‘$500,000 Date?’: First Austin Reaves and Taylor Swift, Now Jordan Poole and Ice-Spice- Debunking Outrageous Fake Rumors in the NBA

Jordan Poole started a new chapter of his career this season after he got traded to the Washington Wizards. The Golden State Warriors decided to part ways with the young guard following the drama between him and veteran Center Draymond Green. But several incidents that took place during his time with the Warriors continue to haunt Poole months after leaving the shadow of Stephen Curry. One rumor that has stayed with Jordan Poole is that he spent $500,000 on a date with famous rapper Ice Spice.

This is not the first time an NBA player has been rumored to be dating a famous singer. A few months ago, Lakers guard Austin Reaves shut down the rumors of him dating pop sensation Taylor Swift. After weeks of getting blasted by the NBA World, Jordan Poole finally came clean on the romantic rumors.

Jordan Poole addresses the Ice Spice rumors

Jordan Poole’s final season with the Warriors was not a great time for the 24-year-old guard. Not only was he accused of ruining the team’s chemistry, but he was also a part of several rumors off the court. After not playing well in one of the games during the playoffs, famous rapper Cam’ron blasted Poole for his performance on the “It Is What It Is” podcast and ignited a rumor about Poole and Ice Spice. “Jordan Poole, you spent $500,000 on an Ice Spice date. You’re a munch, and you’re playing like a fu**ing munch.” Cam’ron said on his podcast.

Weeks after getting called out by the rapper, Jordan Poole came clean about the crazy rumor. Poole was part of a meet and greet with fans this week. While getting a t-shirt signed, one young fan cut right to the chase and asked the Wizards guard if the rumors about him and Ice Spice were true. Poole denied the romantic rumors, saying, “Definitely not. Definitely cap.” Even Poole’s teammate, who was sitting beside him signing autographs, could not help but laugh at the interaction. Ice Spice is one of the most famous rappers in the world today, and she has produced several songs that are on the trending list. So, it is obvious that a rumor between her and Jordan Poole was likely to catch fire.

Can Jordan Poole be a leader of a franchise?

Jordan Poole had a solid start to his NBA career. He was lucky to have been picked by the Golden State Warriors, who were already a Championship caliber team before Poole arrived. The 24-year-old had an instant impact on the team, and he helped Stephen Curry and Co. win their fourth Championship in 2022. Poole averaged 15.8 points and 3.4 assists in his Warriors tenure. However, Poole’s great performance was also because he was not the primary scoring option in the Warriors squad. He could score buckets while defenders focused on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. But now, Jordan Poole has parted ways with Stephen Curry and Co. and is in charge of his own team.

The Washington Wizards have put their trust in Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma as their star players. Poole’s performance with the Wizards this season will determine whether he can be the leader of a franchise or not. Poole is already an NBA Champion at age 24, but he would love to win one more title with a team where he is the primary scorer on the roster. But Jordan Poole and Co. have had an abysmal start to the season. They have lost five of their first six games and are sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Poole is averaging 18.5 points and 3.7 assists so far this season.
