Remaining NBA playoff teams pay homage on Mother's Day, but Miami Heat's video steals the show image

Mothers do so much, not all of it which is fully recognized or acknowledged.

On this Mother's Day, players on the Miami Heat were asked if they had any interest in a new job-- if they weren't basketball players.

The job description?

  • Constant exertion
  • Work all weekends and holidays
  • Need a degree in medicine, finance and culinary.

The pay? Zero. 

By the time P.J. Tucker, Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo, Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent heard the pitch, all the Heat players sounded out of the running for the job. Oladipo even jokingly walked off set.

It was at that point the interviewer revealed the position described was the job description of a mom.

Tucker's reaction is truly the most heartwarming. It was clear he was caught off guard and emotional.
