The Curious Case Of Mo Bamba & Bol Bol : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNp5mdyYzLa6pps.html

He doesnt play to win, he plays to make highlights.

Poole will hopefully soon learn how fortunate he was and how far away from Curry he still is.

My favorite Poole play was when he did something so stupid that Steph threw his mouthpiece in disgust and got a tech. Probably peak Pool right there, actually getting a point for the other team.

pretty sure draymond will not be the last one we will see try to hit him

As a warrior fan this is exactly why i was happy to see JP go. Wish him the best, but glad hes gone.

last year, he gave me heart attack almost every game... hope he would learn.

As a Warriors fan, it was challenging to watch JP’s many blunders. What makes Steph so elite is that he is a student of the game, unselfish, and has an elite training regimen. You would think players like Jordan Poole would train in the off-season and watch film to improve upon his many deficiencies. Instead, he hasn't made any improvements and is still taking poor, I'll-advised shots. What a waste.

As a die hard Dubs fan, I never liked him and was overjoyed when we shipped him off. The worst thing that ever happened to him and whatever team he plays for was someone nicknaming him "Baby Steph", it should have been "Abject Poverty Steph".

As a warriors fans, I used to compare him to Monta Ellis… now I feel it’s an insult to Monta… Poole is such a loose cannon that no one can control

Yeah, he is absolute living proof that even with a lot of good skills in your bag, you have NEGATIVE value when you consistently making massive numbers of poor decisions. He’s so freaking selfish, and plays at Julian Newman levels of out of control. Plus he plays no Defense. He doesn’t even try. It was infuriating. I hated whenever he came into the game. He has ZERO self awareness. Just a big dumb puppy, with an insecure streak, and trash talks too much. Maybe he’s a great person, but he is an easy player to dislike.

Can't blame this on Draymond now. The sad part is he doesn't seem to care. Dude got paid and is just coasting now.

I have to admit I was skeptical about the Jordan Poole trade, but it appears Golden State knew exactly what they were doing. The Wizards, meanwhile, clearly had no clue what they had in Chris Paul. 🏀

In a way, this also illustrates how fortunate the warriors were with Curry and Klay…. There are a lot of ways things can go wrong even if you are blessed with great talents.

How tf have I never seen that suns half court clip 😂😂😂

Clips like these is why it's such a relief that Poole was shipped out. The guy just had ZERO basketball presence and awareness.

As a Wizards fan, it's painful to watch Poole and Kuz share the court, Warriors did a great job by trading him

Excellent analysis supported with unassailable facts. Your description of his game as “chaotic” and “lackadaisical” is spot on.

It was the happiest day of last season when JP was traded. He is such a team cancer now, that he feels entitled with a "bag." He could have a long career specializing in being the "face" of teams tanking. He would be good at that, like Iggy said about his D, "Dude works hard appearing to 'play' defense, rather than actually just play defense."

It’s a shame. His first two years, he was great. Got better and better. Kept grinding. Going from team, to g league, back to team. Then, third year comes, he’s explosive. Plays good with Steph together starting, then faded once Klay came back. The Steph got hurt, he turned up again. At this brief moment, his head was getting bigger and bigger from his big play. Came out hot in the first round against the Nuggets, while Steph came off the bench. But then faded and faded as the Warriors kept advancing. Then they win the chip, his head gets bigger. Then they gave him the huge contract, which they kinda had to, or they lose him of nothing, and his head got even bigger. Then Draymond put a end to that shit and he’s never been the same. The end. He’ll be out the league in 6 years. Or barely hanging around.

he is a "me first" guy, period.

Poole really thought he was the next Curry. Getting a ring so young blew up his ego as well. He blew it.

JP is a product of the "mix tape" era..always going for that one on one highlight play 😅

Thats why Moody, Jk couldn't get they moments 😂 I'm glad we cut him cus he didn't want to lead the 2nd bench now we good cus we got og cp3

Thank you I realized this last year and once they got rid of him for Cp3 I knew the warriors were aware. Jordan as good as he is offensively dude is knucklehead. And seriously this guy was literally falling slipping or just stumbling in the last few minutes leading to easy turnovers smh.

As someone that lives in the wizards market, I knew we were going to be bad but not this bad.

