Jusuf Nurkić

With the game on the line, sometimes you need a player who mixes confidence, brute strength and competitiveness. Portland Trail Blazers big Jusuf Nurkić provides the example here, snagging a rebound in heavy traffic and then pivoting to hit a game-winning floater with four Boston Celtics players in his airspace. Nurkić was excellent in a 109-105 win on January 21, 2022, with 29 points, 17 rebounds and six assists.
