Stephen Curry Embraces 2X NBA Champ After Spoiling Jordan Poole’s Warriors Return

The Golden State Warriors hosted the Washington Wizards at Chase Center in their most recent matchup. The entire arena gave former Warriors player Jordan Poole a heartwarming tribute video before the game. But the Warriors had the last laugh.

Stephen Curry and Golden State managed to spoil Jordan Poole’s return to Oakland. And after the game, Curry had the chance to meet this two-time NBA champion and Lakers legend at Chase Center.

Stephen Curry meets Lakers legend

The Golden State Warriors took care of business on their home court, defeating the Washington Wizards 129-118. As always, Stephen Curry led the way for the team, but got some great help from his teammates on the offensive end of the floor.

After the game was done and dusted, Curry had the opportunity to meet the Los Angeles Lakers legend and two-time NBA champion, Pau Gasol. Curry and Gasol shared an embrace right after the final buzzer in the tunnels.

Curry addressed a few fans first and then went on to hug Gasol as the two walked down the tunnels sharing a conversation with one another.

Curry has had the opportunity to share the court with Pau Gasol. Though the two never played on the same team but have often butted heads against one another during the course of their careers.

After the game Curry had, one can be sure that Gasol must’ve had a few good things to say about his performance on the floor. Gasol played 18 seasons in the league with five different teams.

He was a six-time All-Star and had also won the Rookie of the Year award as well. So, both Curry and Gasol must’ve had a blast catching up with one another after so long.

Curry and the Warriors with the last laugh

The Washington Wizards surely put up a good fight against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, the Wizards were led by none other than Jordan Poole, who had 25 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds for the game.

Unfortunately for Poole, it was Stephen Curry and the Warriors who were not ready to get the game away from them. Curry led the team with 30 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds for the matchup.

He also got a huge boost from both Klay Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga, who has been shifted into the starting lineup amid Draymond Green’s suspension. While the Warriors may have ruined Poole’s homecoming, the team was more than welcoming to Poole prior to the game.
