Mike Breen: There's Jrue Holiday's Wife In The Crowd...Whoops, No It's Not!
Oops, that's not Jrue Holiday's wife.
Someone in Mike Breen's ear last night during Game 5 of the NBA Finals: We have a camera on a white woman. It's Jrue Holiday's wife with their two kids. We'll bring up the shot.
"And there's his wife," Mike Breen tells the ESPN/ABC audience as the Celtics closed in on another NBA title.
The bad news for Breen, and whomever was in his ear, is that the woman in the crowd WAS NOT Lauren Holiday.
Who is Jrue Holiday's wife?
That would be Lauren Holiday, a former member of the United States Women's National Soccer Team. Yes, they have two kids. Yes, she's a white woman with brown hair and the woman in the crowd has blondish brown hair.
Observers believe the Jrue Holiday gaffe wasn't Breen's only rough moment of the night. Viewers also believe ESPN's play-by-play guy also misidentified Jayson Tatum's father during the game.
