A heated incident occurred between Jordan Poole and Draymond Green during last year’s pre-season workout. It became the talk of the town and raised questions about the Golden State Warriors team chemistry. The incident resulted in Green punching Poole in the face, which was caught on camera. The video became viral instantaneously, causing the two to be in the spotlight. Apparently, this incident had affected Poole’s game, and he wasn’t looking at his old self on the court.

The Championship team was knocked out of the tournament, and they drafted Poole to the Washington Wizards. This added fuel to the already burning tension between the two players. Recently in a Twitter outburst, Anthony Poole, Jordan’s father, unleashed his anger toward Green, accusing him of avoiding an apology.

Explosive Clash Causes Team To Suffer

The incident between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole during the preseason workout created a rift between the two players. Its impact on the team’s chemistry was pretty evident.

The team was not looking up to the mark and was struggling at every step. Poole also underperformed on the court, and eventually, the Warriors decided to trade him to the Washington Wizards. Green’s involvement in on-court scuffles is not new, as he was previously involved in a similar incident with former teammate Nick Young in the 2017-18 season.

Draymond Green addressed the Poole incident during an appearance on Patrick Beverley’s podcast. In a video snippet, Green explained that he does not typically get aggressive with his teammates and said that specific values as a player and a human being are important to him. He very smartly justifies his side of the story pointing fingers at Poole, indicating that it was he who instigated the altercation.

Now, after a year of the incident, Jordan’s father went on a Twitter rant to express his frustration regarding Green’s behavior.

Controversial Remarks Made By Anthony Poole

Draymond Green acknowledged the incident’s effect on team chemistry in an interview with Stephen A. Smith after the Warriors’ series loss against the Lakers. He mentioned that if the incident had not occurred, the team might still have been in the playoffs. Green also expressed regret, acknowledging that he could have helped Poole, who struggled throughout the season.

Although Poole tactfully avoided all questions about the altercation during press conferences and interviews. But his father was not happy with Green’s behavior and had a lot to say about the incident. He stated that Green had avoided him throughout the previous year and referred to him using strong language. He even refused to back down, harshly criticizing Green, calling him “soft as bi**h” and challenging him to meet in person.

The ongoing Twitter rant of Anthony Poole only made the situation worse between Poole and Green. As the drama goes on, the question is how is this going to affect the already bad dynamic between the players?
