Jrue Holiday explains how difficult it was to play in Philly: “They trashed a guy for talking to me and I’m like ‘Naah keep him in'”


It’s well known that Philly is no place to mock every NBA fan. Sixers fans won’t let you breathe, especially when you’re trying to do the best of your caliber, and the last shooting star to justify that claim was the Milwaukee Bucks’ Jrue Holiday. The 31-year-old revealed an incident during a fan’s recent visit where she decided to trash speaking out against her.

Fans would be aware of how ferociously the Philadelphia 76ers’ fanbase was chasing their own players, if necessary taking the example of Ben Simmons. Not only did it cost them conference final tickets, but they were eventually kicked out for failing to capture the excitement. The same is emphasized by Jrue Holiday. Check out his reveal.
