Draymond Green has praised his chemistry with Jusuf Nurkic.
After the Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament, Nurkic told X (formerly Twitter) that he thought he was the one who cooked Green.
However, as Nurkic's Phoenix Suns were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA Playoffs on Sunday, Green could get some revenge and end the rivalry for the 2023-24 NBA season, losing center field. heard of the victory. The latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show.”
“Unfortunately, folks, that's it,” Green said. “Yeah, that’s it, guys.
“Yeah, you have to be really careful when you try to attack people when you're not having a lot of success or you're not playing a big enough role in the team's success.” [and] If you can't really influence the outcome of the game. For example, you can get 20 rebounds and still lose the game. It's really hard to take jabs at people because if you're not actually affecting the outcome of the game, then now that the jab is in, you can't affect the final outcome.
“So, yes. The big softy bowed.”
Green and Nurkic's relationship dates back to December, when the Warriors rang the bell for the Suns.
Green was suspended indefinitely by NBA officials for 12 games, and the two sides will exchange words on social media and on the court for the remainder of the season.
Most notably, Nurkic said, “That brother needs help,” to which Green would later call him a “coward.”
Despite this, Green definitely won his feud with the Suns' big man. And just in case Green needed backup (which he didn't), everyone at Dub Nation teamed up with NBA Twitter to say, “That's it, guys” Nurkic over Looney Tunes GIFs. Turned into a clown.
Indeed, Green and Nurkic may both watch the playoffs unfold from Cancun.
But the difference between the two is that Green is a four-time NBA champion with Golden State, while Nurkic currently owns the worst playoff winning percentage (.150) in NBA history after falling to 3-17. It's about being there.
Plus, when Green says, “That's it guys,” he means it.
