To be clear, this isn’t just something Tucker slapped his name on. He said he was fully involved in every step of the process, which took about six months. “I picked everything,” he said. “They helped me out a ton trying to find fabrics and different things that could make the shirt like I wanted it.

He starred in Israel and then in the Ukraine, and then back in Israel. He played well in Greece, Italy and Germany. He won most valuable player awards and championship trophies. “I wasn’t coming back to the NBA. I had no interest in it,” Tucker said. “I was successful there. … I had established myself to the point where I was one of the best players in Europe at the time. These were million-dollar contracts.”
