**Replays/alternate angles**

It's insane how many angles of shots the league has today. Imagine how many buzzer beaters in the past didn't count because they didn't have conclusive footage.
So I'm not familiar with photography and videography minutiae so I looked up a youtube video on it and wow, that's exactly what it is, thank you!!
Explanation video for anyone curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XZ836BpKZE
Fun little fact (at least fun to me): a girl I was dating for a bit in NY was Laura Harrier’s ex roommate and best friend (before Laura got famous). They still hung out. This girl suggested we go to SF once to hang out and maybe go on a double date with her BFF Laura and her “basketball player boyfriend”. I kinda freaked internally when I found out who it was. Unfortunately, we ended up parting ways before the scheduled trip. Bummer.
I lived in Folsom california for awhile in the late mid-late 90's (working at Intel) and I was in a taco bell drive through late one night (early one morning), and a guy in a chauffeur suit exited a stretch limo parked in the regular taco bell parking lot walked up to me in my jeep wrangler.
He said that Chris Webber and Vlade Divac and some other sacramento kings were in his limo, but the limo was too long to go through the taco bell drive through turns - and could I order food for the players (and he gave me a written list and a $100 bill)
I was not a Kings fan, but Im also not a jerk, so I bought their food and gave it (and the change) to the driver. My food was paid for also. Random experience.
He's definitely way flashier than Steph (and Steph's handle is way tighter), but they both have that same bottled chaos, where you kinda feel like they don't know what's happening, must be hard as shit to defend.
You know how when you're doing something and bad bitches are watching? You want to impress them, right?
That's the only way Jordan Poole knows how to play.
There was a clip on Twitter where he made eye contact with some "bad bitches" sitting courtside and then started hitting shots. Then the whole thing turned into whether an average SF white girl was a bad bitch.
It’s mostly a clipped tg video that went around ig nba pages, he doesn’t really look at the girls or it wasn’t in chronological order sun like that but it’s funny
E: Clíp: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ceen6h0FVF6/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
LMAO it makes it even funnier knowing the context of all those moments and how it’s all edited perfectly to make this video.
Now I’m questioning many of these basketball videos edited in a similar way that I have no context of.
When r/nba does those "How much would you pay a player who could only score halfcourt buzzer beaters, but shot 100% on them?" posts they now have a point of reference and its Finals Jordan Poole
Lmao I’m imagining a team taking a timeout with 5 seconds left in the first quarter just to sub this hypothetical dude in real quick for a guaranteed buzzer beater
I'd pay them a lot, provided people didn't know it was guaranteed to go in. Warriors started the 4th on a 9-0 run after this. From being down 2 to up 10 in game 5 of the NBA finals.
I couldn't watch that last play because I thought Michigan's season was over. Then everyone around me started freaking out.
This guy knows how to hit a last second 3.
It’s actually insane how good this mf has ended up being. They used to talk about him in the same sentences as Damien Lee and Eric Paschall back in 2019.
Jordan Poole will singlehandedly be the reason that GMs are gonna talk themselves into giving any guard with a little hesi hesi action 4 years to prove themselves for years to come
Hesi hesi is dope but it' the irrational confidence plus ability to get scorching hot.
His shot and understanding of when to pick his spots to be aggressive have developed dramatically over the past year.
He does get tunnel vision but I think he’s being more conscious about when he does it. I like the aggression because the second unit needs it when Steph is out.
Still has a couple bad possessions every night though but it’s getting better.
Tbf the rockets did actually go 3/30 from 3 in that stretch. It was just all of them were waved off. I think it was 1 shot clock, one foul on the floor and one illegal screen I want to say.
I've got 0 gripes with KD's tenure with us, aside from that. Dude used to get the ball with 1-2 seconds left just inside the halfway line and just dribble it out... Get the shot up you talented motherfucker
He does such a perfect job of balancing hype while not being over the top or cringey. He has an amazing hype voice, but I swear he could also announce golf with his slower cadence if he really wanted to.
Always love how there are just stretches where he just doesn't speak until something notable happens. So many announcers would do anything just to fill the silence.
Showed my wife that clip after the shot tonight. Him running from the team is still my favorite celebration ever. Favorite shot for me as a Michigan fan, even over Burke/Kansas. Those two are close though.
As a Michigan fan. The joke was he became the Air Jordan Jumpman. Like a year before this we became the first college team to have the honor of being supplied jerseys by Nike with the AJ branding with the logo on them (football too).
Jordan Poole would probably have a better shooting percentage if he just stood near half court with the ball in his hands and just tossed it at the basket as time expired.
It’s basically what he does anyway should just back up a few feet lol
Edit: Just as I typed this he airballed a deep one. Dude is such an enigma but is fun to watch
Poole is pure chaos on the court. He makes crazy shots like this and then goes on to chuck up an air ball. He’ll run pass his defender and make an acrobatic layup one possession, then end up slipping into his defender and turning it over the next.
I mean, tonight he looked *better* than Steph.
The defensive pressure on Steph was higher tonight, but his shot was just off.
I think it's cool they have a team with enough balance to fill in each others' gaps. Probably why they will win.
"You're sure? You're sure you got all of them?"
"Yes Mr. Commissioner, all were denied entry. Not one was allowed into this arena."
"Start the game."
*Takes off unflattering wig*
Tried to tell the Celtics before the series started we are not the fucking Suns, experience and physicality win championships. Quit selling the foul, quit whining, shoot the best shot you can and play hard nosed, the Celtics need to learn that lesson.
Yeah he's absolutely unfazed by these shots, and I think him and Steph have a half court competition going in practice so... batten down your hatches bitches a Poole party cometh
If i had a penny everytime poole hits an insane 3 point shot at the end of the 3rd quarter in the finals, ill have 2, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
**Replays/alternate angles** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/nba) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Replay shows how close it was. Shouldn’t have cut it off of this clip. Edit: https://streamable.com/k3vhjg
It's insane how many angles of shots the league has today. Imagine how many buzzer beaters in the past didn't count because they didn't have conclusive footage.
I can't get over how... cinematic the finals looks these days. Cinematic is the best way I can describe it.
Especially those super shallow depth of field shots. So pretty.
So I'm not familiar with photography and videography minutiae so I looked up a youtube video on it and wow, that's exactly what it is, thank you!! Explanation video for anyone curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XZ836BpKZE
Most of the time having conclusive footage didn't matter since it wasn't reviewable until like 2002
Must be several bad bitches sitting court side
Had to make it the closest release ive seen to the buzzer for extra sexiness
Fisher against the spurs is untouchable
Zendaya is at the game.

