The NBA is famous for innovative celebrations during games. One of the player’s favorites is the “too small” celebration. It basically means saying that the defender is too short or small to guard them. Players love to do this after destroying the defense and scoring for the team.

NBA fans were excited to see such competitive behavior in a close game.

Nurkic being a physically bigger player than Green was called out by Green in the post-game interview. He said Nurkic needs to be careful if he is going to get the celebration exchanged just sometime later, with even Stephen Curry getting in on the act.
