Diving into the Portland Trail Blazers Roster: Jusuf Nurkic

When the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Sacramento Kings on New Years Day, 113-108, Jusuf Nurkic became the first player in NBA history to have five blocks and five steals, while also recording 20 points and 20 rebounds. He finished that game with 24 points, 23 rebounds, seven assists, and those five steals and five blocks.

Let that sink in.. think about all of the great players in the league that never achieved that goal. Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O’Neal, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and even LeBron James have not achieved what Nurkic did.
