NBA players know they've made it when they get name checked in a song. Or in Blazers big man Jusuf Nurkic‘s case, get an entire song devoted to you.
Nurkic has been just sensational since getting traded to the Trail Blazers right before the NBA's trade deadline in February. He is averaging a double-double with 15.2 points and 10.4 rebounds and more importantly, Nurkic has been vital to Portland's push to make the playoffs. The Blazers are now eighth in the West and that's in large part because of Nurkic.
Immensely proud of their countryman's performance with the Blazers, the Bosnian band Dubioza kolektiv created a catchy song that pays homage to Nurkic. The song is appropriately entitled “Nurk Fever.”
Here are the lyrics for the song, so you can sing along at home or in the car:
He came from Bosnia from Wild Wild East,
He's got the game we call him Bosnian Beast.
He can assist, he can score in the box, he's amazing.
Nurk is on fire, Nurk is TRAILBLAZING.
He's in the zone, can't lock him down,
Here comes the trouble, another triple-double.
Here goes a flush, savage slam dunk.
Rebound with the sound, of this Balkan funk.
BOSNIAN BEAST. FROM THE WILD WILD EAST.
BOSNIAN BEAST. FROM THE WILD WILD EAST.
BOSNIAN BEAST. FROM THE WILD WILD EAST.
BOSNIAN BEAST. FROM THE WILD WILD EAST.
NURK FEVER. NURK FEVER.
While “Nurk Fever” likely won't be the jam of the summer, it may be one of the best songs strictly about an NBA player of all-time.