Winning that 2022 championship was the worst thing to happen in Poole's career. Now that he got his ring and bag, he figures he can be untouchable. Ugh.

Jordan fumbled the bag hard once he got paid. 22-23 was not his year

Great video! I love the edit at the beginning with all of JP’s awful shot selection and critical turnovers on display on the Warriors. As a GSW fan, I was so happy to see this loser go. He just wants to be on highlight reels and couldn’t care less about winning. Plays trash defense, doesn’t pass or rebound well . Does nothing outside of scoring and that’s not even that great and definitely not efficient. Good luck Washington!

jordan “never seen a shot he didn’t like” poole

Yup thats why we dumped him. he plays pick up, not winning basketball. and people thought the warriors were crazy to let him go. when he aint scoring, he aint shit. have fun wiz fans

Jordan Poole literally plays like I do, I toss the ball. I just toss that mtfer and pray it hits something. I think he is playing that game, "lets see who hits the board the most without scoring". I love that game.

Poole has a EGO problem. Something that you cant fix so easily. Many NBA players is no longer playing in the NBA bcoz of this.

Can’t believe Bob Myers gave him that contract. Now both are gone.

That 2021 season was magical. I'll never forget Poole's contribution to that season.

we knew this in Golden State. now y'all see

Poole looks like a kid in a pick up game who tries to emulate Steph Curry.

whats crazy is he can pass very good but he doesnt want to lol

Proof that talent alone isn’t everything.

Thank you for this gold bro. This dude wants to be Curry so bad.

It’s actually hard to watch these clips I’m getting second hand embarrassment 😂

Jordan Poole should be a tanking specialist. Actually I'm starting ro realize maybe that was Washington's plan all along 😂. Gotta spend that money some how and this guarantees you failure.

As a Warriors' fan, you are describing the PTSD I would get when Jordan was handling the ball.

Combining Poole's poor decision making with his streaky at best shooting is truly terrifying.

I’d be interested to see what the local media thinks of him. I agree with all the comments others made, which rightly focused on his play on the court. I learned a lot about who he was over the years by watching post game interviews. He was consistently rude to media. He never looked at them when they began to ask questions; couldn’t be bothered. And he never once, not once, owned up to any of his poor performances, bad decisions, egregious unforced errors. Nothing. Steph calls himself out, Klay, Draymond, all of them do. He was asked toward the end of the season whether he was working out or would do so in the Summer, to get stronger. He derisively responded something like: am I football player? No. I don’t need to work out. I do wish him well. A young man can grow out of immaturity. Not so sure though, that you can can grow out of egotism and selfishness.

great video. I like the format and style of it

I don't know why that kuzma clip at the beginning was so funny to me 😂😂😂😂😂

Really solid analyzis.

I literally have receipts all over KZfaq saying this. Poole destroyed their motion offense (ball/player movement) and nobody was trying to hear it. I have long detailed comments and yet everyone was busting my ass! No way no way. It’s not Poole. It’s Draymond and he ruined chemistry. Fk to da no. Picture this. You’re one of the greatest shooters of the century and you’re coming off screens hands open while this clown looks you off and dribbles into a triple team. That’s right. That’s Jordan Poole.

I’m glad I found this video and channel

Clear example of why humility is so danm important

when you want splash brothers steph and klay in your team but ended up with pooleboy and jacuuzi

JP found out its harder to be Curry than just making 3's.

Poole was trying hard to be Steph. He wanted to be a star thinking he can replace Curry. But that kid is fake and a usurper. He's now being exposed in his new team.

Just discovered you - love your video - keep em comin'! :)

I had no idea how absolutely shocking JP’s late game decision-making was. Great video.

Great analysis. Your channel will get huge soon.

That was a really good analysis! Jordan should watch it.

Basically he didn’t learn anything from steph 😢

He’s a career 33% 3 point shooter but takes shots like he’s a 40% shooter. 🤦‍♂️

As a Dubs fan for life, I do wish the best for JP. He did contribute to the Dub's championship run and was able to improve during his time as a Warrior...but I agree watching Jordan play and bad decisions he makes especially during the closing minutes of a tight game can be painful.

