Lauren & Jrue Holiday: Before It Looked Like This

All right, so let's jump into first fire game over 20,000 people.

Let's

go.

You get to experience this game with your kids.

You get to see like a foundational game where we make history with being a franchise like breaking records.

And you're there with your family.

Drew, you've played on that court a gazillion times.

You've balled out.

What was it like to sit back on that day and watch women's sports in Portland show up as it did?

A little jealous.

Mm-hmm.

Just knowing that, like, obviously I play there.

The crowd was, like, probably more rowdy than our game.

It was amazing to see because obviously a big avid fan of women's sports and being able to watch the professional athletes do what they do, but...

I think having our daughter there with her friends was amazing, who I think had a basketball tournament that weekend and came from the basketball tournament.

So it was like, it's cool that I got to be a fan, but then also watch maybe the future of WNBA basketball.

And Janie or Lauren Holliday, what was that like? I mean, thinking, seeing JT there, the enthusiasm, but you, we go back to like the inaugural game at the end of your song.

I'll get into that.

But to look at that in this city, that's like the epicenter of women's sports.

What was that like for you going through your lived experience, but then to experience that as a mom?

Yeah, I think you know the story, but we took JT to a basketball game, women's basketball game last year, and they interviewed her and they were like, do you think one day you could be out here to play? And she looked them dead in the eye and said, I will never play basketball.

And then fast forward a year, we're here watching the Portland Fire.

She wants to invite her friends.

She's sitting courtside, and she told my mom a week ago that she wants to play in the WNBA.

And it's like, that is the power of seeing women doing what they're doing at a high level.
