The prolonged illness, which had no name, made him so tired that he made the difficult decision to end his athletic career once and for all.
Brown University’s 6 feet 8 inch tall Ivy League star withdrew his enrollment.
He then returned to his family’s Brookline home, where he isolated himself from almost everything, only emerging from the shell of his bedroom for rare lunches with his mother.
Then, on a specific day in 2013, when Dr. Scott Hammer, an infectious disease specialist, informed Tucker that his basketball career was over, the athlete went to a music store and purchased a D.J. setup and speaker, kicking off his musical journey.
