Jordan Poole is the perfect example of the same. Most fans and pundits view Jordan Poole as the person to take over the baton from Stephen Curry once he decides to hang up his boots. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/warriors\/\">Warriors<\/a> have also placed a lot of trust in him by offering him a four-year contract extension toward the end of 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordan Poole was drafted as the 24th overall pick in the first round of the 2019 draft by the Golden State Warriors. Poole represented Michigan in college and played college basketball for two years before he declared for the draft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The altercation with Draymond Green\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GrCdOh59Puw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the pre-season before the 2022 season, Jordan Poole got into a heated argument with teammate Draymond Green. After a few words were exchanged, Green lept forward and unloaded a right hand from hell that knocked Poole out unconscious. Green apologized for the incident, but this was the first time in recent memory that such an incident has occurred between two teammates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Massive contract\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-416612\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image03-6.jpeg\" alt=\"Jordan Poole \" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image03-6.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image03-6-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image03-6-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image03-6-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image03-6-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On October 15, 2022, Poole signed a four-year contract extension worth $140 million with the Warriors. This makes him one of the highest-paid players not just on the team but in the NFL period. Given that he is only 23, if he keeps up this level of performance, the checks are only going to get bigger from here on out for Poole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Idol growing up\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-416613\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image04-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image04-5.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image04-5-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image04-5-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image04-5-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image04-5-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, Jordan Poole was a big fan of LeBron James and considered him his idol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Car fanatic\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-416614\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image05-3-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordan Poole currently owns a matte black Porsche Panamera and considers himself a petrol head.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Splash brother\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-416615\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image01-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image01-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image01-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image01-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2023\/01\/image01-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given how his skills are similar to that of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, some basketball media writers have branded him the &#8220;third Splash Brother&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/top-five-things-you-did-not-know-about-four-time-nba-champion-andre-iguodala\/\">Top Five Things You Did Not Know About Four-Time NBA Champion Andre Iguodala<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/where-to-stream-nba-games-this-season-updated-schedule-for-espn-tnt-nbatv-abc\/\">Where To Stream NBA Games This Season: Updated Schedule For ESPN, TNT, NBATV &amp; ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/top-five-things-you-did-not-know-about-nba-superstar-russell-westbrook\/\">Top Five Things You Did Not Know About NBA Superstar Russell Westbrook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/top-five-things-you-did-not-know-about-nba-superstar-draymond-green\/\">Top Five Things You Did Not Know About NBA Superstar Draymond Green<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors have a good mix of old established stars as well as up-and-coming talents to look out for.
