Randle just trash
Probably because the mid-range from the side is the worst shot in basketball lol
“That’s a bad shot”
Worse than a corner 3?
Did the same to AD once who was in the corner lining up a 3, Nurk just turned away and AD hit the side of the backboard
Nurk, and Kornet really making new defensive moves to bring us into the future of bball.
Nurk channeling his inner Samoa Joe. https://youtube.com/shorts/wuaHP-ek2VQ?si=4EGPlnvRTJF0OZ4G
Nurk may not be the best player, but he doesn’t skimp on the scouting reports
Nurk is something else lol.
This was horrible. Maybe he has intuition
picked his nose during the turnaround too lmao
Especially since Randle was actually effective and efficient yesterday. The cojones on this dude
I pick my nose at you
I fffart in your general direction
The bench reaction is absolutely hysterical
Did it with AD’s corner 3 last season as well lmao. We in trenches that time.
Exactly why I love Nurk
Better than the Kontest
This is some otherworldly power
Pure psychological warfare
What in the voodoo??
I mean, I don’t care how little respect you have for someone’s shot, he’s not positioning himself to grab a rebound or even move. What an idiot.
He’s like the anti-Curry. Him turning around after a shot guarantees a miss.
Well now I gotta know what happens if they both do it?
Cade Cunningham hits a shot, but it’s on the wrong basket.
Swaggy Nurk
Instead of shimmying, nurk should twerk after turning his back on the shooter?
If he does this I’m begging Pelinka to trade for him.
The Nurk Twerk?
anti-Curry
The Jordan Poole
aka Nick Young
Lugubrious Vandal
That’s so disrespectful. I love Nurk. lmao
It’s not so much disrespectful as lazy. He also does this to almost everyone. Even if he was predicting a miss from Randle it wasn’t like he hustled over to box out a Knick or grab the rebound. He didn’t even leak out for the hit ahead. If anything Nurk disrespects Suns fans more than he does Randle’s jumper.
It’s not so much disrespectful as lazy.
Funny cuz that’s what they say about AD on offense too.
who is he supposed to box out lol. the only Knick player is on the other side of the basket and Nurk had the entire side to himself for the rebound. he can’t control where the brick bounces
More disrespectful than that time his dad beat up 14 guys
I’m telling you this is a legitimate defensive strategy at the local YMCA (if you’re guarding a big that is). People get SO in their head. Bust your ass on defense to get a stop or two, tell them they’re ass, and watch them crumble after they miss an uncontested bunny. You’re coasting the rest of the game.
If you miss the first two shots, all the defender has to say is “aye, he wit us!/he on our team”
Confidence out the window after that.
See this wouldn’t work on me because I’d keep shooting that shit
But it would work on me because there’s a reason I miss those uncontested bunnies
Yes but would you make them? If not then it’s still a sound strat
See this wouldn’t work on me because I’d keep shooting that shit

I was on a (for me) hot streak at the gym over the summer, hit 3 in a row from the corner and then this asshole guarding me just dropped his hands and shrugged and I proceeded to airball like a bitch. It’s high-risk high-reward defense.
Andre Miller would often not run out on wide open shooters and instead turn around before they shot the ball to get ready for the rebound. He said it was because guys were used to shooting with a hand in their face but if you give them time to think they’d be more likely to miss it.
Love that. Another good one for the Y is the ‘Peter’ defense. If you’re late to contest a jumper you can lunge at their waistband region and 90% of the time it freaks people out and they shoot it short.
I’ll never, ever claim to be a good basketball player but I played with three different 1000 point scorers in high school so I could damn near write a thesis on pickup defense. With that being said, a DII power forward dropped damn near 50 on my head in a mens league game so my powers can only go so far…
This just unlocked a memory of playing on the high school team and I had this teammate that would shove his fingers up your ass when you tried to post him up. He even did it in actual games to the other team.
No he didn’t u/booty_sweat_juice. Someone does that, in practice or a game, and they’re getting their ass kicked. People don’t just let sexual assault slide.
Weird fan-fic though.
He still hoop? 👀
Didn’t Shane Battier use to throw punches (that never hit) at shooting players in an attempt to distract them?
I had a friend that I hooped with and so many games he would miss wide open shots and as soon as I went out to put a hand in his face he would splash it and find his rhythm out of nowhere
Jokes on you I’m too dumb to quit.
You’re absolutely right. I’m in a men’s rec league right now and if you notice a guy looks unconfident shooting or all he’s doing is driving, leave his ass alone on the perimeter
Also known as the MJ vs Muggsy Bogues Strategy.
I did this in intermurals in college.
I was lucky I had bigger friends to back me up, because it’s not always well received.
Nurkić is from Bosnia and I am from Bosnia We know how to make people angry and disrespectful and we(Bosniaks) are intelligent
He doesn’t disrespect JUST the jumper… he also knows that Randle will not even try to look for the rebound… he just turns around without checking if he needs to box out XD.
looks like Mitch grabbed it as always. Trick to having the league leader in offensive boards is to pair him up with Jules
This was ice cold lmao
That was disrespectful as fuck but also Randle was complete and utter garbage until the 3rd quarter
Randle looked unstoppable in the 3rd atleast
But RJ Barrett was SO bad. I was so happy when the ball would come to him
You call it disrespect. As a blazers fan I can tell you that I’ve seen this move before and it’s motivated by nothing more than laziness
Cue the Julius Randle summer training montage where he’s draining all sorts of jumpers from all over the court and all fans believing he’s a way better player now
Not contesting a three is one thing, but not contesting a middy is a whole different level of disrespect.
Didn’t even attempt a rebound. Dude was so upset that Randle thought he would make a 7ft shot he just gave up on life for a bit
Knows Randle won’t give any effort to follow the miss either, so he didn’t even attempt a boxout
Disrespecting the best player the Lakers have had since Shaq smh
uhhhh, we forgetting someone?
Best American-born* player the Lakers have had since Shaq, sorry Pau
Especially since Randle was actually effective and efficient yesterday. The cojones on this dude
*immaturity?
*shit priorities?
People aren’t understanding this correctly. This wasn’t disrespect.
This was Nurk playing defense!
As a Warriors fan, I can tell you this is not even close to the level of disrespect Dray got and deserved, players didn’t even closeout on him, just stare at him holding the ball from miles away.
He hit the Samoa Joe walkaway
Randle had a 141 2/3 percent chance of missing that shot
HES FAT
Mark Hunt walk off
Future world champ
Lmao Julius is never a threat
He had 28 points last night. What is this sub on 😂
Ignorant
Bro hes shooting 38% and 24% from 3. He thinks hes the #1 for the Knicks🤣 He pouted cuz Jalen Brunson took the shot.
He also averaged 25 last year😂😂. People are so quick to forget. I think he’ll be back soon bud
Yeah his numbers were there but not when it’s important. Got murked with a one legged jimmy. Then throws a bitch fit and blames his teammates smh Brunson a dawg tho
Lolol…spoken like someone who watches sports center all day. Your a bulls fan lmaoooooo
