Draymond Green once again took aim at Suns big man Jusuf Nurkic for his recent behavior on the court.
Green and Nurkic’s feud, of course, dates back to when Draymond hit the center in the face and received a lengthy suspension from the league.
That’s when Nurkic’s infamous words came into play: “That brother needs help. … I’m just out there trying to play basketball and they’re swinging out there. I think we see that a lot.” I hope everything he gets in life will be better.
Since then, the two have repeatedly attacked each other on social media.
Nurkic was suspended last December after a huge on-court scuffle with the Mavericks, and now that it’s the new year, Draymond figured it was time to revisit the old injury and prank Nurkic in the process. .
“They were going to play us the next day, and he got into an argument with us all of a sudden, and then he just wavered,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. “I hope this brother got the help he needed because out of nowhere, like something went wrong in his life. Like, he must have gone through a really hard time in his life to get back to that. Or maybe he didn’t want to play against the team he was playing the next day, which was probably a thought. I was a little surprised to see him swing like that, but then get pushed to the ground and then screamed and grabbed his face. , I was really shocked. You can’t swing on a swing and be pushed to the ground and then cover your face and cry.
“I’m a little surprised, but that brother needs some help. I hope he gets the help he needs. You can’t just attack people.
He went on to point out that Nurkic missed the Suns’ first two games of the season against the Warriors and coined the term “Dray Montes” – when players avoid facing him during games.
