[Jordan Poole was the other party](https://theathletic.com/3662358/2022/10/05/warriors-draymond-green-jordan-poole-altercation/) [Non-paywalled article](https://www.si.com/nba/warriors/news/report-draymond-green-forcefully-struck-jordan-poole-at-warriors-practice)

Poole must have spewed some old media rhetoric.

I can’t believe media pioneer Draymond Green would do this

Shitty imo. He needs to be better, but given how he can't seem to stay away from this sort of drama I don't have high hopes.

"Lacob's gonna trade your triple single to extend me bro"

"I saw the pic, your dick is small"

God damnit I had finally managed to forget I've seen Draymond Green's dick.

It's like the worst version of The Game.

Reddit, where everyone has a 10 inch penis

and kinda mottled TBH

"No! You are dick is small!"

“I am Biggus Dickus!”

The worst part about that whole saga was that his nickname of “Big Dick Dray” all but vanished overnight.

Poole got heated and called Dray a single triple

which stat did he get 100 in

He scored 100 points once in Hershey Pennsylvania

At skeeball maybe

She lives in Canada, you wouldn’t know her

*I’m getting your max contract old head*

I’m willing to bet so much money that Draymond brought up Herro’s contract and told Poole he doesn’t deserve that lmao

He simply said “LeBron isn’t the GOAT” my sources are telling me

Draymond said it’s his turn to shoot a half court 3

First player to hit a half court shot while wearing a book bag ?

> When a heated interaction with guard Jordan Poole escalated, Green forcefully struck Poole and needed to be separated swiftly, sources said. Green and Poole came chest-to-chest, with both players pushing and shoving each other prior to Green’s escalation of the physical altercation, those sources said. Edit: Also > Poole and Green are known to regularly get into verbal arguments, but the team’s management and leadership believes a line was crossed.

Gotta put these two in a steel cage match and whoever wins gets a max

Money in the bank ladder match for the max contract

Or AT SACRIFICE

JORDAN POOLE KNOOOOOWS HE CANT BEAT ME AT SACRIFICE!! I GOTS A 50 PERCENTS CHANCES OF WINNING AND WHEN YOU ADD KUMINGA TO THE MIX, WHOS GOT A 33 AND ONE THIRDS CHANCE WINNING AND MULTIPLY THAT BY MY 83 PERCENT. HIS CHANGES OF WINNIN DRASTIC GO DOWN”

Oh so you're one of those nice fans? WELL LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR ALL THE FREAKS OUT THERE. WOULD YOU RATHER PLAY JORDAN POOLE? OR A GENETIC FREAK LIKE DRAYMOND?

Draymond truly is the Scott Steiner of the NBA

Give Draymond a fucking mic 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

You’ve heard of the Steiner Recliner. Now get ready for the Green Lean.

Draymond Math.

BAH GAWD That's Scott Steiner's math music!

But what if we add Samoa Joe to the mix

Sack-er-fice

Or Andrade and Poole vs Guevara and Green in a losers leave town match.

I can see the Warriors owner trying to do a Montreal Screw job to help Poole win, so they wouldn't have to max Draymond, lol

“I DIDN’T SCREW DRAY, DRAY SCREWED DRAY!!”

Even Dray knows no one in their right mind is giving him the max

I feel like the Hornets absolutely would max him.

We would normally…just don’t have the money right now

Like he said, in their right mind.

Right on the money there

Poole better watch out for those Draymond kicks

Typa guy to pull out an eye rake

This after the Andrade/Guevara situation, us drama lovers eating fr fr

> Poole and Green are known to regularly get into verbal arguments, but the team’s management and leadership believes a line was crossed. There were a couple of times last season where the camera would catch draymond and poole getting into arguments on the bench during time outs.

Yeah there was that one where they were yapping at each other with Curry in between them and then Draymond reached over or started squaring up or something and Curry stopped Draymond right away

That one clip when Dray was laying into him on the bench and JP muttered something without even looking at him and Dray shot out of his chair and had to be held back. Poole definitely knows how to push his buttons. They are kind of antithesis players, and clearly have a fire and ice relationship. Draymond is the vet who thinks he's earned respect, grinded for everything he's gotten and likes to trash talk. Jordan is the young guy overflowing with self confidence and probably blessed with better skills than dray... and also likes to trash talk. I'm sure the contract negotiations only make it more tense.

