It’s been awhile since Jusuf Nurkic has seen extensive playing time for the Denver Nuggets, but since Kenneth Faried has been out dealing with a lower back strain, the big man from Bosnia has been showing up and showing out.

Last night, while the Nuggets eventually ended up falling to the East-leading Cavaliers, it was Nurkic who had the most memorable moment of the matchup.

Just take a look:

There are very few people in the world who have the cojones to stare down LeBron James like that, let alone a guy averaging seven points in 14 minutes per game. Nurkic, though, has proven that he plays no favorites; he’ll trash talk anyone, no matter how famous or talented they may be.

Like Kobe Bryant, for instance …

Keep doing you, Nurk!
