As a Warriors fan, I had so much hope for Jordan Poole. It’s sad to see him go down the drain so quickly.
I know right 😢
If getting punched in the face didn't wake this guy up...
I was soooo happy to see him go, I used to get so angry watching him “fumble” the ball almost every play…
Well the bag changed him....
Anyone with a brain cell about basketball would know this would happen after the trade. 0 defense, terrible shot selection that looks even worse without the spread out floor from the Warriors
As a warriors fan, watching this dude last season was a struggle. Every time he was on the floor his defense was a huge liability, and on offense, his shot selection was horrible. I’m glad he’s gone.
He gave away the lakers series im his biggest fan after that 😂
Lol, I recall you fanboys claiming he will carry Steph's torch, voting him for All Star and 6th man of the year, so... Stop It!
@@killemkilluahim and Klay gave the series away lmao
@@javigar133and then new information came to light and buddy ran out of the Finals run special sauce that the whole team was on, bozo
he was able to score alot because of they spacing the warriors had. When you have curry and thompson's spacing plus greens awareness, you can actually flourish. Now it really shows how he was relying heavily on the warriors
The 2023-2024 Shaqtin MVP goes to Washington Whoopsies' Jordan Fool 😂
Lol
@@And.One.Hoops1 Great vid, bro! Keep it up 💪💯
*Jordan Poop
Remember when GSW fans were trying to convince the world he was better than Herro...😭😭😭
@@Miles_305The difference is Herro is a natural pure shooter and Poole is not. I'd take Herro all day over that clown.
I'm a long suffering Bullets and now Wizards fan. I have seen some truly terrible basketball in my 45 years. The only reason I haven't been losing my shit about how terribly Poole is playing is, like you said, he's aiding the tank so much it seems like strategy. He is straight garbage and if/when we get a stud in the draft, Poole needs to be released immediately so none of his cooties get on our young talent.
Lol fair enough, at least they’re not living in the land of mediocrity like they have been for years
Your situation reminds me when, as a Celtics fan, I was deeply skeptical when we acquired Kyrie Irving. He may have performed better than your guy, and possess more talent, but his attitude felt like a cancer on the team. Although the young stars spoke respectfully about him at the time, the team culture seemed to suffer. I think they were overlooking his character flaws because they believed he would deliver them to the Promised Land. I was overjoyed to see him leave.
@@jimreadey4837 Respect is a two way street.
As a Bullets/Wizards fan of 38 years, you speak the truth
This guy's over rates
He BEEN CHECKED OUT! He literally said now that he has a ring AND the bag that his LEGACY is complete and its the first time hes been able to play without pressure. Its a wrap for Poole
bro really thought hes the GOAT after winning a ring and getting the bag 😂😂😂 kids on another level of arrogant
@@ikko4209he never thought he was the goat just accomplished what he wanted to and stopped working hard. No need to create stories child.
Don't think he ever cared about being "the GOAT" the dude won a ring being a pivotal reason for it and got a 140 mil $ contract. He's extremely rich and known as a champion. I think he just no longer cares and is fine with losing and taking bad plays. Even if he gets thrown of the NBA somehow he's already extremely rich and an NBA champion @@ikko4209
I don't think he knows he can continue to get an even bigger bag and more rings if he played like he did when Steph was out, hungry and passionate. His whole mentality is different
@@opfreakyou took the goat statement too literally bro. he’s basically saying the same thing as you
He just seemed so depressed. I feel bad for his teammates like Deni Avdija, who seem like they actually care and want to win, despite knowing that their team is in a rebuild.
Watching the Celtics play the wizards when he did that little turn around and slowly turn and shoot a 3 and got blocked by Pingus was hilarious.
He beat us for our chip a few years ago now we get our get back
I turned the game off💀
😂😂😂😂
hell yeah tingus pingus foo
Who the fuck is Tingus Pingus
I was one of those who predicted upper 20’s PPG. I think we all have something to learn about how playing the game with Steph Curry truly makes the game 10x easier.
Steph and Klay. Draws the whole offense that they have to just pray Poole won't make his shots. I could tell when he came off the bench his whole attitude changed.
