Nurkic didn’t exactly praise the Sixers center’s dedication to basketball.
Bosnian big man Jusuf Nurkic did not have the nicest words for Joel Embiid after Blazers’ win over the 76ers.
Per Philly.com, “He’s tries to be more famous than a player,” he said of the social media star. “I respect him, though. He’s a good player. He’s not about tough.”
“He’s a skilled player, who is getting tired. it looks like,” Nurkic said. “When you are playing defense on him and you play off of him, and you are attacking, he gets tired more.”
