The now Bucks player is one of the league’s viral sensations to be one of the largest shoe collectors, with more than 5,000 pairs, including fairly limited pieces that he gets and shines on the tracks.
Tucker had been separated from the planter a few weeks ago in what they were looking for a change to a contender, As the veteran did not want to be part of the reconstruction of the Rockets in what is his last year of contract. He averaged just 4.4 points per game and 31.4% triples, his worst records since returning to the NBA in 2012 after a couple of seasons in European basketball.
