Lauren and Jrue Holiday met as athletes at UCLA. By the time she left school, Lauren was already a starter on the #USWNT. And Jrue applied what he learned from her on his way to a championship. @JaredWeissNBA on the lessons from their marriage ⤵️ https://t.co/Mp5hXjcHzr https://t.co/C7u972YXF8
"Whoever encounters Jrue & Lauren, you just come away feeling better about life, about humanity.” Giannis Antetokounmpo's favorite moment with Jrue Holiday wasn't the lob that won them a title.
