The reigning Olympic champions, the United States, managed to maintain their status in Paris by winning the final against France.

A feat that a big name in the American squad returned to by providing a notable nuance.

Any result other than a final victory would have seemed like a failure.

Indeed, as in any international competition, the United States had the mission to win it.

Which they did at the Paris Olympic Games by triumphing against France.

An important member of Steve Kerr’s squad, Jrue Holiday thus obtained the prestigious status of double Olympic champion.

Jrue Holiday honest about the United States’ title at the Paris Olympics

A member of the American team crowned in 2021 in Tokyo, Holiday had already experienced the joy of winning gold at the Olympics.

He even placed himself more generally as a regular at major titles, having for example become NBA champion for the second time last June, with the Celtics.

He also recently admitted to having a more memorable memory of his ring won against the Mavericks:

Jrue Holiday: It was cool to win the medal in Paris against France, because it was a bit like “Us against the world”, but winning here, in Boston, was even more incredible.

I’m not sure I could have experienced a better feeling.

When I remember Game 5, the crowd, the shot that Payton (Pritchard) made… It was all so exceptional.

Not to mention the parade that was crazy too!

Proud to represent his country on the FIBA ​​stage, the star point guard would nevertheless not have felt emotions as strong as those experienced during the last Finals.

An honest admission that can after all be heard, knowing that the C’s coronation came after a long and exhausting season.

In any case, it is indeed for his two recent successes that he was once again acclaimed in recent hours in Boston:


For Jrue Holiday, the happiness brought on by winning the Olympics would not be equivalent to winning an NBA championship in Boston.

It would therefore be interesting to know if Jayson Tatum or Derrick White share this opinion.
