Jrue Holiday had just a single item on the box score during their last game of the season. But just getting his name on it earned him a mighty fine check, much to the delight of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
With just one game to go and 66 total played, the Milwaukee Bucks point guard needed to reach 67 games played this season in order to secure himself an added monetary bonus of $306,000. He played just eight seconds before committing a foul and checking out of the game.

LeBron James couldn't help but give his seal of approval over the move. The Lakers star gave a simple reaction on Twitter just to applaud the move, both for Holiday and for the Bucks for the classy gesture to secure their player's bonus.
“Secure the 💼!!!” said the Lakers star.

LeBron James and the Lakers may be out of playoff contention, but that doesn't mean they won't be taking in the action from here on out.
The Bucks made the wise move to sit their star for a meaningless game but also stayed classy in giving him a well-deserved pay bump. That speaks volumes about the relationship they've forged with their players, and it starts at the top with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
