#31: Jrue Holiday (2009–Present)
Jrue Holiday’s defense is his calling card—but in Game 5 of the 2021 NBA Finals, it was a steal. He ripped the ball from Devin Booker, then lobbed an alley-oop to Giannis for the dagger. That play helped seal Milwaukee’s first title in 50 years. Holiday’s résumé includes two All-Star selections, five All-Defensive nods, and a 2021 gold medal.

Known for his poise, unselfishness, and two-way excellence, he often guards the opposing team’s best player, no matter the position. Jrue doesn’t dominate headlines. He dominates matchups. Quietly, he’s become one of the most respected guards in the game.