@@ItIsYouAreNotYourSadly Klay doesnt draw anything nowadays
@@LeonEdwardsGoatonly draws bricks
Age old story unfortunately. The promising player gets paid and loses focus after. In all honesty the main reason he ended up being as good as he was is due to his work ethic plus veteran leadership and winning culture. Now he thinks he’s done enough to prove himself and is delusional thanks to his contract. It’s really unfortunate because if he stuck with what got him here and humbled himself we’d definitely see him thriving right now.
Exactly, well said
Poole is crazy, no way would I let Draymond run me off a team that was going to be mines in a few years. Poole said he wanted to move on from the situation and even told them not to suspend Draymond, he then went on to sign that contract and got paid knowing damn well he wasn't going to really move forward from what happened. He gave up on the entire team and then thought the Warriors were going to pick keeping him over Draymond and that's where he made the mistake of thinking that was going to happen. Poole told them it's him or me and they said..."have a nice life kid" and it wasn't just because of the punch, he was getting into it with members of the coaching staff as well. Poole let that situation take over him and he became unbearable to be around and it's unfortunate. He got that contract and checked out, that was not going to fly with an organization who is all about winning.
The problem with this narrative, is that no one actually knows if Poole "let the contract get to his head." No one close to him has said that, not even Draymond. He may have an ego, but the only evidence that his contract has changed him, is the appearance of him playing differently. Objectively, there could be countless explanations for that. Especially given that we only have one season of him playing that well. Stephen Curry had a whole shooting slump that was explained. That's just life.
@@T1OracleIggy said it
@@T1Oracleit’s not as if it’s a slump w good shots, his shot selection is terrible and he’s playing like he’s trying to compile an and1 mixtape lol
Getting shipped out of warriors Poole didn’t realise going to a rebuilding team requires discipline, maturity and great responsibility, he thought he can just go to this team and do whatever he wants and rn it doesn’t look good for him
He needs to change this pattern of behaviour asap before it’s late and cost him his career 😢
I've always thought of Poole this way. Never understood why anyone thought he was any good. Just feeling himself. 😂
He was playing amazing during the regular season of Warriors' last championship. GMs hoped that he could sustain that level but it appears his mindset is far from professionalism and growth.
I think the max contracts and the feeling that wizards was his team. Really changed his mindset for the worse.
@@ozberkozno. even then he was a bonehead. and i constantly told my Warriors fan friend that. he could score but was always mistake prone with the worst possible decisions.
This is what NBA wants. Highlights! Not what the game of basketball really is. And another thing, the rise analytics in the NBA made them overlook one very important aspect of a good player, attitude. Analytics takes away personality. Poole is a prime example of a player rewarded based on stats and not on personality and attitude.
Bro even analytics see how shit he is lol, only his unreasonable fanboys are defending him at this point.
You sure make a lot of assumptions of how analytics work. You're wrong about it all, but i doubt you'll change your mind because I'm sure schools put you in gifted classes right away and you had a lot of ivy league college letters
@@Michelle-kc8htwhat are you talking about?
Analytics for Poole were never good so
@@HELLO-mx6pt stop pretending to be confused bc you're actually a dummy that also doesn't understand analytics or how they are used
Remembered during pre-season he went off for 41 points vs Knicks and seeing reddit comments saying how GSW was crazy to dump him. The next game he 1-15 Shooting and scores 7 points.
Hes so hot and cold - And the regular season definetly exposing more of his cold side right now. Think hes definetly taking the title of the #1 worst contract in the NBA right now 😅
Doesn’t matter if he’s hot or cold. In fact, he’s worse when he’s hot, because the hotter he is, the stupider the shot he’ll try.
Ben simmons 😮
@@djdoc06 streaky shooter
The wizards wanted him for a reason Poole is a phenomenal tank commander.
@@eternalgamers10 lol, I wonder if they did that. Because they can’t get busted for it, because Poole is unaware that he’s tanking.
He’s slow he gave ice spice $500,000 dollars 😂😂😂
And didn't clap smh simpville😂😂😂
I used to respect how humble, hungry and down to earth he was and was a day one fan despite his rough rookie year. Bro has got alot of soul-searching to do.
I was a real fan of his too. That Championship year was a sight to see. Boy has it all gone down hill fast for him
I don't know about humble. He was talking shyt to superstars as a rookie.
