Phoenix Suns big man Jusuf Nurkic has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Despite being a physical specimen, Nurkic wasn’t able to keep up with Draymond Green.
Green went at him multiple times during their last encounter, hitting him with a ‘too small’ celebration after Nurkic tried to get in his head earlier in the game.
Then, following the loss, the center stated that he wanted to take back what he said about him hoping that Green would get the help he needed after his suspension.
That’s why former Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman didn’t mince his words against the Suns’ big.
Talking on Undisputed, Sherman called Nurkic a ‘softy,’ wondering why on Earth he would go on record to say that he would take those things back.
“None of them have respect for you, you’re considered a softy in this league,” Sherman said.

Sherman stated that Klay Thompson also slapped his hand during the game and that Stephen Curry actually guarded him in the post, adding that he’s just too big to be hit with those kinds of ‘too small’ celebrations.
Nurkic had a chance to make a statement on the court, yet he didn’t even talk.
He tried to mock Green, and then Green went back at him and put up 15 points on him.
Next time, he might want to have his game do all the talking for him, but this definitely wasn’t a good look for the seven-footer.