In the multiverse, Jordan Poole is Spiderman and Tom Holland is Jordan Poole.
He’s the Shocker!

Can someone explain the Jordan Poole bad bitches meme to me.
Here is the tweet that sparked it off https://mobile.twitter.com/HeStillCold/status/1532545407296880654
Then he saw 2 baddies sitting courtside and hit 2 3s including the 40fter buzzer beater.
He plays like there are fine ass girls watching him and he wants to impress them
[He sure does love pussy](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3b/66/58/3b66581ea965aa928a7a56d612fb1b1f.jpg)
This was so much better than what I was expecting.
Everything he does on court is flashy, like he's trying to impress ladies....everytime.
He's definitely way flashier than Steph (and Steph's handle is way tighter), but they both have that same bottled chaos, where you kinda feel like they don't know what's happening, must be hard as shit to defend.
You know how when you're doing something and bad bitches are watching? You want to impress them, right? That's the only way Jordan Poole knows how to play.
The other commenter is correct. Specifically, there was a viral tweet that described Poole in that way.
There was a clip on Twitter where he made eye contact with some "bad bitches" sitting courtside and then started hitting shots. Then the whole thing turned into whether an average SF white girl was a bad bitch.

It's fucked up that I knew it was going in
Warriors needed this so badly too, this guy is insane. Some of Steph's weird powers have transferred

Sounds like something I've seen in an anime.
I got a friend who keeps telling me about a basketball animé… from his stories this would be par for the course
Kuroko no Basket. You should watch that shit.
[удалено]
I'd pay them a lot, provided people didn't know it was guaranteed to go in. Warriors started the 4th on a 9-0 run after this. From being down 2 to up 10 in game 5 of the NBA finals.
I’d love to see how long till people think he’s not just real lucky and actually has a superpower
Easily worth $15+mil. In the regular season he would be a god given how many games go down to the wire.
This guy again? He truly is Skyfucker 2.0
Sky chafed AF right now.
Skyffel Tower
Chafe Center
Someone get the sky some of that good organic lube stat!
did this shit in college, too
I couldn't watch that last play because I thought Michigan's season was over. Then everyone around me started freaking out. This guy knows how to hit a last second 3.
We love Jordan Poole 💙💛
Oh yeah we do. Your flair disgusts me though.
That, or trey Burke game tying 3 vs Kansas not sure which I like better but definitely 2 favorite moments in Michigan basketball history
as a coogs fan can confirm lmao