I liked Poole before this but it really appears that he’s all flash no substance. Seemingly living for the highlight rather than achievement. He’s gotta reevaluate what he wants, who he is, his approach, and just get better. It’s a shame cause he’s clearly a talented player but he’s got issues everywhere.
It actually all materialized in post title "im getting the bag" nonsense video perfectly. You lucked out and got a title early on and now you think you are "him" and basically quit working to improve as you already are "the world champion". No need to get any better. And now he's just clowning it hard... He drank all of the koolaid and thought it was ambrosia...
@@timometsanoja9666 yap couldnt say it any better he secured his big bag and now he thinks he is some superstar tbh you see this with many players, so much that it makes me hope that the nba in future introduces some new rules to punish these players that earn so much money by playing utterly garbage and give/donate their cut of money to smth else. So that all these players get of their high horse and actualy play as they should
This would happen to draymon green as well if he leave gtw
You could see a lot of misplaced swagger in his rookie year, but the Ws kept him humble by bench time and G league stints. Once he got his bag, there was no containing that ego, so sad
Paid 500k for a date lol
The moment he said “my legacy is solidified with a ring” I knew where his head was. Cause WHAT LEGACY??
Right!! I was like "Wtf is he even talking about!!"🤦🏾♀I knew it was a wrap smh
fr i see why draymond punched him
@@t.sangrini im not gonna deny that he definitely was a big boost in the 22 playoffs but he got too big headed after that
@@nakkeshadudes a worst JR smith. No thought in their head just score but atleast JR had skills 😂
Right even Kendrick Perkins and James Wiseman have ring smh I could see if he won finals mvp😂😂😂
I think people need to learn to look past talent. In Poole's 2nd year on the Warriors, I said to my daughter, something is off with this player and if he (Poole) were on another team that he would be a headcase (a problem). The reason it took a little to while to rear its ugly head, is because he was on the Warriors around cerebral players and coaches that prevented the true Poole from showing himself. Now, I am not condoning what Draymond did, but I do believe Poole leaving the warriors had nothing to do with Draymond and everything to do with Poole's SWOLLEN EGO. He thought he could replace Steph, he felt he was better than Steph, he believed he should be allowed to have complete shooting freedom and it started to show. Which led to him making bad shots, bad passes and bad decisions. Then his bad attitude and toxic behavior began to trickle down to the younger players like Kuminga. Now he is on another team and as I said, he is a problem and not a good one. I was fine with Poole being traded and although the Warriors are struggling at the moment, I will take these struggles, slumps don't last forever but sometimes players never grow up.
Tbh I don’t condone the punch but if the context surrounding it is to be believed I understand it, it’s like the cocky freshman talking crazy to the seasoned starting senior, the ego has to get checked sometime. Now it’s “his team” so he’s going to do what he wants and let the ego balloon
@@smallcheddar3012 however…
There’s a rumor innuendo that the wizards are considering about trading Poole. If true, it’s Spencer dinwiddie on steroids 😂😂😂😂
Not the player in trade but the same situation.
@@SuperMarquis32 honestly depending on the team like one where JP would know he can’t be the best player like the Knicks or some, I’d take JP just to see if I can get the winning attitude back in him..when he buys in to team basketball, he locks tf in..then teams really focus on stopping him which leaves openings for everyone else..his mindset has to change on offense to being a playmaker first then a scorer cuz guys are always open cuz the defense respects his drive….his mindset needs to change on defense as well..if he can go from a D- to C+ that’s enough for a player like him🤷🏽♂️ I have faith JP can help any contender someday , look at JR Smith..im sure prime JR would be getting the same kind of money if he played today anyway🤷🏽♂️ 😂
@@goldenstate443 the problem I see is that Poole does have the talent and extremely huge upside. But, dude is lacking his mojo or forgot he lost it.
I lived in Santa Cruz his rookie year and seen him play a bunch live for the Santa Cruz Warriors G league. As a life long Dubs fan it sucks to see he is not taking advantage of this opportunity to be a certified bucket in Washington
It’s so funny how Kerr and GS noted how hard he works and Kerr said he hopes he takes the next jump because he’s done everything he can.
