Kind of absurd but it’s not like he didn’t contribute to that title. They don’t win it without him.
He averaged 13 points in the Finals while being a liability on defense. His only good series was round 1. Don't act like 50+ other players could have taken his place and GSW gets the same result.
They most likely do. He was a liability in the finals. He wasnt needed to beat the non contendersnin the west
It’s like you still have 10 good years to go maybe even more, if you think your legacy is good with a ring you won 2 years ago you are saying you don’t want to win no more, because somehow winning a ring with warriors is enough for you
What do you find absurd? Literally all he said is that winning a ring and being financially set means he can focus on enjoying his work.
Basketball media is crazy now. Poole's focused on the upcoming season, someone asks him what he thinks about being in Washington, he answers "Yeah I like it here, already got a ring, got paid, gunna play ball" probably with the same level of thought as if you asked what he wants for lunch that day
Some random journalist puts out a 2,000 word essay of Jordan Poole legacy quotes and then social media talks about how he's just a bus rider
I mean he is just a bus rider he just admitted himself lol
I don’t think his legacy is “taken care of”. He can go down as a guy that peaked for a season or two and never lived up to that. Or he could a star player the Warriors regret letting go. Or anywhere in between.
That was a weird title run i swear i remember steph and wiggins being the only good GS players those finals dray and poole both got benched at different points
People don't wanna admit it but draymond was kinda ass in the finals, He had some good moments no doubt but it was honestly Steph/Wiggins/Poole/Looney in the first 4-5 games, Shit even tho Klay didn't have the best performance he still had way more crucial shots to help them when they was down.
Steph did a lot that postseason even klay was meh in the finals. Wiggins was their second best player which I guess adds to the steph legacy for that season
Looney? Payton?
What about the other 95 games that year
Dray got benched for Poole at some points, like at the end of game 4.
JP played less and less bc of defense as the playoffs went on, but he was good in the 16 minutes he’d get vs the Celtics because his shotmaking was on fire.
Basically did what an ideal 6th man should do
JP averaged almost a cool 50-40-90 in the playoffs that year.. nothing to sneeze at
