Mad respect to this man, had no idea he was doing such great work and making such a big impact on the world.
Well didn't know Nurks had this kinda swag talking... Lol he should be a guest in All The Smoke, make it happen Matt Barnes.
Rachel is letting herself go
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
JJ will get em first
Don't be racist.
Nurk is a class act. What he is doing in Bosnia is gigantic. I root for him. Before his injuries I thought Portland had a good squad top 4 in the west I just hope he can come back and play great.
Class act 😂🤦♂️
wish this guy could stay healthy, he truly puts Portland over the edge when he's in the lineup
He does for the blazers. people were calling him trash for his start in the year but it’s because he’s been dealing with depression from his grandmother. He wasn’t there mentally but now he’s seems better. Before nurks grandmother passed away in the bubble he was putting up 18 ppg, 11 rpg, 4 apg, and 3.0 BPG, he’s gonna be back and better and his dpoy defense will come back. It all takes time
Puts them over the edge of who 😂 ?
@@HoopsMegaCentral You know he was hurt when Portland played the Warriors in the WCF, right?
@@09lowkey they got swept by the warriors didn’t even win one game if they had nurkic they would still not have had chance to win that series 😭 so don’t even start
@@HoopsMegaCentral I see, so you're a Casual... You might want to brush your teeth...
His dad is no nonsense AF.
Yeah. He look like ain't wit the BS
This is the beauty of media. You really can’t tell by looking at him, but this dude is kind, generous, and clearly extremely aware. What a guy. Go Blazers!
“beauty of media” idk if I’d say that lol
Bosnia loves you Jusuf,you are our treassure,he has such a good heart,he always give donations to poor families and kids,food money,donate to hospitals buying houses to poor families,helping sick kids,he is such a good guy,we bosnians are so proud of you 👍💪🇧🇦🇺🇸❤️
World have no idea how many talents like Nurkic we have in Bosnia. Give those Boys just a chance and they'll rock the NBA
Do they have academies or anything like that in Bosnia? Do the schools teach basketball or is there places to train?
@@mbiggey1982 the government abd country does little to fund sports, when the bosnia national team had to travel to eurobasket games, it was on budget airlines as opposed to bus coaches, much thanks to Nurkic they could even go.
It’s not a matter of “oh we are too poor, there is no ressources”, it’s a matter of wrong allocation of ressources. Much of the money goes in the pockets of the responsible ministers/public servants/politicians/etc., so corruption = bad sports sector.
Imagine bringing home bad grades to that dude 😬
You obviously grew up soft
I’m letting those grades fly outta the bus window
Well those grades didn't brought him into the NBA.
This guy is an absolute UNIT. Bosnia rolls into war with a Papa Nurk instead of a tank
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
Yep he's a UNIT alright!
@@King-xj5bv Shaddup ! Gerrar Here Man Sheet !
@@King-xj5bv This is RUclips you dunce !
You think god is on RUclips ? 🤣
You can tell his Dad don't play....at all.
His dad is a old man now who knows what he looked like when he was younger
@@ghostghost8544 yup he must have been a beast
us slavs dont play on foenem
You can just tell from the look on his face, scary dude.

Reminds me of Andre the Giant who had a farm and lots of animals. Nurk is probably in a better position than Andre who said he liked animals because they weren't scared and judgmental of him like humans were.

you can tell Jusuf been going to the BBQ with Dame for years now LOL.
He sound like he's from the Bay
Nurkic is a true hero of the people...and big cats! 💪🔥🏀

He’s super dope if I had money like would definitely do the same all about the kids !!

Even though Nurk is huge, to me he's still the kid of the team while Dame & CJ are the adults. He's only 26 year old lol.
Sabonis is better and younger
he's only 26 still very young
@@swaggydesh4997 Nurk was playing better before the injury. But yeah sabonis is better right now.
U can tell nurk kicked it with brothers 👌🏾
Kakva ljudina! Браво момче!
Ako smo nekad bili
jedna ljubav, duša jedna
zar je važno da l’ se peva ili pjeva
kad umirem što te nema.
Klutch Sports will sign little bro
He already has check out his sweatshirt
If Nurkic can stay healthy the blazers can make a good playoff run
Second round exit
At best
We heard this how many years from blazers front court? Man even Greg oden 😂😂😂
His defense is trash for a big man. He can score but he can't defend well on the other end of the court. That's why AD was eating him alive during the playoffs.
@@jerbsherb4391 AD ate everyone alive in the playoffs
Uhhhhhh no.
This man is a legend
Hvala Nurk!
Nurk a underrated big man in the west
Great interview!
Glad ESPN is showing this
Much respect. Imagine getting that package and knowing it came from a kid that made it out and didn't forget..
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
I can still hear the snap in his leg when it happened .. good to see him doing well
We love you Nurkic, Happy you’re in Portland
Shout out to Nurk 🤜🏾
Dude that’s pretty sick his dad rlly helped him randomly af 😂
I see nurkic spent a lot of time around dame huh lol the swag is real
Nurk looking cool AF😎
I ain’t go lie I love this piece 🤚🙏
Yea you know not to mess with his pops. Ill keep at eye out for the lil bro
Watch Rachel’s face when ppl cuss on the show, she is so amused! LOL
Jusuf Nurkić 🇧🇦⚜️
Nurk is a legend
Portland Trailblazers legend Jusuf Nurkic
Nurk is a great man.
Awesome 4 him
Thought that was Chet Hanks for a second
what a lad
Great guy
3:36 "Bigass Cop"

