Jordan Poole on Steph’s Goodbye Message: “I talked to Steph prior to that. He’s the leader of the team, it’s something you have to do. Reached out, had a conversation” | Poole on the Impact of the Draymond punch: “Yeah I mean uh, we’re onto Washington now. Playing with Kuz, great duo” (1:21)

  1. Always been a professional about the punching incident whenever he was asked about it by the media. Appreciate his time here.

  2. Jp seems sad man, brutal rise to super fandom and a ring to hated by his team and fans 6 months later. Unfair if you ask me but we’ll never no the truth of his attitude. hope the fresh start goes great

  3. Hope he does well in DC. Unfortunately didn’t work out here the way it did for JP but grateful for helping GS to the 2022 title

  4. A lot of people like to say Steph isn’t a leader but this is how a real leader treats his teammates. You don’t have to be loud or good in the media to show leadership.

    Sometimes you need to have some uncomfortable conversations but things should never be toxic like it has been at times during the dynasty. It’s unfortunate Poole has to be a scapegoat but going forward every single player on this team has to follow Steph’s lead and be better on and off the court.

  5. Much love to Poole would have never got that ring without his contributions. Unfortunate the way it ended but I hope he goes on to have great a career.

  6. I mean, less than a month ago, dude was all over the local ads. Annoying as he was from time to time with his crappy ass hot selection or slip and falls, it’s hard to see him get fired like this. I feel bad for the guy.

  7. Is it just me or did he basically say Steph’s words meant nothing to him because Steph was just doing what he had to do as the team leader, that it was simply a transactional interaction? Sounds like he had written off Steph, Kerr, Draymond (of course) at least (presumably at least a couple other guys as well), and to me it seems like he intentionally tanked the team by putting in no effort because of it. The break up was for the best for everyone, for sure.

  8. I want JP in warriors jersey forever but we gotta prioritize Steph. In another timeline when Steph retires, I hope we can get him back.

  9. Warriors 6th man is about to be Washington’s 1st man. Crazy, that we are that team with superstars and rings.

    I remember watching Larry Hughes go to DC, and then Arenas and Jamison. Felt like we were a minor league team. 20 years later the trajectories of these two franchise couldn’t be different.

  10. Unfortunate how it all went down but I honestly want to see him do good things in Washington.

  11. Good riddance. So tired of all the jp posts already. He’s not on our team anymore

  12. Damn, people can say what they want about JP but he has always been professional when asked about the incident with Draymond and never speaking bad on anybody. Media is trying to create a narrative of him that’s not true. He went through a lot of bad press among other things this past season but yet still able to maintain a strong positive mentality, just shows he’ll be just fine and able to continue to develop in the league regardless which team he plays for.

  13. I will still watch this kid and his growth as a player.
    Thanks for that 4th ring. Best of luck to your endeavors in DC.

    “Uy si Jordan Poole”

    By some random filipino guy 🙂🙂

  14. I never like his game but in public he has been a pros pro the whole time it seems.

  15. What a tool! No, Steph didn’t have to call his ass and wish him the best just because he’s the team leader or send a goodby message.

    I can’t wait for Lester Quinones to get a chance to ball out this year! At least with Lester understands playing defense is just as important as scoring…

  16. Seeing the reactions to JP’s comments to the media today and the stuff the Wizards released yesterday has me convinced folks have never seen his interactions with the media. This is how he always sounds, I don’t get the “he’s depressed/sad” stuff, or maybe y’all are trying to convince yourselves that he is. Dude has never given the media much, Thompson and Slater used to always joke about it on the Athletic pods.
