The Ongoing Rivalry: Draymond Green Fires Back at Jusuf Nurkic
California, USA – The feud between NBA stars Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic rages on, even after both their seasons have come to an end.
Clash of the Titans
The animosity between the two began earlier this year when Green struck Nurkic in the face with his arm during a game. The incident led to Green’s indefinite suspension, marking the culmination of several dangerous altercations involving him.
Twitter Tussle
Following the Warriors’ playoff exit, Nurkic took to Twitter (now known as X) to post a “That’s all folks” GIF from “Looney Tunes.” This jab didn’t sit well with Green, who had been waiting for his chance to reclaim the upper hand.
Green’s Revenge
After the Suns, Nurkic’s current team, were swept in the first round by the Timberwolves, Green couldn’t resist a little payback.
” Ironically, the tweet that may have spoiled fastest was from the ‘Big Softie,'” Green taunted on his podcast. “That tweet spoiled so fast. Like, that’s spoiled milk. Yeah, that is all, folks.”
Nurkic’s Lack of Impact
Green further slammed Nurkic, questioning his contribution to his team’s success.
“You gotta be careful when you’re not successful, and you try to take jabs at people,” Green said. “When you can’t really affect the outcome of the game… it’s really tough to take jabs at people because you gotta jab, and then you can’t affect what your end result is.”
Statistical Dig
Not content with verbal jabs, Green shared a statistic on Instagram revealing that Nurkic’s playoff winning percentage of .150 was the lowest ever.
“Hope that brother gets the help he needs,” Green wrote.
Nurkic’s Response
Nurkic has not publicly responded to Green’s recent remarks, but his playoff performance leaves little room for argument. He averaged a modest 7.4 points and 7.6 rebounds in the series against the Warriors.
The Battle Continues
While the regular season may be over, the feud between Green and Nurkic is far from settled. Green’s relentless jabs and Nurkic’s silence have only served to fuel the competition between these two fierce rivals. As the NBA offseason unfolds, fans can expect more drama to come in this captivating battle.
