P.J. Tucker has become a Milwaukee Bucks legend in a very short period of time. Tucker’s energy on defense and his intangibles have been needed throughout these playoffs and down the stretch. Tucker met with the media after the Game 6 win. He talked about a variety of things in this eight-minute press conference that is worth your time. But the commentary about how much he loves the playoffs, his relationship with Kevin Durant, how Game 6 was different than Game 5. It is all worthwhile nuggets that matter to what the Bucks are here down the stretch.

"It's the playoffs, man. I don't know what people think. We dream about this our whole lives. You dream about being in the playoffs and guarding the best player in the world. Like, I'll die out there. I'm living my dream." https://t.co/yjIIBCzWLW

There are podcasts that Mitch and I taped years ago where I talked about how much I would like Tucker on the Bucks. I’ve always known this guy would be a player I would love to root for. And that’s exactly what P.J. is. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday are all some of my favorite players, but it’s hard not to look like Tucker in that group or maybe elevate over Holiday. There is so much good about what Tucker brings.
