The highly anticipated Game 4 of the NBA Finals was hyped to the extreme as the Miami Heat defended their home court against the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets came into the Friday night matchup with a 2-1 lead, having defeated the Heat in the last game. So, in order to help and motivate Jimmy Butler and Co. to survive, 51-year-old Chris Tucker came to his aid, grooving on the court, getting the Heat crowd fired up and behind their home team.

Chris Tucker was a ghost for quite some time from the Hollywood industry, 2319 days to be exact. Crediting Michael Jordan?s courtesy for ending his long break, Tucker took it upon himself to get Kaseya Center on its feet and to shout at the top of their lungs.

After their loss in Game 3, the Miami Heat cannot afford to go down a 3-1 deficit. So, in order to keep the momentum in their favor, the Heat needed to take Game 4 before heading back to Denver for Game 5.

The Rush Hour movie star was in the building once again, hyping the Miami crowd, twirling Heat?s flag in order to do so. Tucker was also in the building for their previous matchup, along with a list of celebrities.

Although, it was easier said than done as Nuggets star Nikola Jokic gave his usual performance, dominating the Heat. However, Miami was not going down without a fight, as Jimmy Butler had the Heat veterans helping him at every possession. The game was pretty even for the first three quarters, but it was in the fourth that things got interesting.

Both teams had players stepping up to the occasion, given the stakes of their matchup. However, Tucker’s pre-game motivation failed to do its work as the Nuggets took a commanding 3-1 lead. The 51-year-old actor will be disappointed with the result as he was just adjusting to being back in the spotlight after more than 2300 days.

Chris Tucker’s Gratitude for Michael Jordan

The fact that fans are getting to see Chris Tucker after a seven-year-long break is indeed a sight for sore eyes. Tucker last starred in Long Halftime Walk, which came out in 2016. And he has no one but the Chicago Bulls legend to thank.

If it wasn?t for Michael Jordan demanding a role for Howard White in the movie Air, Tucker?s long hiatus might have extended a bit more. However, things worked out, and fans saw Tucker back in action on the big screen. Not only that, the 51-year-old millionaire actor can now actively be seen on the sidelines of NBA games as well.