Got that bag and champ and stop caring, classic nba story
He did took the next step, just regressed after one great season
Tbf he did work hard . From the G league to being a 20point scorer in the nba all within 3 years. Takes very hard work.
This the same man that helped give Dub nation a championship . Disappointed to see how fake the warriors fans are to turn they back like he never did nothing for that Dynasty
As a Warriors fan, I am SO glad that they were able to get rid of Poole. If there was anything regretful about the entire situation, it's that Golden State had to take on Chris Paul, as part of the deal. I'm strongly believing that the team is going to have to figure out a way to package CP in a trade deal, get some height.
Yeah, cuz the Warriors are doing so well without him. 6 straight losses and not enough shooters. Oh they're doing great! 😅
I'm trying to remain hopeful for the Warriors, but after blowing an 18 point lead, l 'm about to give up. 😔
Bro they cannot trade Paul. Not that they wouldn’t want to but what team would take in his contract? Even if they did he only has like one year left. Now tell me how td are they gonna trade an aged PG who is about to retire?
I thought the Suns won that player switch of Beal/CP/Poole, but since Beal can't even stay on the court, I think it was basically a wash at this point...
It's an expiring contract just got to bide your time.
I knew their were red flags with this guy after watching him in the series with the Mavericks a couple of years ago. It was so annoying seeing him scream taunt in opponents' faces. The media labeling him at the third splash brother got to his head.
It was a cool addition though to the "Splash Brothers." Too bad it was just a kiddy pool.
The Warriors are struggling just like Poole
I loved how Poole worked hard and made it into the league after being demoted to the G League.
He can be a good scorer, what drove me crazy as a Dubs fan was watching all the turnovers from him dribbling. It wasn't like the defenders would force him to do crazy stuff. He just did it like he was on an And 1 Mix Tape Tour.
And he doesn't even try on defense. Say what you want about Curry, but he's actually a good defender. He's just undersized. Poole is undersized, gets lost, and doesn't try
He might hit bottom and then be successful in about 4 years
pooles defense def isnt great but to me it seems like he is improving on the defensive end somewhat movement wise, but his offense has taken a nosedive
he needs to create an identity within himself as a defensive master/stopper, like GP2nd. Until he decides that, he'll just be a gunner and he won't be an asset. Ball goes two ways.
@@sabo5849
Draymond was tired of Poole trying to be Steph Curry, so he decided to be Mike Tyson.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol! Exactly.
Honestly closer to Klay. Since Klay has come back he’s been a shot chucking ego maniac that is a cone on defense WHEN he decides to actually get up court instead of sulking over missed shots. Don’t forget the awful ball handling too.
@@OGSauceDaddyKlay should try to improve himself, if not in order to renew his contract then at least so he gets to finish it without getting that uppercut 💀
The punch is becoming more deserved with each bad head scratching game he does.
He got his bag, I think that's all he cared about honestly.
Nothing wrong with that. He won them a playoff series so he earned it.
@@vladathis how you end up playing only under 5 years and making minimum ad revenue on a podcast
@@vladaTrue but then started acting like he was Curry Jr. and won the finals mvp 😂😂😂
@@killemkilluaHe thinks he's Curry Jr. lol he said he his legacy is set smh guess he's a legend now😂😂😂
Ring and a bag. Guy is set for life.
But he could be so much better if he didn’t compete for shaq’tin a fool multiple times per game
Poole is one of those mirage players. He is not good but looked better due to being with Steph and the Golden State system. He won't keep playing this bad but he is an absolute jerk and deserves all the bad coming his way. He got all his money so he doesn't care now which is sad but hopefully he'll never be on a team with a winning record again.
You do realize he scored 40 something points his first game playing for Washington? Poole is no different then someone like Draymond green in fact Poole is better
Steph Curry also turns into Jordan Poole with 2 minutes left and the game on the line
Good title, thought this was JxmyHighroller when I clicked on it also I thought before the year kuzma may get more points than Poole this season dude was good last season with Beal and KP
Poole is so arrogant that he failed to realize how blessed he was to play with 3 HOF’ers, 2 of the greatest shooters in the history of the league, a class organization with a winning culture and a top tier coach, with experience playing with the greatest player of all time.
