"Generity Culture" Behind the NBA Arena: Interesting Interaction between Brunson and Tucker

On May 17, 2025, the second round of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs played a passionate final chapter! The Knicks defeated the Celtics with an unstoppable momentum, eliminating them. After twenty-five years of separation, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals again. The moment the final whistle sounded, Madison Square Garden was boiling, and the scene that happened in the locker room after the game made the fans laugh.

Brunson, who was full of joy after winning, was immersed in the joy of victory. Veteran Tucker walked over, his eyes full of relief, and raised his hand and patted Brunson's butt. This pat was not only a recognition of the outstanding performance of his juniors, but also a unique "jianghu etiquette" in the basketball circle. Brunson looked back with a smile, and he looked like a student who was praised by the teacher, full of respect for his predecessors.

Unexpectedly, the young McBride suddenly rushed out of the crowd, imitating Tucker's appearance, and slapped Brunson's butt with a smile. Now, Brunson was "exploded" in an instant. He picked up the towel at his hand and threw it over, and shouted angrily: "What are you joining in the fun!" "It turns out that McBrider is 4 years younger than Brunson. In the NBA's senior-level world, how can he imitate the "exclusive movements" of old players at will?

This seemingly funny little episode hides the unwritten rules in the NBA locker room. Although Tucker has limited playing time, he is a "stabilizing needle" in the Knicks locker room. The team spent a million to keep him, but not his few minutes on the court, but the aura that can suppress the scene off the court and the "passing and helping lead" that can pass on the experience to young people without reservation. Ability. From the small matter of slapping the butt, you can see that seniority and qualifications are the "passport" for walking in this circle. This small farce caused by the butt not only allows us to see the cute side of the players in private, but also allows us to understand the unique "generation culture" in the basketball world. This is probably the most vivid humanistic scenery outside the competitive sports arena!
