The Miami Heat have a back-to-back on their road trip, as they're slated to face the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Heat forward, P.J. Tucker, who won a title as a member of the Bucks last season, got very emotional when speaking about what Milwaukee means to him ahead of his return to the Fiserv Forum.

That's great stuff from Heat forward P.J. Tucker on the Bucks and Milwaukee. If the people of Milwaukee didn't love Tucker already, they sure do now.
It's really cool that Tucker, who signed with the Heat on a two-year deal this offseason, still has love for the Bucks, even though the two teams could clash down the road.
It's not hard to understand the love affair between Milwaukee and Tucker. As the Journal Sentinel points out, there were many moments on and off the court, such as Tucker celebrating the championship in Milwaukee bars with fans to Tucker playing hard-nosed defense against Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets, that sealed his fate as a Bucks' fan favorite.
And that is a great feeling for a player such as Tucker, who has bounced around with several NBA teams in his career. He really seemed to find himself in Milwaukee, something that should only help him in his Heat career.
Tucker, clearly not wanting to think about it, was unsure when asked what to expect from Bucks fans on Saturday. However, P.J. Tucker knows deep down that he will feel the love from Milwaukee fans even while donning a Heat jersey.
