    In case anyone forgot/needs a refresher, that game against Orlando James put up 60 points, 10 rebs, 11 assists, and 4 steals.

    Great article. Shows how much respect Tuck has for Harden and how much of this season is been so special. We tend to forget that in the playoffs.

    I don’t think I would trade Tuck for anyone. I don’t know who can replace him at that salary or even production. He’s very very special player and we are lucky to have him with Harden and CP3. You can thank CP3 for bringing him here. Some of that 40 mil is for Tucker.

    Tucker is a fine writer. He should pursue a career in sportswriting after retiring from the NBA.

    Tuck will forever get a free pass in my book from this point on. Tuck cannot be wrong!

    Just read every word of it. Very heartful. Man, mad respect to Tuck too. We all need a partner like that. In a way, how lucky we have him on this team.

    And he is being too modest about himself -- about he couldn't stop Harden. Guys, when he was on the Suns team, we all hated him, didn't we, coz he always seemed to have ways to outplay Harden in stretches. The world got to know his strength and capability much later than us!

    Great great human being. I hope he retires as Rocket!

    He is a passionate person with a big heart and sincerity. You can feel it in his writing too. He will do well in everything in life with that attitude.

    Tuck, stop cutting onions. I know it's objective af, and the writing is one hunnid.

    But you cut onions last night too, and we overloaded on that **** right now.

    Simply fantastic read. Extremely humble and manages to skillfully cover a wide variety of traits about James from Tucker's unique perspective. Eloquent yet conversational and succinct at that. I'd love to read more from PJ.

    What a great read, it gives you a case of the feels.

    We as fans are incredibly lucky to be along for this ride. And I’m going to ride the hell out of this until the wheels fall off.
