The Golden State Warriors recently welcomed back their young shooting guard, Jordan Poole, after a brief stint in the G League. The return of Poole has been met with excitement and anticipation, particularly from his teammate and NBA superstar, Steph Curry.
Curry has been vocal about his support for Poole throughout his time in the G League. He believes that this experience has allowed Poole to develop and refine his skills, making him an even more valuable asset to the team upon his return. Curry recognizes the importance of giving young players like Poole an opportunity to grow and gain confidence.
Poole hit the first basket of the game on an 18-foot jumper then missed his next five attempts before a driving layup at the 9:39 mark of the second quarter. He went 0 of 5 from from deep before connecting.
The Warriors also presented Poole with a tribute video before the game. He was met by a rousing applause from the sellout crowd during pregame introductions.
Poole and Looney have been his “right-hand man” since they faced off as high schoolers in the city championship in Milwaukee, he said.
“He’s the person I’m the closest with,” Poole said. “He’s always had my back. I love that guy. I told him as soon as I saw him, I need the jersey. But we talk all the time, we chop it up. That relationship means a lot to me, just because he helped me my entire time here.”
That jersey trade with Looney, that Kerr moment, that thankful message on the jumbotron — Poole will forget his shooting line long before he forgets them.
“It was really special,” Poole said. “Thankful for Dub Nation. Not many people can say they got a ring here. Pretty cool, pretty special. Definitely something I’ll remember.”
Jordan Poole's return to Chase Center marked a turning point for both him and the Golden State Warriors. His growth as a player and leader has elevated him to new heights, making him an invaluable asset to the team. As fans watched him dominate on the court once again, they couldn't help but feel excited about what lay ahead for this talented young player.