Poole needs this reality check and after this realization that's on him if he changes to be better or being the new laughing stock of Shaq and Chuck 😂

This brings tears to my eyes, My GOAT 😭

People need to understand Jordan Poole looks great because he is in team that have Dray, Klay, Steph and others who understands ball-less movement. Now that he has non of that, his flaw is exposed to the public, not to mention he has hot headed stubborn attitude.

Video nicely done.

Perfect music choice

I started off this season hopeful that he was going to ball out this season… only to see him get exposed even further. This could potentially be one of his last good contracts… he better save all of that money toward his future. I guess he may just actually be a bad basketball player that was an even greater beneficiary of the GSW system that previously thought. All of the space Steph and Klay provide made him look like a caliber of player which he wasn’t. He could see his last year getting bought out on a tanking team willing to take the hit to their cap space… which a tanking team wouldn’t mind doing to get rid of a toxic player earlier. JP is regressing… unfortunately.

lmfao, 0:45 - he took it upon himself to save the team 😂 while Curry and Thompson were right next to him asking for the ball back. Lmfao, this scene reminded me the time Lebron vs JR Smith. The same hand gestures and everything 😂

excellent vid

Love your content Ball Junkie.^0^

On 3. 1.2.3. Thank you washington😂😂

The hard thing to watch with Jordan Poole as a Wizards fan is it feels like he thinks he is entitled. It looks like in his head he thinks "Great scorers get to take some possessions off on defense, so I will take some possessions off on defense." or "Great shooters take this shot, so I will take this shot". He seems like he is looking all around and patterning his behavior off of what he sees others do instead of figuring out what he can do to lead to wins. This is why I don't have as big of a problem with Kyle Kuzma. Kuz still has his share of bonehead moments and his share of mental lapses, but it always feels like it comes from a genuine place of wanting to compete, win, and be better than his opponent. He plays with a massive chip on his shoulder and seems to be trying to maximize himself. Jordan Poole feels like he is trying to be someone else entirely.

0:44 curry throwing his mouthpiece always gets me 😂

Poole got one year to get together or he gone be one of those "what if stories"

Love how the backround is just a Poole miss highlight tape

Warrior didnt let him go bcause he was not a good player. It was because he has different idea, and it is bad for chemistry. When the player’s agenda does not pair with the team, it is best to get value for it and make it a win win situation.

Jordan pooles decision making reminds me of westbrooks, but way worse lol.

Nice video.

What's baffling is how such a shifty player with range and a decent bag hasn't learned how to translate that into good shots or assists lol. SO many fans were saying GS only traded him because of "the punch" and they'd regret it, and I was like bro have you even watched him play or just look at highlights??? He legitimately still has middle school star player mentality, it's so amusing to watch. You'd think he'd grow out of it eventually and become a great player but at this point I'm not betting on it

True story bro :) nice one

He didn't have baddies in the front seats, hence his last minute fumbles

I wouldn't say he's selfish or padding his stats, but he has definitely bought into his own hype and is playing in his own bubble.

Poor Poole. From your analysis, it looks like he is not a team player. I agree with one of the comments here. "He doesn't play to win, he plays to make highlights."

As a Warriors fan I am grateful that he helped the team win their previous championship, but I never once liked him.

4:48 the turn around 😂😂😂

Poole got a ring too early. This happens all the time to younger players who get rings too soon. They simply think the game is a lot easier than it is and many of them never recover.

That half court shot, with 4 seconds to play had me like 👀

Yo this was a good video, pretty honest ans fair criticism.

You ask what JP is thinking. I think it is crystal clear what he is thinking..."I am Steph". That is how he justifies doing those things.

4:48 this is fucking hilarious. Bro thought he was steph

Omg these jp highlights are soo funny. Can't believe how bad the decision making is 😂😂

Wizards are the most entertaining team in basketball right now and I'm not even joking. I'm thoroughly entertained by their games😂

menace is the wrong description for jordan foole!! "bone-headed" is more appropriate

6 more years of that classic Washington Winter, thanks Poole.

He doesn’t play to win, he plays to win girls

That halfcourt shot with seconds to go was atrocious

Jp looks lost. His face shows that he dont know whats happening around him

Poole plays like he ate too many edibles before the game.

You know he’s a piece of work when Klay is annoyed 😂

5 man were checking on him in paint while you have a facilitator and 2 shooter outside the 3pt range waiting for you to pass... Thats just so sad to watch...
