Holiday brothers Jrue, Justin, and Aaron Holiday make history by appearing in same NBA game.
Jrue Holiday, Justin Holiday, and Aaron Holiday made some NBA history on Saturday night, as they became the first trio of brothers to play in the same game in league history.
Jrue started for the New Orleans Pelicans, while Justin and Aaron both played for the Indiana Pacers; Aaron started for Indiana, while Justin came off of the bench.
Ironicallythe Antetokounmpo brothers -- Giannis and Thanasis of the Milwaukee Bucks and Kostas of the Los Angeles Lakers -- almost accomplished the feat earlier this month, but soon Giannis ended up being the only one of the three to actually play in the game.

Shawn Holiday, the father of the three Holiday boys, said:
"It's a blessing," Shawn said. "There's no other way to put it. You couldn't write the script any better than this. Them growing up, you couldn't envision this. For it to come true at this stage and this level, it's pretty amazing."
Aaron scored 25 points in the game, while Jrue had 20 points and 7 assists, and ultimately it was Jrue and the Pelicans that walked away with a 120-98 win on Saturday night.
