New Portland Trail Blazers acquisition Jrue Holiday penned a heartfelt farewell letter to the Milwaukee Bucks fans as he embarks on a new chapter with his new team.

The 33-year-old combo guard took on the social media platform Instagram to convey his message to the team he was part of for three seasons.

"Thank you fans! For those who know me best, they know we are all about family. Milwaukee - you welcomed me and my family into your city, into your homes, into your hearts," the two-time NBA All-Star said.

The former UCLA player is considered one of the league's best perimeter defenders. He has earned All-NBA Defensive Team honors in five of the last six seasons, with three First Team selections (2018, 2021, 2023) and two Second Team selections (2019, 2022).

"We will forever be champions together, and me and my family will forever be grateful and thankful. Until next time, thanks for everything!," the 2021 NBA champion concluded.
