“I can sleep for five years and you won’t have half my playoff wins!” Draymond Green flames Jusuf Nurkic again

Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic

The Golden State Warriors veteran defender Draymond Green has been involved in many rivalries with opposition players over the years. However, a new rivalry has emerged this season between Draymond Green and the Phoenix Suns‘ big man Jusuf Nurkic.

On “The Big Podcast” hosted by Shaquille O’Neal, Green claimed that Nurkic is nowhere near Green’s legacy as a player. He also claimed that Nurkic would not have even half of his NBA playoff wins if Green were to sleep for 5 years straight. This dig was quite harsh on Nurkic, especially after his side was knocked out early in the NBA playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

How are you going to tweet at us 'That's all folks!' and you've got the worst playoff record in NBA history," Green continued. "But you're going to tweet 'That's all folks!' I can go to sleep for five years, wake up and you still won't have half the playoff wins we've accumulated. How are you going to tweet that? But I need help?
Draymond Green said on The Big Podcast

Interestingly, Green’s recent trolling spree, along with his podcast jabs and social media actions, emphasizes the NBA’s interesting and often trivial dynamics. The heated rivalry between the two big men is expected to continue in the coming seasons.

On the contrary, Green targeting Nurkic was the most unwanted beef one could ask for in the NBA right now.

Nevertheless, for those who have not been following the Nurkic-Green conflict, this present conflict is not new. For months, the two renowned players have been having a heated exchange. It remains to be seen now how long this story escalates between the two players.
