He will never get hot headed enough to get ejected himself, but he also won't back down and loves a bit of rough and tumble under the basket.
He's already gotten Draymond suspended indefinitely and now it's Grant Williams turn to get tossed.
Williams little b- ass bounced right off Nurk like a rubber ball
.
But yeah man Nurk loves being on this team and he's got his teammates backs. Breath of fresh air.

Grant Williams just got Nurked.
Yeah and breath of fresh air indeed. Sure beats that previous guy crying about his touches.

Nurkic had his number and got him ejected in this one. Noice.

Jusuf Nurkic FG% by month:
October: 41.9
November: 47.9
December: 49.0
January: 58.1
He's finally up over 50% on the season! Dominurkic is happening.

Nurk certainly has his faults but I enjoy having the Bosnian Beast on the team.

im really sad that he broke his leg when he was becoming an all-star calibre player
he was 24 or 25 years old at the time, legit two-way player and then he landed on the opponents foot...
he was elite rim protector and deadly in the pnr, but the injuries, especially leg break took the quickness out of his legs
however, to be able to make a comeback after such injury and still be a starter on an nba team is something

Rebounding, shooting, passing, toughness. I think he's going to surprise Suns fans. Hope he stays healthy.
Welcome to Phoenix.
Nothing has changed from my first reply to this thread. Love big Nurk. He cares so much too which is always nice to see as fans. Truly one of the most important pieces on the team.

Sometimes it feels like he's the most important piece on offense which is weird having three 50M offensive stars. Without Nurk our offense becomes a highly predictable ISO ball. Record without him is 0-4 based on what someone wrote recently, which also shows how important he's been for this team.

Yeah Nurk is a 'foxhole' kind of guy. He battles out there and really seems to give a ****. Refreshing

He can be helpful but let's be honest they have shown they have no problem doing iso all day even when he's playing lol

Quit trying to stir up sh- that ain't there chief. He's telling you he's buying in even if he isn't used to the role he was asked to play.
He's been the consummate professional, teammate, and sometimes enforcer when goons are messing with the Big 3. They love him and so do most of the fans - with exception of the fanatical Ayton Truthers.
While we are at it - at least dude ain't giving himself corny ass nicknames that he doesn't live up to and isn't an career underachieving video game obsessed pothead.

Yeah, I remember Zach Lowe saying when he got traded that he was curious if he'd be happy with his usage, which is definitely the lowest in his career. His shots are tied for the lowest with the year he came back from the bad injury...at least since 2016 when he played half the year in Denver behind Jokic.
But someone will be unhappy. I think Beal is the one guy who seems to accept more or fewer shots (which is nice given he has always been the #1 in WAS), but KD, Book, Gordon and Nurkic definitely want theirs.
But yeah, he's definitely being passive agressive with the second comment, particularly the last part.
