Alando Tucker Strives to Be Different

From Suns.com:
I make jokes and I tell my mother that on my wedding day we’re going to have Kool-Aid at my wedding. We’re going to have a non-alcoholic wedding. I told her I’m going to do something different. I’m going to push the limits because I’m that type of person.
If we win the NBA Championship someday, I’ll pop the champagne, but I’m not drinking it. I’ll get that sparkling apple juice ordered for me. It’s all about the message that I’m trying to send. It’s not a religious decision. It’s a social choice and how I want to be remembered as ...
Alando Tucker is unlike most pro athletes

... a matter of blocks, too. If you went down the street a few blocks there’d be one gang and if you kept going a few more blocks there’d be another. And sometimes you’d have to walk through it to get to school.
Tucker describes all of his hardships growing up in Chicago over on Suns.com. It’s a pretty powerful story and refreshing to hear an athlete who isn’t out “making it rain” or getting a DUI for one reason or another.
Check out Alando’s blog over at Suns.com.

Gentry: Tucker, get over here.
Tucker: hey coach, what’s up? You want me to work out with Fropez, Dragic and Duds some more?
Gentry: not tonight, Tucker, warm up with the starters. I’ve penciled you in at the 2 tonight.

It’s time for the Suns to clean out their closet

... Alando Tucker is like the sweatshirt you really like and would love to keep because it’s just a good quality garment. When you try it on however it just doesn’t quite fit over those love handles you’ve grown. Tucker is a great guy, as documented on Suns.com, but he has never quite fit the Suns. When the Suns drafted him 29th overall last year, they thought he could help contribute. In his two seasons he has appeared in 31 games for the team and only averaged 4 points. He looked good in the NBADL, but for whatever reason it hasn’t translated onto the ...

... In his Suns.com blog entry entitled ”My Uncommon Habit,” Tucker explains, “I have friends that have died and even in college I’d hear every other week about a friend or someone I grew up with getting killed or dying. A lot of times we’d hear gunshots and be scared for our lives.” ...
Alando Tucker: Can He Contribute?

... knows... As it was, he struggled all season with that knee injury (see his exit interview).
I still believe in Tucker and think he can be a back up two guard in this league. He is already a better defender then JRich and because of his experience in college is fantastic in the paint. His mid-range game has improved a lot and of course he knows that he needs to work on his flat three point shot.
He's also a great kid and a fantastic teammate. See his blog on Suns.com if you haven't already.