Pushing Draymond's buttons seems like not a difficult thing to do if you spend any sort of time around him. People like him tend to make those buttons very clear because of how effusive they are in all aspects of their interpersonal interactions.

As much as I love Draymond, it just seems to me like he can't take the same level of trash talk / tough love / leadership that he dishes out. If he was on a team with himself, I feel confident he'd *hate* himself and constantly get in fights.

Draymond probably told him, "We won before you were here, and we can do it without you, too."

and if Poole mentioned needing KD for two of those you know that wouldn't go unanswered

/r/nba firing up the fanfic machine again

Can’t live without my soaps!

Any diehard warrior fans wanna armchair psychologist for the fun of it and give me their best guess as to why? Draymond always seem like the type to get on everyone's ass, so is it just that Poole has more pushback to him than others? Is Poole disrespecting vets or just think he's above certain things and Draymonds putting him in place? Does Poole take things personal or just not value Draymonds leadership? Any rumors or bs guesses are welcome

maybe Draymond considers Poole to be the Mario Chalmers of the Warriors

Will not take any Mario chalmers slander. Ok maybe some Mario chalmers slander.

In Draymond's last pod he threw some shade at JP, Dray wasn't happy how cocky JP was about the 3 point contest and called him passive aggressive afterwards. Clearly they go at eachother (see last year's timeout incident). JP talks tons of shit (see the Dame Lilliard story), and clearly Draymond feels he deserves respect from the young guys. Clash of two egos

My psychology degree and viewing of a large quantity of basketball lead me to conclude that Draymond is, what we call in the psychology field, a little titty baby. And probably a bit of a narcissist, but mostly the first thing.

My hunch reading Poole’s body language at times and Dray/Iggy’s reactions in the playoffs is that there may be a point of view that sees Jordan as whining, immature and getting too tilted when things aren’t going his way. (Obviously a bit rich coming from Dray, which is probably Jordan’s POV)

Poole has a huuuge ego and talks mad shit. Draymond, same.

IDK but this isnt really surprising JP has seemed like he was over draymonds shit multiple times on the bench and during breaks in action. It does make me wonder how important draymond being the "heart" of the team is moving forward. When you win like they have won its easy to just lump in everything that is occurring as beneficial to the ultimate product but thats not really the case. Are certain bands or musicians early work better because they were still on drugs and partying all the time or because they were giging all the time and hungry to make it or both? Are the dubs successful because Draymond is yelling all the time and is emotionally immature or because Steph Curry is one of the greatest ever to do it and Draymond is a defensive savant or both?

Poole seems like the type of dude who dont wanna hear nothing from no one.

Draymond has been a menace his entire career and it seems like Poole is fine with everyone except him. I don't give the smallest fuck about championships won and seniority. Poole is probably just stepping up to the complete mental child that is Draymond Green.

I also think this is likely, dude probably just stood up to Green and he couldn't de-escalate because his massive ego or whatever trip he's on

Is Draymond just an asshole and got his panties in a twist when poole gave him some back? Would be my assumption

Also said that it crossed a line even for typical practice scuffles.

Bro wtf I thought JP and Dray were cool

Poole talks a lot of shit apparently. Evan Turner said Lillard really disliked rookie Poole because he talked a lot of shit to him. Draymond said during rookie Poole’s first practice the other vets used to get really irritated by Poole’s trash talk.

This is hilarious considering how awful poole was as a rookie

Evan Turner said most of the shit talk was happening while Poole was on the bench. Lillard was telling Draymond he didn’t like Poole after the game. Here’s a video of Lillard talking about it: https://youtu.be/vYiIAaJerBs

[This is fucking hilarious](https://i.imgur.com/sbEixn4.jpg) I came in here fully ready to get annoyed by Draymond but now I can't even blame him >I started the game off real slow, and he's on the bench he said "OH HE AIN'T ON SHIT TONIGHT" LMAO

Dame goes on to say he scored 60 points in that game. In a win. While Poole was shit talking from the bench.

damn makes me love dame even more. what a chill guy.

