It makes sense. Bucky had his back and protected him from bullies when he was a scrawny punk who couldn't defend himself. That's his boy for life. That doesn't necessarily mean he thinks Bucky would be the best Captain America tho. Sam been on the straight and narrow forever, always had his back on missions, and stood by him no matter what choice he made... even the choice to break up the Avengers to save Bucky.
