Golden States Warriors guard Jordan Poole has been a sensation ever since his career-best score of 43 against the Toronto Raptors. Many fans claim that the young Poole could rise to the ranks of Stephen Curry. Moreover, fans are happy about Poole’s future with the Warriors, as they see a promising prospect in the making. Meanwhile, the star guard impressed the fans with another 40-pointer against the Portland Trail Blazers. But, one female fan’s reaction caught the attention of the online world.
In the absence of Curry, the Dubs camp had the likes of Poole, Clay Thompson, and Draymond Green on the court. Chef Curry is expected to return to the hardwood after an injury reevaluation, as per the latest official announcement.
