Draymond Green has once more taken aim at Suns big man Jusuf Nurkic for his recent behavior on the court.
Of course, Green and Nurkic’s feud goes back to when Draymond struck the center in the face and received a lengthy ban by the league.
That is when Nurkic’s infamous comments came into play: “That brother needs help. …I’m just out there trying to play basketball and they’re out there swinging. I think we saw that often. I hope whatever he got in his life it gets better.”
The pair have exchanged several jabs back and forth on social media since then.
Nurkic was suspended in December after a big scuffle on the court against the Mavs and since it’s a new year, Draymond decided it must have been time to rehash old wounds and troll Nurkic in the process.
“They were about to play us the next day, and he just out of nowhere picked an argument and then swung,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. “And I hope the brother got the help he needs, because out of nowhere, like something’s wrong in life. Like, he must be going through a really hard time in life to go back and swing like that. Or possibly, maybe he didn’t want to play against the team he was going to play the next day. That could be a thought. It was just a little surprising to see him swing like that, but then to get pushed on the ground and thens tart whining about it and grabbing his face, I was really shocked. You can’t swing and then get pushed on the ground and then grab your face and cry about it.
“I was a little surprised, but that brother needs some help. And I hope he gets the help that he needs. You can’t just be swinging on people.”
He went on to point out that Nurkic has missed the Suns first two games against the Warriors this season and coined the term “Draymonditis,” – when players avoid facing him in a game.
