“Understand We’re All Human”: Klay Thompson Gives a Much-Needed Reassurance to 23-Year-Old Jordan Poole Before Warriors vs Jazz

Klay Thompson had some advice for his Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole recently. Thompson talked about Poole’s frustration before the game vs the Utah Jazz. The four-time NBA champion also relayed the advice that he gave to Poole after the game against the Los Angeles Clippers, which took place on November 23, 2022, at the Chase Center.

The Golden State Warriors faced the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. While the Warriors beat the Clippers by 124-107, Jordan Poole was seemingly not happy with his performance. The 23-year-old NBA star struggled to shoot and only scored 8 points in the game. Poole missed 12 of his 15 shot attempts and was 2-for-3 at the charity stripe. However, Klay Thompson decided his teammate needed a pep talk. The five-time All-Star apparently told Poole to keep playing with “great intentions and great confidence”.

Thompson said, “Understand we’re all human, we play 100 games a year. There’s gonna be stretches where you’re not your best, there’s gonna be stretches where you’re unstoppable. It’s just about staying even-keel through it all.”