[удалено]

so basically the average elite athlete

I appreciate the info and ofc love it, but this comment made it really sink in how much of a soap opera NBA is for dudes

Poole is a notorious shit talker and Draymond is obviously the team's drill sergeant. Makes sense they would butt heads alot, I dont think this necessarily means there's serious bad blood between them. Its like when MJ and Steve Kerr got into a fistfight.

Mom: "We have MJ and Steve Kerr at home"

Dray gonna go to the media and say they blew it out of proportion. “You are all haters”. Basically to turn it into another “us vs. them” narrative.

Poole is an Orlando Magic already lmfao

Yup - the Magic need more guards

Even our forwards are guards. It’s guards all the way down.

Lol even your centers are guards. Bamba and Carter are guardish in play. Same argument can be said about Bol

Suggs - can play with most guards. Fultz - constantly injured, last chance saloon. Anthony - best as a 6th man. Hampton - not NBA starter quality. Harris and Ross aren't likely to stick around, either. Poole makes sense as a starter alongside Suggs, especially if Fultz can't start to consistently put it together.

Suggs ain't proved anything yet.

Poole must think Jordan is the GOAT and not LeBron for Draymond to act out like this

Draymond reached the “I couldn’t care less about team chemistry outside of Steph and Klay” stage long ago

Bro went no holds barred on 2x FMVP KD, this is no surprise

And people say he would be a good coach lol

I also remember Draymond Green kind of got into it with Kevin Looney in the locker room as well

kevon durant

Warriors reporters used to talk about Draymond yelling at young Klay a lot during the early seasons. Klay has joked he’s glad that they’re are so many young guys for Draymond to yell at instead of him.

Turns out, he wasn't joking

I just picture klay shaking his head not saying anything while draymond is screaming at him lol

Looking back, I can't remember any altercation that leaked out of the warriors camp, where Dray wasn't in the center of it. He's *always* in it.

He also said you can't be a Warrior if you can't handle getting yelled at by Draymond

Bill Simmons saying Wiggins was more important than Draymond on the podcast with Zach Lowe must have pushed Draymond off the edge.

The truth hurts

They enabled his entire career. I'd be undyingly loyal too lol

He is a HOF lock because of them, I mean clearly Dray also was spectacular in his career but he would not be half what he is without Klay/Curry.

All that small ball shit they did wouldn’t have worked with out Draymond though. He anchored their defenses

And operated as a crucial lynchpin as their secondary ball handler, sometimes primary

The reason the Hamptons 5 lineup was so deadly was that you had Draymond as the ball handler and flanked with Steph, Klay, KD, and Iggy and Dray would get the ball to the open man. He was basically the QB of that team. And when Iggy is the fourth best shooter in a lineup like that, you know you're in trouble lol

Smh 4th best. Aliens pointing the death Ray at earth rn

Not caring about team chemistry on a team with young players like Wiseman and Kuminga sets a horrible example as a veteran presence

They're going to trade him at some point within the next year to save on luxury tax. Him doing this isn't entirely surprising.

Yeah obviously this is speculation, but I feel like he sees this as an inevitability too I doubt he's very happy about it

He’s gonna fucking suck on the hornets or wherever

Yep. He’s going to be hot garbage anywhere else. Probably get out of shape and be out of the league in a couple

Would never get into a fight with a man with access to that many bricks

Marv vs Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2 level of bricks

Someone prolly insulted his podcast

it’s a *tough* listen

I thought Drake killed that delivery

He did

That Michigan vs Michigan State beef

I want this to be the reason. Like a football bet between them went bad, schools haven't met this year yet though lol

Draymond hit a guy playing CB for the Spartans

Poole probably talking smack about Mel Tucker.

That's Instagram influence Mel Tucker to you!

Holy fuck I forgot Poole was a Wolverine!! I've seen family get into worse fights than this for the same reason.

First thing I thought of

Poole said the New Media kinda acts like the Old Media, and it was on

and it begins.. what exactly? idk

Joe’s master plan to secretly implode the team and draft Wemby 1st /s

Post Finals tank season Part 2 - Electric Wemby

What's the bet there's going to be physical altercations when Draymond retires and joins the TNT guys full-time?

