In a?recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, Thompson opens up on his stance on Poole by appreciating the hard work he put in.?“I saw him go 2 for 15 in a game.

Klay Thompson also believes his contribution to everyone linked to the Warriors will hold the organization dear. “We wouldn’t have won the championship without him. He was so important to us when Steph went down. Jordan will forever be cherished in the Warriors lore just for what he did and help bring us back to where we needed to go,”?he said before wishing him the best for his future endeavors.