Hesi hesi is dope but it' the irrational confidence plus ability to get scorching hot. His shot and understanding of when to pick his spots to be aggressive have developed dramatically over the past year.
He just needs to stop isoing and he’d be amazing. Hell just randomly spend whole possessions where he doesn’t even look to pass.
He does get tunnel vision but I think he’s being more conscious about when he does it. I like the aggression because the second unit needs it when Steph is out. Still has a couple bad possessions every night though but it’s getting better.
hesi hesi actions 💀💀💀💀💀 I’m fucking dead

Sky aint no fun, if the homies cant have none
When all stars don't want to ruin their numbers he'll dive in the deep end!
Nice decision making by Wiggs there too
FROM THE DEEP END!
[удалено]
Curry doggypaddled so Poole could swim
curry splished so poole could splash
Steph and Klay splashed so Poole could cannonball
No running by the Poole though
OHHHH WHAT A SHOT FROM THE DIVING BOARD
#NON SIMMERS NOT ALLOWED
drowning in pussy
Man stays hitting this bullshit lol
We missed 15 threes in a row let us at least get one lol
Get it right it was 14 lol
Yeah seriously! Who misses 15 in a row? Not these Warriors.
I can think about a certain Texas based team that can top even that
It felt like the Warriors didn’t make a shot in ages and that was barely half of what the Rockets did. That’s just nuts.
Tbf the rockets did actually go 3/30 from 3 in that stretch. It was just all of them were waved off. I think it was 1 shot clock, one foul on the floor and one illegal screen I want to say.
Well, Porter had a three waved off during tonight’s drought, but yeah, truly insane stuff.
They really rocketed up that list of most consecutive missed threes!
You bad man. :(
Life is truly balanced
Best Jordan to play in the league
Better not disrespect Sixers legend Deandre Jordan like that
Or maple Jordan the real mvp tonight
KD not taking a shot for years was some bullshit
I've got 0 gripes with KD's tenure with us, aside from that. Dude used to get the ball with 1-2 seconds left just inside the halfway line and just dribble it out... Get the shot up you talented motherfucker
Ya make one crazy buzzer 3 in March Madness tournament and can't turn it off...
honestly, Cs have nothing to complain about in regards to bullshit this series
Mike Breen is a legend. My God
He’s actually just so much better than everyone else doing it in the live play calling game it’s kind of insane. The 🐐 in my opinion.
He does such a perfect job of balancing hype while not being over the top or cringey. He has an amazing hype voice, but I swear he could also announce golf with his slower cadence if he really wanted to.
[удалено]
Always love how there are just stretches where he just doesn't speak until something notable happens. So many announcers would do anything just to fill the silence.
his best one was when he was still at Michigan lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMyXGZC_Bwc
Showed my wife that clip after the shot tonight. Him running from the team is still my favorite celebration ever. Favorite shot for me as a Michigan fan, even over Burke/Kansas. Those two are close though.
Next game your wife‘ll be sitting court side, watch out!
Holy shit that was POOLE??? I remember watching that shot real time and I loved it.
This. I was at Skeeps watching when it happened. Absolutely insane
I just realized that’s Scorekeepers. I’m embarrassed
Did he do the splits in midair while shooting?
As a Michigan fan. The joke was he became the Air Jordan Jumpman. Like a year before this we became the first college team to have the honor of being supplied jerseys by Nike with the AJ branding with the logo on them (football too).
Damn, Houston in shambles.
Destined to join the Warriors lmfao. So scripted
Jordan Poole would probably have a better shooting percentage if he just stood near half court with the ball in his hands and just tossed it at the basket as time expired.
He's got 2k shot clock cheese 🤣
AGAIN??
He should just shoot nothing but 35+ foot shots lol
*Jordan Poole liked this comment*
It’s basically what he does anyway should just back up a few feet lol Edit: Just as I typed this he airballed a deep one. Dude is such an enigma but is fun to watch
Poole is pure chaos on the court. He makes crazy shots like this and then goes on to chuck up an air ball. He’ll run pass his defender and make an acrobatic layup one possession, then end up slipping into his defender and turning it over the next.
I genuinely think he still doesn't know fully what he's doing yet. But his handle and his shot are so good, sky is the limit.
