A total of 4,374 players have played in an NBA game, but there probably isn't one single player on that list that had a more improbable path to the league than Jusuf Nurkic.  Growing up in Bosnia, basketball certainly wasn't the mainstream sport - it was soccer. But the kid that would eventually grow to be 6'11" didn't necessarily fit the bill for your traditional striker.  The first time Jusuf Nurkic was ever put on an NBA radar was from an article a Bosnian journalist wrote. And the article had absolutely nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with his 7'11" 400 pound father beating up 15 grown men.  Joe and Nolan take you through this CRAZY origin story, and compare it with some of the other wild ones the game has seen through the years.  ⏰ CHAPTERS ⏰ 0:00 Intro 1:29 Jusuf Nurkic's Backstory 5:00 The Hariz Nurkic Fight 8:00 How Jusuf Was Discovered 15:15 Giannis' Crazy Origin Story 20:15 Other Insane Origin Stories
