Best of Jordan Poole's 2021-22 NBA Playoffs

Poole Party alllll summer long 🌊
Celebrate Jordan Poole's birthday with a look back at his BEST PLAYS from the #NBAPlayoffs

[@nitroballa25]

I was shook when he didn't get any recognition after they won the title!!! I know Wiggins did an amazing job down the stretch in the finals but Poole was a huge part of GS even getting to the finals. What an amazing offensive player. Mans moves like fucking water, so smooth.

[@atake_plays7784]

and he was doing it in less minutes then guys like curry klay and wiggins

[@royalaustin]

he got interviewed in the locker❤

[@angelmedina9077]

His regular season was better but if there was a defensive mvp award it would be Wiggins stopping the best player on the celtics

[@Dredahooper]

he was for sure @ times our best player, the only rzn why he didn't get more mins was, he was yung n plus he was a defensive liability in closing minutes

[@atake_plays7784]

@@Dredahooper and the defensive liability wouldn’t be a problem but you already got steph and klay on the floor so you can’t have three defensive liabilities and I know steph is a smart defender and klay obviously hasn’t been the same defensive player as he was pre injury

That killer crossover is so AI level but the quickness that comes along with the crazy handles and the shooting are all steph.

[@Pyxyty]

Far from AI level, not even a Jamal Crawford type of crossover, but mixed with a sharper three than both AI and Jamal, it's definitely a bit more dangerous because whether you guard up close or sag off to guard the drive, you'll still be screwed.

I remember watching that same crossover when he played here in Wisconsin. Just was shorter lol

[@beefcheese3395]

@@Pyxyty No one ever gona cross like AI not just cause he's AI but, they made a rule that you can't hold the ball the way AI did. I think people don't give Steph enough propers for his handles. Imo, his handles are just as mad if not more than Kyries. Pretty much the best handles in the league.

My goodness. This version of Poole was something that every warrior fan wanted to see flourish. This Poole was potent, in full control of his speed and his cuts and offensive plays were absolutely outstanding. Seeing his 22-23 season just saddens me as he started playing recklessly, erratically, and emotionally; turning the ball over numerously, falling over himself by speeding up too much, and so far as to being selfish with the ball in his hands with disregard to open teammates. Truly hope for a matured Poole to develop and reclaim his honor if he was able to capture a 2nd stint.

[@memoclarkson7061]

I see a lot of people trying to make him Curry 2.0 but I want Poole to have his legacy. To be compared to the Greatest Shooter of All Time is too much pressure for him. I just want him to give us Poole Parties these coming years. His playmaking is already graded A, his ball-handling is A+, and shooting is A+ but he has the potential to be SSS+ tier in all of his skills, including vertical! He just really needs to have that defensive IQ and grow better on his playmaking. I hope he finds his style of play, we never know up until when GS can still win with their unlimited screening and off-ball movement, but one thing is for sure, with the talent that surrounds Poole in the future, their offense is surely bright. This championship gave the young guys hunger to learn defense and how to be in this league the right way. Wiseman, when he got drafted, he wanted to be “the man” but after getting his ring, he stated that he just wants to contribute to what the team wanted from him, very selfless. Kuminga and Moody have been balling with patience and you can see them learning and listening all-throughout the Playoffs! I’m rooting for their young core until the end!

[@evanstahlman7988]

missing this man.

[@Ttcopp12rt]

Hope he remains a Warrior for at least 3 more years...His championship experience at being so young but athletic and intelligent is going to fully bloom in the next few seasons. Playing with the same group of guys is important for developing chemistry, but even more unique is the fact that he's experienced what its like to be down BIG by 12-20 pts in these playoffs and yet still come back and win 6 out of 7 of those games where most people thought the game was over. Ex. Game 6 against Boston, down by 17pts in 1st quarter and then GSW takes the lead at the last second of the 1st and keeps lead the entite game and gets the chip. You cant buy such experience. This experience will certainly segway into him be cool and calm whenever he is down big in a big games going into the future. He, just like Quin Cook, are the "6th starter" so to speak. Comes off the bench and balls just like a starter - not giving the a defense a break at all despite the fact that Curry or Klay is off the court getting a quick rest.

[@gumbz_ke]

[@SapphicTwist]

These highlights are so exciting to dubs fans, because Poole was the second-best Warrior in the regular season, and though temporarily slowed by the commotion around Ja's injury, Poole contributed timely plays throughout the playoffs. Can't wait to see Jordan next year...

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

Wiggins was the 2nd best player all season

[@SapphicTwist]

@@ohyeahitsthatoneguy I don't agree. Poole carried the Warriors offensively for significant stretches, while WIggins played a supporting role... True, Wiggins exploded in the playoffs, playing lights out defense and hitting clutch shots... much bigger presence than in the regular season...

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

@@SapphicTwistPoole was inconsistent in stretches while Wiggs was a reliable 17 points every game w 20+ here n there while also being great defensively all season long not just during the playoffs. He was making important shots all season, scoring at the right moments to stop a run or widen a lead, defensively he'd make a perfectly timed block when the team needs it more often than not. in some stretches Poole scored like 12 points and couldn't finish anything with tons of turn overs. Wiggs was easily the second best player all season but that's just in my eyes, u could see it differently it's good
