Jusuf Nurkic 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/20/2018)

I’ve ragged heavily on Jusuf Nurkic in the past for being out-of-control with his scoring moves and for taking ill-advised shots. I’m not going to backtrack and say that he wasn’t doing those things in past games, because he definitely was, but I will acknowledge that Nurkic was under control and composed in this game,…

Jusuf Nurkic 27 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2018)

As is often the case with Jusuf Nurkic’s high-scoring performances, this one features a lot of wild shots at the rim which happen to go in. Does he even bother locating the rim before throwing the ball up in its general vicinity? This video also features a lot of ragdoll physics as he uses his…

Jusuf Nurkic 24 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Is it possible to set screens that are… too good? Too bone-crushing? Yes! Jusuf Nurkic had a whole bunch of turnovers tonight, too many I would say, but some of them were unfairly handed out because of the sternum-shattering nature of his screens. Those were legit screens, but because Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is a little baby,…

Jusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)

The “Point Nurkic” experiment has seemingly ended for Jusuf Nurkic and the Trailblazers. It was fun for a while right after he got traded, helping to build that Nurkic vs. Jokic storyline, but I think Portland decided they wanted the ball in Lillard’s and McCollum’s hands. All the time. And that’s okay. Nurkic can pass,…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

Jusuf Nurkic sat in the back row of the team plane. The mood was subdued; they had just lost, and his teammates knew that this game had meant a lot to him. Occasionally one of them would glance back to where he was sitting by himself, see his stony glare, and quickly snap back to…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)

I’ve been spoiled. After a recent NBA altercation where an actual punch was thrown, this skirmish between Jusuf Nurkic and Victor Oladipo seemed kind of weak. No one got ejected, all that happened was that Nurkic said some words while getting in Oladipo’s face and then Oladipo pushed him away. Lame. I prefer my sports…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/12/2018)

Jusuf Nurkic vs. DeMarcus Cousins. Most intense center matchup in recorded (as opposed to unrecorded, frickin’ Wilt 100 points full highlights why do they not exist) NBA history? An especially enterprising entrepreneur would set up some sort of celebrity MMA match between the two and charge a ton of money for it on Pay-Per-View. They…

Jusuf Nurkic 23 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2018)

If Jusuf Nurkic was a deli meat, what kind of deli meat would he be? It’s a tough question. At first I was totally like “salami” because salami is a pretty good deli meat, but not the best one, kind of like how Nurkic is a pretty good player but not the best one. So…

Jusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2017)

I wonder how mad Tom Thibodeau was as he watched Karl-Anthony Towns get victimized again and again by the Damian Lillard- Jusuf Nurkic pick-and-roll for the first 30 minutes of the game. What good is being a defensive guru if your players can’t stop the most used play in basketball? The Blazers got away from…
