From Nurkic.com

We at Official Jusuf Nurkic’s Fan Base and all who love Jusuf are very satisfied with his latest performances, but what exactly does the world know about Jusuf Nurkic? Not much, I can assure you all. That is why we decided to exclusively give you a little-known story about Jusuf Nurkic. Actually, it is more about his father and how did Jusuf Nurkic start to train basketball at the first place.

Jusuf Nurkic’s dad is a policeman in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. One day a Bosnian sports agent Enes Trnovcevic was reading a newspaper where he read: “Bosnian policeman, Hariz Nurkic has beaten 14 people in a fight.” He knew what to do instantly! Next day he went to Tuzla and met with Nurkic’s father. The only thing he asked him was: “Do you have a son?” Jusuf Nurkic was at that time a 14 years old boy and never trained basketball. Enes Trnovcevic took him to Slovenia and gave him an opportunity he accepted and used.

Yes, it is true, in some fight my father has beaten 14 people. My agent Enes found out about this and here I am.” ~ said Jusuf Nurkic for one Bosnian internet portal.
We all know that Jusuf Nurkic is big, but his father is much bigger than him He is 7′ with 400 pounds! No wonder he isn’t afraid of anyone!

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
rondo barely played last year, and courtney lee, jerryd bayless, and jared sullinger had more unassisted makes. so what's the excuse now? he played in every game too. took the most shots, and couldn't create.

just look at tonight: did most of his damage with the 2nd unit. didn't do much of anything with the starters. made all but 1 shot uncontested. made none when he tried to put the ball on the floor.

His argument makes no sense

He had every opportunity to be the guy the past two years and didn't take it

He'd have a 20 point game then follow it up with a 4 point game... Never had two good games in a row. His defense is overrated, he has the ability but like everything with Jeff green, it's an effort thing. Can't create for himself or others, not a good rebounder at all.

Like I've said ten times, it's a good pickup for the Grizzlies, definitely an upgrade and a bargain considering what they gave up... But at the end of the day, if Jeff green is one of your 3 best players, you're not going anywhere in the NBA.

Jae Crowder is not as talented as Jeff Green but he Celtics have been better with him starting instead of green because crowder hustles, plays better more consistent defense, has a better basketball IQ, and although he's not the scorer green is, he gives a more consistent night to night effort.

Even factoring in Derozan's absence, I don't think they're as good as their record suggests.

Still shouldn't be having problems with a Pelicans team missing AD & Jrue. 76ers put it on the Pelicans without those 2 the other day. Raptors finally made a run here in the 3rd & should hold on, but Ajinca doing whatever he wanted earlier ain't a good look.

They need to find another big off their bench that plays inside & focuses on defense. Patterson is a strech 4, Chuck Hayes doesn't play, & Hansbourgh is a hustle guy.
