Days After Drawing Parallels to James Harden, Jordan Poole Credits Stephen Curry and Co For Denying The Ex-MVP of 1st Ring

With James Harden covered up to his neck about not being professional, some praise is evident from the star player of the Washington Wizards. While being compared to the trade scenarios of James Harden and Gilbert Arenas, Jordan Poole made a revelation about Harden.

The former MVP could have won his first ring, or so Jordan Poole claims.

The Ring that Harden Lost to Warriors

In a recent article on Monumental Sports Network written by Chase Huges, some odd things and patterns have come to light. When asked about Poole?s offseason move to the Washington Wizards, Kevin Garnett went to the extent of claiming the former Warriors player to be the new James Harden.

Garnett stands by his claim when he explains how Poole now has a chance to undo the mistake, just like Harden did after leaving OKC. However, with criticism about the fact that the Kuzma-Poole-led team can?t win a championship, the probability seems low.

Poole, in an interview with Monumental Sport?s Network, said, ?I feel like he [Harden] did it in a really good way.”

“The team was behind him, the organization was behind him, and the coaches were behind him. That gave him trust and the confidence to go by himself. That?s what is going on over here…”

Poole continues: “If he [Harden] didn?t run into the Warriors one of those years, he might have a ring.”

Is Jordan Poole the New James Harden?

The Harden-Poole comparison is obvious for a few different reasons. A sentence that fits both Harden and Poole is that both players moved from contenders to rebuilding teams in an effort to save money. Not only that, both also adorn the No. 13 jersey and rock the beard look.

That?s the funny part; now comes the trade trajectory. The pattern is that when Harden was traded from the OKC to save money, he landed with the Houston Rockets, further winning an MVP title. Similarly, Poole got traded from the Warriors when the franchise wanted to cut costs. With the prediction that this move might not be a good one for the player, is he deemed to become the present version of Harden?
