[@MonstaRoe]

JJ You need to apologize to Kendrick Perkins for talking down to him for speaking on what actually happens in the Voting of the MVP in the NBA. You should of looked into it, instead of coming at him like he was wrong. when in fact you was wrongly speaking out of turn; You called him “irresponsible” if I remember correctly, when you was in that moment… Shaq has said similar things and other big named guys also! Would you sit in the faces of those men that actually knows because they was good enough to be up for it and talk to them like you did KP? That was such a huge step back from that article you wrote about black peoples plight. Made me think you was an ally of the truth and justice but I was wrong about your mindset.

At this point you would think he threw the punch lmaooo. The main reason they lost was because Poole regressed after Draymond knocking him out, Klay was back to full health and was buns, Steph’s and Wiggins were out for a while, Draymond couldn’t hit a shot, and the biggest thing, they were small lmao.

Bottom line: to play with the warrior big 3 you have to take a role. Usually they get players on the downslope of their career who are willing and able to play their role. Poole just happened to be the one guy (so far) who was young and succeeded in a role. Problem was, he wasn’t on the downswing; he’s on an upward trajectory and grew beyond just a role. Sounds like warriors were promising him he’s be next but timing expectations were off … they wanted him to stay in his role and wait for things to progress with time and age … he wanted to start the transition right away. We see which side won out.

[@doubleyoujaytee3017]

talent doesn't do you much good if you can't use it to your advantage, the warrior's let go of Wiseman, PBJ, Ryan Rollins and JP, only JP had the talent and the work ethic before letting getting the bag go to his head, Wiseman wasn't interested in doing what a big man does on the Warrior's playbook, which is to protect the rim, rebound, set solid screens for shooters and pass the ball to open shooters, he was interested more in shooting the ball himself, PBJ and Rollins were new editions and while they played well in the minutes they got, they really hadn't shown much with the minutes they were given.

The thing with Poole and The Warriors is they wanted and needed him to be all things to the team. One minute he's the 6th man, the next they needed him to start in place of Steph and be the leading scorer! The next minute he's back on the bench and required to lead the 2nd unit which contained 2 two way players and two 2nd year players the coach didn't trust. No role consistency at all and a terrible roster and he was 23 years old with nowhere near the amount of experience the vets had. Washington will actually be good for him.

Jaylen Rose said the day of the punch that Poole and Green would never be the same again. MAYBE if the Warriors actually punished Green, that would have helped Poole.

[@crystalsturdivant269]

That would have helped him from slipping and sliding on the floor, not playing defense, and complaining to the refs while the ball was still in play? I like the guy and hopefully he stops that in Washington

[@justadudewithopinions6209]

@@crystalsturdivant269 Spoiler alert: It only got worse in Washington. The more JP plays the more I agree with Draymond punching him.

Poole was worth $15 mill max yearly. The $125mill deal was almost as bad as the Gobert contract.

I hope every young player understands this really well. If you believe and bet on yourself. That why Jordan Poole got paid. It ok. They won't win without him.

[@KevinGrantandayolofortheroad]

I have been waiting for someone credible to put words to the JP situation with the team this way for months!! Thank you as always Andre for finally being the person to speak facts. So much of the media around this is so mind boggled on the relationship or loves to only focus on the punch and some awful feud. NAH. JP a sniper but he's no second fiddle. The man was hitting half court bank shots in the finals, he needs a loose leash. But when you got 3 stars that need the same leeway, that multiplies the magnitude of JP coming down the floor and hitting a double hesi and the ball flying straight into the stands. I think there should be no love lost as he is that dude, and in 3-5 years this could've been his team, but no hate on him not wanting to wait on that.

[@steverogers9894]

Poor shot selection and abysmal defense. So give him leeway to do what?

1:48 this take on Jordan Poole 100% confirms everything I suspected when I watched him on the court. And ironic thing is that he is not smart enough to be a winner when he is given freedom. He didn’t recognize that he only did well before because he played within the system. Smart defenders literally happy to go to Poole Island and bait him into doing the same mistakes. Poole thinks that he is the 2nd leading scorer because he was 2nd best player, when the reality is that he was 2nd leading scorer because opponents picked him as their poison.

JP3 did understand his role is the issue... he was never the now starter, but he was getting starter player minutes on the floor. He should have understood that he was the young players Steph Curry and should have focused on leading the bench and when time goes he would be the starter

[@antoniomoya2460]

A takeaway I have from this podcast is when they're talking abt Poole after winning the ring, questioning "why don't I get freedom like that? I'm proven already." That's the issue there. Jordan balled out in the 2021-22 season, but I remember he even regressed a bit back then, when klay came back into the rotation. Like I said, he did ball out that season, he did come up big plenty of times in the playoffs, and earned his bag. I think him getting that bag probably meant to him, that he was now gonna get the same treatment as Steph. Once he seen that wasn't the case, the attitude showed. Now I get Jordan's frustrations. He's young and hungry. Steph's spot on the gsw throne at that time had Jordan poole's name reserved to sit next on it. Had Jordan kept up the work ethic and been a key role player like he was in 2022, the dynasty run coulda continued, and Poole coulda slowly and respectfully nudge out one of the splash bros in the starting and closing spots.

[@davidleong6606]

What I will miss about JP is his surprising 😮creativity and fearlessness to shoot the winning shot or taking it to the rack… his confidence is his greatest asset… but just not for the Dubs… who grew impatient with him playing hero ball on O but zero ball on D.

[@jnewsom1979]

Very interesting vantage points..... good stuff. Makes Jordan more human and more difficult to judge him

[@iamBlackTech95]

The problem with Jordan poole last postseason was he didn't try to incorporate the team. He was trying to pad his stats. He was playing selfish basketball. Look at anytime he took possession of the ball, in times he should have pasted the ball he would see the person open, try to become a highlight with a crossover and slip like water was on the court. He lost possession too many times of the ball because of carelessness and selfishness. They should have put kuminga on the court more, instead of him.

[@t.p.8876]

Agree

[@pfneuman]

There is a video of Klay making a comment about JP not wanting to pass the ball. If you frustrate Steph enough to make a gesture that gets him ejected and Klay says you’re hogging the ball, you know the comments about ‘playing for self glory’ (and the baddies) carry some truth.

[@b32acon]

I really respect you guys and your contributions to basketball. I am not sure how JP will do in Washington without Klay and Steph spacing the floor. Regardless of the freedom that the Big 3 has, they were disciplined first or before the freedom. That freedom is slightly built off of that discipline or structure. I like JP but i felt that he was often out of control when he was frustrated resulting in TO's and poor decisions. At times I also felt that he was getting caught up in the hype / limelight resulting team breakdowns. I think he could be great, but I feel a lot will have to do with his maturity and growth from this point on. Also, he will not be at the Warriors organization which is going to be a different experience. It reminds me of Bynum leaving the Lakers. Bynum never played for another organization on the Laker's level.

Stop lying poole as a starter did work cause curry can’t score without a screen. So poole being on the court gave curry more space to run around screens. Every team has to defend poole so curry can’t get double teamed. They literally lost to a 7 seed after trading poole 🙅🏾‍♂️

I think after that big year and paycheck he basically went laid back thinking he didn't have to polish his game, you could see that he definitely wasn't the Poole before the bag.