He’ll be injured by All-Star break with his out of control style of play. Heavy is the head that wears the crown,
How do you fail to get along with Steph and Klay?
Too much success too early. You’re supposed to struggle for it, go through the dark periods to get to the light.
Everything was fine with Poole until his teammate punched him. I’m not a fan of dude but let’s not act like all teams don’t have some arrogant/cocky players. You need some type of confidence but after Draymond got in his face & punched him over an altercation that could’ve been solved with words & the team act like it wasn’t a big deal he checked out. They did the same thing to Kevin Durant which shows what type of culture/favoritism they show.
@@JasonBoycetoo much success? He played in the g league and actually made it back on the roster so the notion of struggling before reaching success is void. Most players that go to the g league never make it back lol
@@css1741Draymond did it for a reason. Word is that Poole had a lotta mouth in GS. I hate draymond possibly more than anyone and wish he wasn’t even in the league but that’s the 1 and only thing I don’t blame him for doing
top10 player of all time, yes. greatest? no
EDIT Needed... at the end of the vid, you said the WARRIORS will continue to be one of the bottom-feeders of the league.... Um ... no... you mean the WIZARDS!!!!!
Lol, Freudian slip
Well, the warriors are getting close to blow it up territory.
the hate on jordan poole is crazy. kid helped the warriors win a championship dropping 20 a game in the playoffs and then comes back the next year gets suckered punched by the team's "locker room leader", team didn't discipline draymond in any way and y'all expect poole to just move the hell on and be cool with everything. it's pretty clear that poole isn't the most mentally strong player, his performance on the court is tied closely with how confident/supportive he feels. in 2022 he had the support of everyone, coaches, teammates and fans, he was splashing and everyone loved it. in 22-23, he was put in a terrible position mentally to start the year and you could feel the distrust between the management and poole. and then the fans started chiming in and throwing him under the bus especially in the playoffs. he had 0 confidence in the playoffs and was not even putting up shots, he would put up like 10,12 shots a game and yall tryna act like he was this selfish player ruining possessions for the dubs and klay was literally going 5-20 on a nightly basis. and he's doing the same this season. poole got traded (unfairly) and he now faces even more pressure to prove himself elsewhere, of course he's gonna fail. like i said, he needs a support system around him and when the entire world is waiting on his demise, it's almost impossible for him to overcome that, because like i said, he's still young and not the most mentally tough player. poole haters who call themselves warriors fans are the same people who are crying about steph not getting help and having no one that can score above 20. remember the days when poole would drop 30 or even 40 to carry the warriors when steph and klay are out?
Why he not helping now though for the wizards? You a wizards hater? Stop hating hypocrite
@@erroneouse1929 wizards are too irrelevant for anyone to hate on lol like i said poole needs the right environment for him to shine. he's not a superstar who can just thrive anywhere.
He got the bag and the ring. That's more than most players, even if he gets cut from the Wizards and will end up in Lithuania.
Let Deni Advija Hoop!! He was a fairly early draft pick for the Wizards with a ton of talent. Wizards coach needs to step up and stop the BS selfish play by Poole and Kuzma. They have Deni Advija shooting 53/45/80 this year and averaging 13/6/4 & 1.2STL in under 30min a night. But the least efficient gaurd in the NBA jacks up twice as many shots a game as Deni? Advija barely gets the ball when Poole is on the court. Poole would rather take a 40ft three or than give it to someone else who can actually hit a shot. For Advija to crack 20 points in a game he needs to shoot like 8/11 going 5/7 from three. Meanwhile Poole drops 20 going 9/27 from the field and 3/14 from three😒 Washington coaches are truly letting Poole just tank this team into the dirt for that top draft pick next spring.
The thing about Steph is that he makes it look easy. All of us have seen him play AND we have tried doing the same things he does😂… only to fail.
Steph is truly one-of-one. Honestly, I think that it’s easier for a player to resemble MJ than resemble Steph. That should tell you how hard it is to replicate Steph
You can’t emulate Jordan 😂😂
@@marcelineniz4135 and that’s my point. Only Kobe has gotten close
Poole is a sixth man masking as a starter. Way to good for the G league, way to inconsistent to be an Nba starter.
lol, watching Poole turn around to the bench to taunt when he bricked it so bad is priceless. He's like the second coming of Nick Young
He was immense the year we won the forth chip...but was mostly because noone saw him coming and he was handled well. The 'bag' he was so quick to flaunt is what ballooned his ego and ruined him.
Dude I forgot about that play 0:30 bruh im crying 😭
He is doing perfect job and executing rhe Wizards plan as a tank-master as well as possible.
They had to find the worst players, for highest contract to stay above the salary floor and suck as team as bad as they can.
Yes. Poole is possibly the worst player in the league, but he fills his job description.
How terrible to be considered an embarassing joke in the NBA at 24. He is so busy thinking he has a legacy when the one he is creating right now will be used as an example to future players on how NOT to behave, what NOT to do
@sofiacristinak.-cd1nk 🎯
As a Dubs fan I love JP. It’s just more enjoyable watching him play on another team. He’s always been funny af. That timeout video had me dying. That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. 🤣
Bruh. Don’t remember what year but there were reports of Klay and dray throwing hands. There was no record except for a beat writer account of the situation. Jp was a luxury for the warriors but jp never realized he has the luxury to play for the warriors. Green punches you in the face, we all know it’s not for no reason
Could you do a video on the Pistons and their… well, it’s an insult to the word, but their “defense”?
Lol I guess. They are a young team though so I’m not expecting much from them
Poole gotta thank draymond for that generational wealth man. Gsw was not gonna extend him until the offseason because they were gonna let him prove himeself but bob meters hd to rush to contracts to try to fix team chemistry after the punch lol
It will be interesting to see if Jordan Poole gets some self awareness, once he is completely humbled by gradually being hated by all his teammates and shooting himself towards one of the most publicly humiliating seasons in history. Will he course correct and listens to his coaches? Will he start to play defense and be a decent teammate? Will he have a meltdown and burn every bridge ever and blame his warriors former teammates? Not sure if he is mentally ill, just not very smart, or taking substances, but something is wrong with him.
He has all the talent he needs to be very good, but he just doesn’t have any self awareness of how often he’ll miss or turn it over when he pushes.
prolly got some loose screw right after saying his legacy is set because he won a ring and got the bag.
I'll bet not.
He's cut rom the same cloth as Ben Simmons
You can't blame Jordan for the warriors situation. They allowed him to be physically attacked by a teammate with no repercussions to the offender. He's a marginal talent that can be a great role player, never a leader or all star and he's in wasteland. But he's got a ring and generational wealth so i wouldn't care either
Draymond took his soul… my dudes joy for the game is gone… it’s actually kind of sad. I hope he’s doing ok mentally and I’m rooting for him to turn it around.
even Porzingas looking like wtf is this guy doing @0:53
It's like the Chicago Bulls, so you have to make a mentality that the player is not above the team, that he's just a wheel no matter how good. Now zack is angry because he played badly and the coach sent him to the bench. What he expected, that's how it's done. Of course, Donovan has to go, but...
The different between Poole and Simmons is one is overconfident while the other lose confident
Poole epitomizes a growing trend of a "me first" attitude in USA basketball culture. There's a reason the NBA is scared of an International vs USA all-star game format. They're worried the International team would kick butt.
I'm a warriors fan and I'm still upset that they were forced to trade him, idc who was in the wrong cuz they both were, but I didn't expect Jordan Poole to be this bad though lol I was expecting atleast 20 ppg
I said he was gonna be a one hit wonder and I was right 😂
The issue is that after the team chemistry incident, he lost any and all inventive to play for his teammates, dude's insanely talented but you can tell he doesn't care anymore and is just putting up shot after shot, it's sad to see and I hope we see a matured version of him soon
Bro got punched for a good reason, everyone wanted to do it
Jordan Poole is clearly deluded in his own sense of importance and grandeur . It’s unfortunate because he is a gifted athlete with offensive potential the key word being potential . There are so many holes in his game that need to be addressed namely playing defense and becoming more efficient and with less turnovers because his +\- is horrific so far
Confidence is a powerful drug
Great video, small nitpick: Eric paschall was the small ball 4 that the Ws ran, their backcourt saw a lot of Alec Burks/Ky Bowman/Glenn Robinson III time that season
Yeah this guy has no idea what he’s talking about
Trying to be Steph without the endless hours of work is focusing on the wrong part of the story. Lol
True he thinks he's Curry Jr. Lol he did contribute to the championship but he's acting like he won finals MVP😂😂😂
I’m sure he don’t wanna be Steph now . Dubs is having it up this year
they should put him in the G-League to try to get a better mentality.
