As a Warriors fan, I had so much hope for Jordan Poole. It’s sad to see him go down the drain so quickly.

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.

The 2023-2024 Shaqtin MVP goes to Washington Whoopsies' Jordan Fool 😂

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.

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

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.

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.

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 😢

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.

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’s slow he gave ice spice $500,000 dollars 😂😂😂

I've always thought of Poole this way. Never understood why anyone thought he was any good. Just feeling himself. 😂

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.

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.

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 😅

The moment he said “my legacy is solidified with a ring” I knew where his head was. Cause WHAT LEGACY??

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.

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

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.

Draymond was tired of Poole trying to be Steph Curry, so he decided to be Mike Tyson.

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’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.

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.

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

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?

He got his bag, I think that's all he cared about honestly.

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

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

Steph Curry also turns into Jordan Poole with 2 minutes left and the game on the line

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.

Great video! New subscriber here.

Dude I forgot about that play 0:30 bruh im crying 😭

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?

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

I was so confused when I heard your voice 😂 I was like isn’t this bulls central?

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

Poole is a sixth man masking as a starter. Way to good for the G league, way to inconsistent to be an Nba starter.

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. 🤣

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

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.

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.

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

about how many accounts do you have bulls central??

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

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

Could you do a video on the Pistons and their… well, it’s an insult to the word, but their “defense”?

even Porzingas looking like wtf is this guy doing @0:53

The different between Poole and Simmons is one is overconfident while the other lose confident

Confidence is a powerful drug

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.

At 8:02 you said nothing is gona change for the Warriors, I think you meant Wizards. I was like 🤨

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

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...

I said he was gonna be a one hit wonder and I was right 😂

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

@And One Hoops1, at the end of your video you said the Warriors will remaina bottom feeder, did you mean Washington?

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.

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

The best comedy act all year, Poole need a Netflix special 😂

Bro got punched for a good reason, everyone wanted to do it

Trying to be Steph without the endless hours of work is focusing on the wrong part of the story. Lol

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

@8:00 *Wizards. I think you made that mistake earlier too

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.

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.

they should put him in the G-League to try to get a better mentality.

I blame draymond for the factory reset.

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.

Anyone remember the college player Marshall Henderson from of Ole Miss? These two players have glaring similarities.

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

On the other hand, I dig the Maurice Cheeks throwback hair and mustache.

At first I was like this is what we traded for jordan poole? Now I'm falling in love with cp3 and understanding what a true pg can do for your team. I never thought I would like Chris Paul, especially after all the battles with the rockets, but he has exposed what the warriors have lacked in the first 10 games

8:01freudian slip ;)

Him getting hit 1 year prior well on a different team has nothing to do with him playing bad now

8:00 had to snuck that in for us Warrior fans huh? :D

He had stars around him that's why he shined the way he did

"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! 😂

Poole had one good season - and it was a GREAT season. He was instrumental in the Warriors 21-22 Championship.

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.

Seeing how JP played in High School and NCAA, he has always played like this

im so curious to know what poole honestly thinks of his own performance at the moment lol

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

✋🏻 First minute of the video, describe me as a fantasy manager😂

5:29 in this clip you cut away as Poole comes back in appears to steal the ball, did he?

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.

Quick success builds ego , gradual success builds character

Poole performance this season had already secured him as the top contender in Shaqtin A Fool

this guy is the last guy u want to pass the ball in last seconds

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

no one should try to be like steph he is one of one no one will ever come close😊

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.

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 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

If I got my bag like him, I’d be shooting from the half court line all day like YEEEEEE