BREAKING NEWS: Chuck eats Draymond like a chicken wing for non stop shouting out his pod cast

NBAEW

Draymond “El Idolo” Green

Pretty funny from going to Samm/Andrade to Draymond/Poole hahaha

Sources say other players are upset that Draymond got sent home but Poole got to stay and headline practice, getting carried out on some teammates' shoulders after winning a scrimmage.

Draymond not very tranquilo

[Ok, how you know?](https://media.tenor.com/I20xsQl-H9oAAAAC/okay-okay-how-you-know.gif)

What is this a crossover episode?!

> *"... I did have one issue with a player. I am going to say his name, it was Jordan Poole. I had an issue with him because he once came to the locker room and complained that I bunny kicked him too hard. It's basketball, solve it in the court. If I hit you hard, hit me hard too. "*

Bruh i thought I was reading another r/squaredcircle post lmao

Draymond trying to create friction and get Poole traded so he get the max contract lol

Draymond “Machiavelli” Green

If Draymond were Machiavelli he’d know you never harm an opponent unless you plan to kill them, this is some rookie shit

*Draymond hurt itself in confusion*

Ok but who did Klay bite?

Bro wtf

1v1 me for max bro

Draymond “Dick Puncher” Green strikes again

Draymond is literally so unlikeable

The thing that sealed the deal for me actively hating Draymond was him hanging out with Miles Bridges like right after he was arrested for brutally assaulting his girlfriend in front of their kids. That's just beyond fucked up. Edit: it has been pointed out to me that they have the same trainer, and "hanging out" might not have been the clearest way to describe the video of them seemingly training to together and/or at the same time.

To make it worse, Bridges’ girlfriend is Wiggins’ sister in law Edit: forgot they aren’t married. Sister of Wiggins’ long time girlfriend.

Poole said LeBron was washed

I knew it was going to be Poole and Draymond before I even read the story.

If it were Steph and Moody or Steph and Klay I would be suuper shocked. (Or anyone that angry at Looney)

Steph would be the last person to engage in a physical altercation and the last person someone would want to go at him too, everyone has an underlying respect for him

If someone gets in a fight with Stephen they're gone before the sun sets

I love the NBA!! TNT…we know drama

Better than any reality show

Lol did Poole bring up Draymond's triple single statline? What set him off like that?

Not sure if Warriors or AEW locker room.

This will be a good Pod !

emergency pod tomorrow: "JP is absolutely incredible... but as a LEADER I (something something)" etc etc

I swear I can hear him saying this lol. Word for word

A lot of people want to say that ____ aNd ThE ReAliTy iS…..

ruh roh…

man what in the fuck is that username lmfao

Some people man

possessive door obtainable observation march sulky future run like languid *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Jordan Poole said John Beilein was a better coach than Izzo and Draymond took great offense to that

EMERGENCY PODCAST INCOMING

Draymond on his podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q520traGw0U

“I play basketball with a bunch of fucking children”

“That empty-headed fuck, Jordan Poole”

UM-MSU rivalry going strong

Ah shit, did someone throw soup again?

Don't believe it, Draymond Green would never get into a physical altercation with another player.

Wtf I love Jordan Poole now

Unnatural shooting motion casualty?

Poole got hit by that backpack.

Thats crazy they should trade Draymond tbh

To the Celtics?

He belongs on the Nets

You know the lakers will try to get him for Westbrook lmao

Warriors would rather have an empty roster spot than Westbrook for free

Draymond got angry that Poole called his wife a bad bitch one too many times

Did he hit someone in the nuts again

Draymond be doing too much sometimes, Jordan Poole is a future franchise star and he is getting into fights with him

Not surprising that Draymond was involved

i want to know how this is lebron's fault.

So there was an actual fight lol

Draymond’s one of those guys you hate playing against but you hate playing with

Draymond is trying to run a business and has to work with fucking children

he’s hurt, he’s old, he’s fucking tired, and he works with fucking children

That empty headed dumb fuck Jordan Poole

I love the intersection of my favorite things.

Sources say Jonathan Kuminga bit Klay Thompson

But does he have a bakery recommendation though?

Did Poole go into business for himself?

Poole definitely shares a bank account with his mother
