Watch: Jusuf Nurkic gets ovation from Bosnian soccer crowd

We already know how beloved Jusuf Nurkic is in Rip City, and unsurprisingly, his native Bosnia loves him, too.

A video surfaced on twitter Wednesday of supporters attending a Bosnian National Team soccer match who break out into a chant supporting their homegrown NBA star.  Nurkic underwent surgery Tuesday to repair compound fractures in his tibia and fibula on his lower left leg, a devastating season-ending injury that could significantly alter the career trajectory of the 24-year-old.

Watch the crowd chant their support of the Bosnian Beast:
