game, Holiday brothers have played for the three times. On February 8, 2020, the Holiday brothers played again together.

Jrue from Pelicans piled up 31 points and led the team to a 124-117 victory against Indiana Pacers, where Justin and Aaron were subs. Similarly, Justin and Aaron scored 7 and 2 points, respectively.

Holiday Brothers: Childhood and Parents

Parents

The Holiday brothers are born to parents Shawn Holiday and Toya Holiday. The brothers had no difficulty venturing into basketball because his parents were also basketball players who used to play basketball at Arizona State University.

In addition, their mother, Toya, received the 1982 Pac-10 player of the year award.

Though both parents were athletes, Shawn and Toya never forced their children to sports and never groomed for an NBA career. That all came later. Also, Shaw and Toya wanted their sons to choose their career path themselves.

In one interview, Holiday’s brother’s father, Shawn, mentioned that seeing them together in the same game court made him super proud.

While Holiday’s brothers were growing up, Shawn and Toya never envisioned this future for their sons. It felt pretty amazing, like a script from any movie related to brothers to their parents.
