Why does Jordan Poole keep his mouth shut? He is perpetually re-victimized and gets an incredible amount of criticism and bad press for a guy that hasn't made qn Allstars game and just played his balls of during a playoff run. He was the victim and it is like he is getting dragged through the mud 24/7 and he is just a B level player.

Didn’t seem to go great last time he opened it, can’t blame him

It feeds into the real housewives drama the NBA is going for. He probably is just told to keep the bit going.

He is making $30m a year to throw it off the glass to Kuz down 20.

Do you think that arguing with a bunch of idiots online like us or Draymond is going to make his life any better?

Lol right? Man got generational wealth to play the game whatever way he wants, fuck is there to talk about?

What a strange question

It's called professionalism, silly.

Played his balls off in a playoff run? I guess thats one way of describing a terrible performance

[–] EdwEd1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He makes a stupid amount of money and probably doesn't care about what people say about him

Why do you care?

"Why do I get so much criticism? I'm just a B-level player."

You should run a PR firm.

“They race me so hard”

Warriors fans trying to justify trading a really good player after the fact. Now they are stuck with Draymond who only functions as a player because the refs give him the longest leash of all time.

Poole has a lot of mental toughness.

Not so much on-court IQ.

[–] Patient_Jicama_4217@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because who cares about what Randoms have to say.. He is on the wizards and getting press sounds like a win

[–] Ok_Respond7928@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is being the bigger person. I think the more Dray yaps and yaps about it the better Poole looks. Say what you want about him on the court but dude seems pretty mature for the way he has handled all of this.

Re-victimized? He got punched in the mouth not sexually assaulted jfc

[–] Xsy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Keeping his mouth shut is actually based af.

[–] ShutterBug545@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s set for life financially, NBA champion, and he gets to do basically whatever he wants on a terrible basketball team, why would he care what people online say about him?
