Here’s Philadelphia 76ers power forward PJ Tucker speaking about his leadership qualities and the veteran presence he brings to the team.

“‘Talk to James [Harden].’ ‘Talk to Tobias [Harris].’ ‘Talk to Tyrese.’ That’s part of my job,” Tucker said. “Coaches always want to do that. That’s part of my job. 

“That’s why I don’t get paid enough. People don’t understand that I’m a social worker and an NBA role player.”
