    The Athletic's editors would've caught what should've read "my Jordan Pool," but read "my Jordan Poole" (with the E at the end) within the quotation marks. Verdict: this article is spoof, ie no is real.

    Thank you, Playpus. That’s not the only time he said that back then either. Thanks for finding it though. HCP has got egg on his face now.

    Yep I’m on record and so are you. Might be time for you to post less and read more. Learn from the experts.

    Not sure what the context is here….was CJ injured? One of my favorite players in the league, why would I not consider him a starter? Nice find by the way.

    seeing the date of the post it was most likely before CJ's first starting SG season started

    Sometimes I think @THE HCP's posts should be read with ex-poster @MARIS61's disclaimer in mind.

    It was before CJ started in his first season. No egg on your face. Not an outrageous thing to say at that time.

    Look at this garbage of a roster

    LMAO, the video of Draymond attacking Poole gets leaked to TMZ. It's way worse than I expected.

    Who leaked it?

    If Draymond is banned from the NBA - he can be a boxer or a WWE fighter.

    that was a brutal, dangerous punch. Not really a sucker punch, but close enough. I don't see how the Warriors can let that slide without serious penalty

    Who is the assistant coach walking behind all of it. It's like he knew it was gonna go bad but also knew there was no way he was getting in the way.

    To me, the video is pointless if you can't hear what they're saying.

    Poole is talking.

    Draymond gets in his face.

    Poole shoves him.

    Draymond throws a punch.

    We're missing some information here.

    Sucker punch? What? Poole pushed him first. There was no sucker about that. Poole had two choices. Put up or shut up.

    He didn't shut up...

    Yeah..... I wish the video had audio. We're missing some important information here.... but Poole isn't some innocent victim here. It's not like Draymond walked up and started throwing punches out of the blue.

    It's all about the "Jordan Pool" he is gonna put in when he gets paid.
    Green has made over $150 million and has won 3 championships. The kid has made $6 million so far but will most likely get paid pretty well next summer if all goes well for him. Thing is you gotta stay humble a bit. Certainly around the big dawgs on the team.
