Jusuf Nurkic (thread)

[Trackjack]

With a healthy Nurk and everyone stay healthy with the team we got now I got us placing 3 this year.

Can someone buy me this shirt? Denny? Sly? Tunchi?

This guy will be 23 at the start of the season. Man. He looks downright skinny, and that handle looks legit for a guy his size.

I'm glad he is leaning out but I don't want him to lose too much of his size. That size/strength is part of what gave him such a distinct advantage over most of the rest of the bigs in the league.

If he really started at 280 as was reported, he'll be fine losing 15 or 20 pounds.

He didn't. Hasn't been 280 since he's been in the league. That was his pre draft weight.

Totally agreed. But he still walks on two trunks, even after his summer workouts.

I'm posting this video only to show his frame as it was back in May of 2016 when he played for Denver.

This is an interview that he did for a Bosnian TV station; their "Interview 20" segment. I have no idea what they are saying, and there are no captions for the video.



He looks REALLY skinny there.

The interviewer gave birth 9 months later. She sat too close to Nurk in the interview.

Indeed, it was a Holy Night in Bosnia as she lay in a hospital bed surrounded by Wise Men from the Trail Blazers. And an Angel appeared: "Arise! Glory be to Nurk in the highest, for upon this night a Savior is born! His name is.....Jim Nurkic!"

Love it but yellow should never be warn in the Rose Garden / MODA. Does it come in Blazers colors?

It's the bosnian flag...

 

[Minstrel]

Health is always the key, but man we could do some SERIOUS DAMAGE this year!

 

[BBert]

I know. It would be cool if there were a sea of them in the MODA to show support. Except that, I'm opposed to anything that resembles a Lakers color being worn in my house (granted it's a different shade of yellow). That's all. I think an actual Bosnian Flag would be ok though.

 

[Reep]

Yellow is fine. Purple is fine. However, the two shall never touch. (Reep's house rules--just ask my daughters).

I can no longer tell if Nurkic is training to be a basketball player or a Backstreet Boy.

hes attention whore

 

[PtldPlatypus]

hes attention whore

Seems like it. But as long as he helps the team win, he can attention whore all he wants.

 

[Mr. Robot]

truth be told, I like when players are active on social media

he should do whatever helps him (besides his game) to be more recognized in our fan base or all NBA related, like trash talk which he likes, or workouts like this, going on football games, making some videos which fans like, so Portland community would accept him as one of your own

seems to me he really embraced Rose City and wants to become cult hero there

 

[riverman]

Nurk to the Blazers will become like Dirk is to the Mavs....actually become a big part of Blazer culture and love Portland back.....we struck gold with this young beast

It is the Bosnian flag so it's alright with me.
Just saying, I have a birthday coming up.........

Stop him.

 

[Sinobas]

I'm wondering if Nurk will end up just being a Chris Kaman level player. Kaman was a pretty good center, but he's one of those borderline all-stars where you probably have to invest a ton of money in him to keep him, but he's not going to make you a contender.

Kaman put up really similar numbers in stretches as Nurk did for us last year. They have similar styles of play IMO.

 

[PDXFonz]

Nurk is a better player than Kaman

He's a 22 year old in 2017.
