Milwaukee Bucks fans will always have 2021. Things might not appear encouraging this season but they can always go back to four years ago when they won the NBA title.
Everybody can get emotional about that year, just like PJ Tucker.
The undersized power forward is no longer part of the team ever since lifting the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy. Despite, he remains endeared to the hearts of Bucks fans.
He and his current team, the New York Knicks, will pay Fiserv Forum a visit on Friday as placing in the Eastern Conference gets more intense.
His team bus happened to pass by the the Hoan Bridge in downtown Milwaukee and he got a bit emotional based on his story on his personal Instagram account.
“Wish I could explain the feeling every time i cross this bridge. . .” he wrote in the caption.
Bucks joined him in the dive deep into nostalgia.

Why did Milwaukee Bucks drop PJ Tucker?
Tucker, 39, is a huge part of the Bucks championship run. They were his stopper and relieved Giannis Antetokounmpo of his some defensive duties against opponents’ best player.
Unfortunately, they were not able to keep him.
It is all because of failed negotiations. He wanted better money after winning the title.
“Milwaukee, they didn’t do I thought they should do. It was like they just wanted to match. They’re like, ‘Get an offer, and we’ll match whoever offers you,’ and I was like, ‘You want better? Imma leave.’ I’m gonna go to whoever offers me, and you can keep your match.”
