The last goat? Nurk is the ONLY GOAT over there.
Well, son, after a certain age....
Yeah, they ain’t getting out of that group unless Nurk plays out of his mind (even then probably not).
It's not "Americans", it's small market fans who've been hurt over and over again. I voted "yes", but I completely understand the "no" voters.
He was already the heaviest guy on the court usually by a lot, but who needs added agility and less stress on their joints? Dude needs to put down the knife and fork and focus on dropping 30... he'd be much more of a beast at 260
maybe he just prefers (possibly chauncey billups too) to be heavier as it benefits his game if were gonna use him down low (bully ball) as we did last seasonI'm actually good with him playing. He posted this picture yesterday on facebook and he looked a littlefatZion'ish to me. Maybe playing will get him in better shape.
I went back and looked at that picture again. He doesn't look overweight to me. I think with so many of these extremely thin centers like Chetster & Wembanyama , we tend to think Nurk is too big. But he's matured. If anything, those red wood legs give him a super solid base. If the refs allow Nurk to utilize his size, the way they allowed Shaq to utilize his, it could be a real plus. Especially against these slim jims.
I hope Nurk is able to play against Wembanyama in the Euro tourney this summer. I'd like to see how they match up. I have a feeling that Vic will make Nurk look silly. Nurk might be able to bully him down low offensively, but I think Wembanyama's length and Nurk's general passiveness at the rim will prevent him from taking much advantage of his strength/bulk.