What I don't understand is how basketball coaches in the U.S. and psychologists can't influence players, to ban them from certain things. To come to their senses, bring the EU coaches to get the opinion of the star out of their shoes.
The problem seems much deeper, while these guys are doing everything they can to show their individual talents just to be drafted by an NBA team, a 16 year old European athlete is already on a professional team, learning team play and being properly developed technically, physically and mentally.
US Coaches at the lower levels don't want to fix the problem. They're profiting off it.
Theyre experts in their fields, theyre not miracle workers. A lot of times they can only provide information for the patient to make the active changes in their own life
NBA players don't want to be coached. Kyrie Irving exposed this when he talked about Kenny Atkinson. a coach can't coach properly when their players are constantly trying to show them up, how they won't be talked to in a certain way, things like that. This is a major reason why american players have fallen off so hard, they don't want to get better or play to win. They have the mentality of "get the bag" and people online support it because money is worshiped. Jordan Poole is the personification of this mindset. He happened to win, but more importantly to him, he got his money. Now he will hold the wizard's hostage until management decides to waive him.
It’s tough because top level athletes almost need a certain amount of narcissism and delusion to become as good as they are. Once a human has developed a certain belief system that’s tied to the way they play, anyone suggesting they change their game is going to be interpreted as them asking they change who they are. It’s gotta come from the player once he realizes what he’s doing isn’t working anymore
I been saying that for yrs that he thinks he's Steph**he get the ball don't pass it**always gotta try to shake somebody**then he takes bad shots
I blame draymond for the factory reset.
Draymond warned the league about Poole egregious work ethnic. The fans were blinded by Poole's flashiness and failed to realize who he truly is.
@@MultiFansHuh his work ethic was the only thing his teammates praised him for tf are you talking about 😂
"Nothing is going to change for the Warriors, who will remain one of the bottom feeders of the league." I listened three-times to make sure I heard correctly. You might need to update the end of this content. Can't have you talking about the Dubs like that! 😂
I was so confused when I heard your voice 😂 I was like isn’t this bulls central?
about how many accounts do you have bulls central??
Just these two
Him getting hit 1 year prior well on a different team has nothing to do with him playing bad now
Steph has a mad crazy workout routine. Putting in extra hours in the gym and conditions workouts. If you aren't willing to do that, it won't work. Jordan can play but it goes straight to his head.
As a dubs fan, I never understood why we paid him so much. I never thought he should be paid even 75% of what Wiggins made let alone MILLIONS MORE. But I did think he was very talented in speed, shooting and ball handling. Last year time and again he made stupid mistakes and didn’t change to get better. He let the Poole party love get to his head. He let the Golden life get to his head. It’s a shame.
The best comedy act all year, Poole need a Netflix special 😂
Jordan Poole is like if a cocky Jamal Crawford let every intrusive thought take over 😂
Poole missing shots wouldnt be such a bad thing if it gets him where he needs to be. The problem is his whiny attitude wont allow improvement
Normally I would agree, but he’s missing A LOT of shots with zero self awareness
I remember when he scored 41 in a PRESEASON game, all the casuals flooded comments saying he's going to be the next superstar and an All-NBA team this year. Yes... An ALL-NBA team player.
I was leaving comments how delusional these kids were and they blasted me saying I was the one who's a casual... ...Well, safe to say that those kids are pretty darn quiet right now. LOL
Dude had one ok season and everyone thought he was a god somehow 😂 remember the 2nd most important player in the 2021-2022 was wiggins
I said this dudes a head case when everyone was sayin how great he is. So nice when everyone pretending they knew the whole time.
I say this complete unironically: He’s incredibly valuable to the wizards organization this year. He’s going to single handedly add losses to this tank machine and get the wizards a better pick because of it.
