Usually, NBA rivalries feature two teams, or at least two stars.
That’s not the case with the latest feud.
Phoenix Suns’ big man Jusuf Nurkic continues to try to troll Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, but he’s not finding much success.
Now, the Bosnian center shared a clip of Cillian Murphy on Peaky Blinders to mock Green and call him soft after he fell hard to the hardwood following an elbow by Ivica Zubac.

This is his latest attempt to get in Green’s head after the Warriors beat the Suns a couple of games ago.
This feud dates back to earlier in the season.
Green was suspended indefinitely for inadvertently punching Nurkic.
Nurkic stated that he ‘hoped that Green get the help he needed.’
Then, in their rematch, he tried to get in his head by posting him up and doing a ‘too small’ celebration, which Green didn’t appreciate.
The former Defensive Player of the Year went right back at him, scored on him, and repeated the celebration.
The Warriors won, and Nurkic came out rather salty after the loss, stating that Green didn’t deserve another chance because he clearly hadn’t learned anything.
Green clapped back at him before Nurkic tried to make fun of him on Twitter, with the former responding by calling him a softy.
Truth be told, Nurkic had every single chance to say all those things to Green’s face, but he chose not to.
Also, he got outplayed by a smaller player in his own territory, with even Stephen Curry guarding him in the post.
Perhaps he should let his game do the talking instead.
