Philadelphia 76ers point guard Jrue Holiday is having a breakout season for himself now in his third year in the NBA now. The 22-year-old is so far averaging about 19 points and 10 assists per game.
However, it doesn’t stop people from making mistakes with his name, whether if it’s adding an extra “L” to his last name (which I don’t understand why some do it) or spelling his name like it’s said (Drew).
Well, that’s exactly what happened on this advertisement, and the sad part is that it was Holiday’s own team. Here’s what a fan noticed on Sixers.com:
Ohhh, come on son! The fan sent the picture to Sixers CEO Adam Aron. It looked like it was noticed very soon, as the ad was taken off very quickly.
Come on, Sixers! How are you going to hire people who don’t even know your best player’s name? Let’s hope the All-Star ballot doesn’t screw it up once we’re ready to start voting.

Its looks like the Philadelphia Sixers Shop Team was getting a little too excited during the Cyber Monday craze and didn’t bother to make sure they spelled their OWN players names correctly.