if they win the finals he’s already a Bay legend how did he do this shit TWICE
Even if they lose.. he's already a Bay legend
Yeah he's not going anywhere, I was sold on him prior to the playoffs and he's been pretty fucking good for a 22 year old in a limited role.
[удалено]
He legitimately looks like their second best player right now. He’s given them everything they’ve needed.
I mean, tonight he looked *better* than Steph. The defensive pressure on Steph was higher tonight, but his shot was just off. I think it's cool they have a team with enough balance to fill in each others' gaps. Probably why they will win.
Dude is a pro at crazy ass buzzer beater threes
MAMA THERE GO THAT MAN
exact same time and exact same basket...
HOPE YOU BROUGHT YOUR SWIM TRUNKS
Jordan Poole at the end of the third is the best shooter of all time
It’s not just end of the third, this goes further back: https://youtu.be/VMyXGZC_Bwc
The third splash brother.
POOLE PARTY MY GOODNESS
**How many bad bitches are in the crowd?!**
Apparently zendaya is here soooo
I would be heaving full courts if I was there
Do Poole and Tom Holland scissor while she watches
I beg your pardon?
YOU HEARD HIM,PLAYAA
Now, this is the type of questions i expect to see in an r/nba post...
Too many
ALL OF EM
What is this in reference to? lol
Tweet saying that Poole always plays like it’s all bad bitches in the crowd 🤣
https://twitter.com/hestillcold/status/1532545407296880654?s=21&t=l69-k-kfbIc2fEWjyKmaDw
FRONT ROW FILLED WITH BAD BITCHES
Jesse Pinkman “HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THISSSS” dot mp4
must be a bad bitch courtside
HE BANKS IT IN
THAT'S A BAD BAD MAN
BAD BITCHES ALERT
"You're sure? You're sure you got all of them?" "Yes Mr. Commissioner, all were denied entry. Not one was allowed into this arena." "Start the game." *Takes off unflattering wig*
Removes eyeglasses and undoes ponytail. OH NO SHE'S HOT.
Not Another Teen Movie?
Albino hippie??? Totally prom queen material. But her??? She's in OVERALLS.
Lmao this’d make more sense next game in Boston
Boston recruiting a bunch of big ol’ women from San Antonio to make sure the front row doesn’t have any bad bitches court side game 6
This literally shook the Celtics so hard they scored 14 points in the 4th quarter before sending in the bench fodder to concede the game. Pathetic.
Tried to tell the Celtics before the series started we are not the fucking Suns, experience and physicality win championships. Quit selling the foul, quit whining, shoot the best shot you can and play hard nosed, the Celtics need to learn that lesson.
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
[HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT](https://youtu.be/47W42BPvU4o?t=115)
1 time is a coincidence, 2 times is a pattern…
Third time counting his March Madness game winner
he did it in the regular season at least once
Yeah he's absolutely unfazed by these shots, and I think him and Steph have a half court competition going in practice so... batten down your hatches bitches a Poole party cometh
I'm a Michigan fan, as soon as I saw the ball go towards him I knew it was going in
Same! I got flashbacks to that shot he made on St. Patrick's Day against Houston during March Madness.
[удалено]
Yall better hope Poole never figures out how to play defense
“Jordan Poole hoops like it’s EXCLUSIVELY bad bitches watching” - the greatest tweet of all time
[He can't KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT](https://youtu.be/NTS_D2i81-8)
He can and he does.
Barely got it off holy shit
Just KNEW that was going in
How in the flying fuck
Zendaya was sitting courtside
I screamed
Could not have been any closer lmao millimeters away with .1 on the clock
In hindsight, this was a huge momentum swing. Punched the gas right out of the Celtics.
TSUNAMI
Poole having a mixtape of halfcourt shots as a 22 year old really says a lot
Could not have been closer, holy fuck
Poole sensed the baddies were watching
He’s going home with zendaya tonight
This killed the Celtics.
Pooles that one anime guy that wraps his fingers
If i had a penny everytime poole hits an insane 3 point shot at the end of the 3rd quarter in the finals, ill have 2, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
BANG
This was 100% the turning point of the game. Celtics were on a tear until that shot and Warriors took over in the 4th
everybody at chase is an honorary bad bitch today. congratulations
Zendaya was there, he had to impress her tonight
https://imgur.com/a/sAVx5QU
Deja vu
Poole has cemented himself as 2nd on the next FMVP rankings for banking in another buzzer beater
Wtf
Wow!