And Poole is still young. Most players don’t average 25 per game till there 4th maybe even 5 year. And Few players are different. I love watching Jordan
Same goes with Deandre Ayton, both showed potential, had some nice moments, got paid big bucks, and never as good as who they think they are.
POOLE SCORED 30 POINTS LAST NIGHT; WHAT THE F... YOU TALKING ABOUT. YOU JUST JOINED THE "HATE JORDAN POOLE GANG.
Poole had one good season - and it was a GREAT season. He was instrumental in the Warriors 21-22 Championship.
The views are all from people who couldnt believe what they saw and had to watch again. 😅😂😢
Poole performance this season had already secured him as the top contender in Shaqtin A Fool
Y’all hating on this man so bad. I remember y’all did this to Dillon Brooks now he playing sum of the best ball in his life. Let the man adjust to his new instead of kicking him while he’s down😷
I hate to be right about this. I was glad to be wrong to predict he will crumble under the new freedom he has on a new team.
I don’t mind his production rn; new team, new teammates, new role, new system, etc. I did expect him to be a top 10 scorer this year, I can admit that. what I do mind is his attitude, demeanor. why make yourself an enemy to the guys you’re going to battle with, that’s what I don’t understand. watching the preseason, I already knew what time it was gone be, when Avdija threw his hands up in frustration (even with Poole making the shot) I figured this was gonna be a tough season for them. I think I even commented that on the recap video of that game. I still have faith in his skill, I think he’ll bounce back. but he has to get his mindset together, you can’t approach a team sport the way he has, especially when YOU are the new guy. I do feel he’s in jeopardy of ruining his career rn
wow. is all i got to say because you are right. he was such an up and coming star nailing shots from beyond half court to this.. its all in the transition from teams to his relationships with teammates seems like he gave up which sucks because i liked the kid i was very happy when we drafted him! hope he can turn it around to be the star he once was
Except he was never a star. He had one good year which really got to his head big time.
WTF is "we shouldn't go hard on him coz he got punched"...shouldnt have ran his mouth if he wasn't ready for the consequences...See, that's what is wrong with y'all.🤷🏽♂️
8:01freudian slip ;)
I think personally that Jordan Poole is gonna become a a really high tier 6th man, I could def see him developing into a lou williams type player
I just find it very sad. I'm sure Poole has his share of the responsibility. But even as a Warriors fan, it just does not seem like the old guard (Kerr, Steph, Klay, Draymond) were up to the challenge of integrating and mentoring new talent last year. It wasn't just Poole.
And even if they were frustrated with Poole or his attitude or whatever, Draymond punching him in the face will forever be a turning point for that Dynasty. That's on Draymond - and also on the team for thinking the video was a bigger problem than the punch.
im so curious to know what poole honestly thinks of his own performance at the moment lol
It's extra funny when he takes those really long range 3s and they are just short. Like bro you don't have the strength to shoot from that range, who you kidding?
A couple years ago I had soo much hope for this team with the emergence of Poole and the drafting of Wiseman. Boy was I wrong.
NBA needs to look at these large guaranteed contracts and make a rule change. A player like Poole shouldn't be allowed to play THIS badly and still be paid $120m for just goofing off.
100% agreed. Ben Simmons is a big example of why fully guaranteed contracts are ridiculous. Just sit on your ass and make millions? That's some bullshit
Keep dreaming. Less than zero chance players union even talks about it. Only league that doesn't have them is NFL.
Btw, I blame the teams. They live with the player for a few years and know him well enough by the time the big contract comes along. The management are adults and professionals and they make the decision to trade, run out or resign contracts. If you think the player is a flake or doesn't try, it's on YOU as the management/coaching to make the decision whether to bail. You get paid well in NBA front offices to make these decisions.
GS made the choice knowing how he is. So management & coaching are to blame for betting on wrong horse. Character should matter when making multi million dollar deals but in the NBA character isn't a priority.
Jordan Poole this season is like Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn in Major League 2. Got the money and lost sight of everything.
If he'd simply go back to playing how he did in the beginning with the Warriors. He needs to be less cocky. Assist his teammates and focus on D. Let the offense come to him.

He's streaky and there's no superstar there to keep his ego in check
Loved the Poole party during that insane playoffs run, but someone pissed in the Poole last season and ruined the party.
