The former Rockets champion has followed the four teams to the division finals. Can he reach the finals again?

On May 17, 2025, the NBA playoffs continued. In the Knicks' home game against the Celtics, they firmly took the initiative from the beginning of the game, and finally defeated their opponents easily 119:81, defeated their opponents with a total score of 4:2, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

For the Knicks, this time it reached the final is of great significance, and according to statistics, the team's veteran PJ Tucker also followed the fourth team to the division finals in his career. In the 2017-2018 season, he followed the Rockets to the division finals and eventually lost to the Warriors 3:4 in the Western Conference Finals. Then in the 20-21 season, he followed the Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals, and eliminated the Hawks 4:2 in the Eastern Conference Finals, reached the Finals, and finally won the championship. In the 21-22 season, he followed the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals, but lost to the Celtics 3:4.

For veteran Tucker, although he did not get much chance in the Knicks this season, he averaged 19.3 minutes per game in the regular season, scored 3 points and 2.7 rebounds, and only played 3 games. There was only one game in the playoffs and there was no performance. As a 40-year-old veteran, it is already very difficult for him to compete in the league. His influence in the game may be minimal, but his role in the locker room should still be very large. I hope he can continue to create magic in the final stages of his career and strive to follow the Knicks to compete for the championship this season.