Looks a good guy. Would be good to get some of those bit cats to refuges where they can roam a bit though.
A real one .
His dad just breeds pure athletes
Nurk is awesome
Size 16 shoe at age 13!!!! He's gonna be a BIG dude
Nurk needs more tv time. He seems cool
That cancer movement sounds amazing wow
BOSNIAN BEAST! So cool he did that in Bosnian and Oregon. This guy is a top-3 Center in the NBA when he is on and healthy.
Muggsy bogues was 5’3 and average 136 lbs. That means that Hariz Nurkič is about 1 and a half Muggsys tall and just under 3 muggsys in weight
BOSNIAN PAINT BEAST ! 🦁
i always heard that story on 2k bro i swear😂😭
If only some people acted and shared the same generosity for their OWN people. Smfh.
Sve super, samo jare treba platiti
Who else had no idea they'd enjoy this funny "azz" interview
Csnt find it brother on RUclips anywhere
الحمد لله
If my dad was 7'0 tall & weighted 400 lbs I would be scared of him
my is only 6'3, 265 pounds. I'm little bit scared lol
If your dad is Bosnian, you're just automatically scared. Doesn't matter if he's tall or short lol 😂
@@dianarusnov292 “passionate temper”, lol
Did anyone notice the girl sitting next to him 😂😂 his dad is a big dude tho 💪🏽
Changed the 400 pound dad title😂

Love you Nurkic 😍😍
BOSNIA REPRESENT ! Love it
Bro start playing you been on my bench this whole time in fantasy I need you to turn up
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Video about Nurkic.. -highlights of CJ and Dame-
Dude whats that line at the end of the sentence. The FBI are watching you 👀
About 2 years later after this interview he got hit by Draymond Green and said " the brother needs help."
He's a cutie
he will be a knicks
his dad had 2 partners.... his left and right arm
This man is CUTE and charitable! Heeyyyy Nurk 😜
This is why I will never understand how someone can say, “go back to your country” or “why did you come to the US?”
Dont forget Nurk start playing basketball at 15 yrs
If Portland was fully healthy they can probably go far, imo🤷♂️🤣😭🤔
Nahhhhhh 😂
Second round exit at best
@@michaelosakwe4129 If they go against a Fully healthy Lakers, or Jazz squad, first then they got no shot🤷♂️
They'd have to have the right bracket to make to the WCF. Realistically
Nurkic would have to play like how he did before his broken leg and the defense would have to get better for that to happen
3:18 I cant help but notice the attitude. She's either asking to switch seats because pops is taking up space or the Nuggets are losing to the Blazers...or....both. lol!!
Gotdam put his dad in the line up shore up that back court. Lets see how WCF go if his dad beats up the 1st 2nd and 3rd string.
My 10 lb. House cat eats so much I cant even imagine how much it costs to run a wildcat sanctuary just in the food. Haha.
Me coming here after he just got windmill slapped by Draymond: rooting for our big teddy bear to drop 30 on them next game
My dude built like zangief
Hate the Blazers, but can't hate on this!
Why hate the Blazers? seems like a lot of people dislike them for some reason.
Does Nurk know Joe Exotic? LOL
nurkic is also a klutch sports talent?
Yes sir
When he adds a J he can be an all-star!
Bosnian Pride 🇧🇦
Cal Ripken Sr., now **that** was a legendary dad!
Big Cat --- 7' 400lb Father ...
❤ & ✊
I wish American kids cared like this.
Still injured?
i liked watching this guy a couple years ago, before he had some kinda brutal leg injury...i don't think he's really been back in full force since then...
size 16 shoes on a 16 year old. Lmfao at that rate he will beat Shaqs shoe size eventually.
He said his brother is 13 which is even more impressive haha
Wish the nuggets didn’t trade him. Good dude.
Not to be a buzz kill but I hope it's a legit sanctuary not a tiger king type of place
1:50 Uh oh, he's about to get assassinated by Bosnian government officials 😂😂😂
@Picka Timaterina thats the point.
e to je bošnjo...svaka čast
Parang tatay ng jokic brothers haha
🇧🇦
For people who complain about little things here in the US, count your blessings because you could have been born in countries like Bosnia.
@Masivni Nurk just showed you how bad it is. Just because it's not as bad as Africa doesn't mean you shouldn't help someone that's struggling.
@Masivni so it’s only bad if it’s Africa? Lmao u sound mad ignorant ,”NoT lIkE iTs AFricuh “ 20 years ago people were getting burned for being Muslim
Bosnia, Africa, Philippines etc we in the U.S. got it sooooo good. We just don't know. We really dont
@Masivni gtfoh with that mindset, I don't wanna ever hear you complaining. Cause there's always something worse
@El Nino Brown religion was mixed in.
