[Haynes] Draymond Green was apologetic in aftermath of the altercation with Jordan Poole, but there was a buildup stemming from teammates noticing a change in Poole’s behavior throughout camp with the guard on the verge of securing a lucrative extension, league sources tell @YahooSports . News

u/nomadofwaves NBA Oct 06 '22
My GF works for a local city government and there’s fights at the community center over basketball all the time.
The best story is these two dudes fighting in the parking lots both drop their phones during the fight then someone tells them the cops are on the way so everyone runs and leaves. Cops show up find their phones on the ground and take them. Later the guys showed up looked for their phones for almost an hour and then went to the front desk and asked if anyone turned any phones in and the lady at the front desk was like “no one turned them in but the police said you can go up to the police station and get them back.”

Also there’s the AAU teenagers who chuck from half court 99% of the time and both groups despise them.

He won a ring in the most ego-boosting way possible.
Their losses for the run had all the blame placed on curry/Klay/dray/Wiggins and any blame directed at him can be waved off by “it’s his first ever playoffs give him some slack,”. If he does well it’s “wow his first ever playoffs, and he’s already providing much needed scoring on the biggest stage against the best defense in the league”.
Can’t blame him though, first ever playoffs and averaged 65% TS is kinda good.

Gotta consider Poole is a new addition relatively. To him, he helped bring them out the mud and to a championship. But guys like Igoudala and Looney who’ve been there know that the team was never actually bad, they just took a year off between multiple injuries.
Poole might think they need him because he was bad when they were bad, and when he got good they won a chip. But every other guy sees the 3 rings before and knows the Warriors system is much greater than a single Jordan Poole level player.

GS record 2014-2015 to 2018-2019: 322-88. Curry played in 87% of those games.
GS record 2019-2021 to 2020-2021: 54-83. Curry played in 50% pf those games.
It's obviously not a 1-to-1 measure, but if Poole really thinks he played as big as role as you say (and that's a big if imo), he's either dumb as a rock, narcissistic as hell, or both.

I don’t think he sees himself as ‘the man’. But I think his scoring prowess inflates his ego to the point where he may believe he’s what Klay was in the early days as the 1B scorer and key piece. Whereas us watchers would probably rank it as of now Curry, Wigg, Dray, then Poole, and then slightly washed Klay/Looney.
And the stats kind of support what I said from his perspective. When Curry was out and Poole was absolute dogshit, the Warriors were awful. Then Curry comes back and Poole becomes solid, and they win a chip. I think it’s very possible Poole gives more weight to the ‘I got better’ part of that equation, whereas most people would put it nearly 100% on Curry coming back.
