Former Warriors Player Slams Jusuf Nurkic for Draymond Green Comments

The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns continue to go back and forth

Following Saturday night's game vs. the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic slammed Draymond Green to the media, saying, "It's sad. He didn't learn anything. Just a matter of time, he's going to hit somebody else again. I take back everything I said. He don't deserve a chance."

Green unleashed on Nurkic during a recent podcast episode, and has the support of his former teammate Demarcus Cousins. During an episode of The Bully Ball show, Cousins said, "You can't on one hand want to be a part of the nonsense and part of the circus, kind of nitpick and act like you're one of those guys, and then once you kind of get outplayed, then you run to the principal's office, and, 'Well, he's not the same, and he'll never change.' That's wack."

Cousins made a similar point to the one Green made on his podcast, as the Warriors forward called Nurkic out for trying to bait him all game, and then running to the media after the game.

Green and the Warriors got the better of Nurkic and the Suns in this game, and so far Green has gotten the better of Nurkic in the aftermath as well. With the support of his former teammate, Green and others believe Nurkic cannot have it both ways as someone who tried baiting Green, and also went to the media about him.
