Jrue Holiday: Let’s fast forward to the Pelican days. Obviously, I played on some super talented teams, but that Pelicans team with AD, DeMarcus Cousins, and me—when you look back at it, it was a cheat code. There was nobody at that time who could match up with AD. Nobody. And there sure as hell wasn’t anyone who could match up with DeMarcus. Then, you throw me into the mix. It was… oh my gosh. If we could have kept that team together—there are so many times I think, ‘Man, if we had kept our Philly team together, we would have been really good.’ But if we had kept that Pelicans team together? Oh my gosh. Nobody could see DeMarcus. Nobody could stop him. He was like a 5. And we still had Rondo, we had me, E’Twaun Moore, and Nico. We had three-point shooting and inside presence. What are you supposed to do when you come down the court as an opponent and see DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis coming at you? Nothing. What do you plan to do? Nothing.
