Draymond Green Claims Victory in Feud with Jusuf Nurkić

In a heated confrontation that unfolded on and off the court, Draymond Green emerged as the victor in his ongoing feud with Jusuf Nurkić. The conflict began in December when Green's aggressive play led to a Flagrant 2 foul and subsequent ejection. This incident resulted in Green receiving an indefinite suspension, sidelining him for 12 games.
Throughout the remainder of the season, Green and Nurkić exchanged verbal jabs both on social media and during their encounters on the court. Nurkić notably commented that Green "needs help," to which Green later referred to him as a "coward."
However, Green proved to have the upper hand in their feud. In a display of solidarity, both the Dub Nation and NBA Twitter collaborated to mock Nurkić by sharing a "That's all, folks," Looney Tunes gif. Although Green did not require backup, this collective support emphasized his dominance over Nurkić.
While both Green and Nurkić may find themselves watching the playoffs from Cancún, the disparity between them is apparent. Green boasts an impressive record, having secured four NBA Championships with the Golden State Warriors. On the other hand, Nurkić now holds the unwanted title of the worst playoff win percentage in NBA history, standing at a mere .150 after falling to 3-17.
Unsurprisingly, Green made note of Nurkić's unfortunate record by sharing an Instagram story post. With his signature phrase, "That's all, folks," Green made it clear that he has emerged triumphant in the feud with the Suns' big man.
As the NBA playoffs continue, Green can revel in his accomplishments with Golden State, while Nurkić faces the reality of his playoff struggles. The rivalry may have ended, but the outcome is crystal clear – Draymond Green came out on top.
