Jusuf Nurkic is seriously not afraid nor intimidated by anyone. It doesn’t matter if it’s DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol, or even LeBron James, he doesn’t bat an eye at any of them. He just plays his game, and if he does it well, he’ll trade a few words with his match-up, or maybe just stare him down, like he does here with LeBron.
Is it the safest, smartest idea to piss off the King? Absolutely not. But Nurkic has proved, time and again, he’s not scared to poke the bear a little bit.
