Draymond Green put a stamp on his beef with Jusuf Nurkic.
After the Warriors were eliminated in the NBA Play-In Tournament by the Sacramento Kings, Nurkic took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to rant, thinking he cooked green:
However, with Nurkic's Phoenix Suns being swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs on Sunday, Green was able to exact revenge to end their rivalry in the 2023-24 NBA season, allowing the now-eliminated center to hear about it on The latest episode of the Draymond Green Show.
“Unfortunately, that's it, guys,” Green said. “Yes, that's it, guys.
“Yes, you have to be very careful when you are not successful and try to criticize others when you are not playing a big enough role in your team's success. [and] When you can't really influence the outcome of the game. For example, you can get 20 rebounds and lose a game. When you don't really affect the outcome of the match, it's very difficult to throw punches at people because you got hit there, and you can't affect the final outcome.
“Then yes. The big gentleman bowed.
Green beef with Nurkic stems from December, when the warrior rang the sun bell.
Green was suspended indefinitely from the NBA front office, sidelining him for 12 games, and the two will exchange words across social media and on the court for the remainder of the season.
In particular, Nurkic said, “This brother needs help,” which Green later described as “cowardly.”
However, Green has undoubtedly won his feud with the Suns big man. And in case Green needed a backup — which he didn't — the entire Dub Nation teamed up with NBA Twitter to clown Nurkić about the “That's All You Guys” meme from Looney Tunes.
Green and Nurkic could certainly watch the playoffs from Cancun.
However, the difference between them is that Green has four NBA championships with Golden State under his belt, while Nurkic now holds the worst playoff winning percentage (.150) in NBA history after falling to 3-17.
And yes, Green noted that too in an Instagram post.
When Green says “That's it, guys,” he means it.
