Some choice quotes from players working out for the Portland Trail Blazers

Aaron Holiday

Aaron Holiday, a 6-foot-1 guard out of UCLA comes from a basketball family. His big brothers Jrue and Justin are NBA players. And both his parents and his sister played basketball. So he has a lot to live up to.

What was it like growing up with a house filled with ballers?

“(It) taught me how to be tough,” Aaron said during a recent interview session. “They’re bigger than me, stronger than me back in the day. My sister played as well. So (it) just taught me toughness. I didn’t win many games out there, even though I got a few in. But, yeah, it just taught me to just continue to fight no matter what.”
