Jordan Poole has been the target of the joke on the Golden State Warriors roster lately. Regardless of the situation, the former most improved player of the year candidate plays exceptionally well for the team. Poole has also drawn comparisons to his predecessors of the Warriors team. GSW has a lot of pressure coming into this series as defending champions and JP’s game is very important at this.
Coming back to the initial topic, the reigning NBA Champion has had the entire world questioning his motives during games. Allegedly, Jordan Poole, even though he is very good, only plays well around good-looking women. During Game 2, Dune actress Zendaya was present in the arena. Known for her looks, the actress didn’t seem to affect Jordan. Fans were baffled that her charm never worked on Poole. Here are a few reactions.
Jordan Poole did not go off.

They made it very clear that Poole either didn’t notice her or wasn’t interested in the actress. One fan said, “Jordan Poole did not go off. Zendaya, not Poole’s type confirmed.” Either way, Jordan would not have had a chance with Zendaya as she is apparently taken. She is currently rumored to be dating Tom Holland, one of the biggest movie stars around. Holland is famous for his iconic role as Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spiderman.
The Warriors succeed in an epic showdown despite Jordan Poole’s underwhelming performance
Fans are probably excited to see a Stephen Curry versus LeBron James series once again. The thought about it brings back memories of the four finals appearances they played against each other. But nobody expected ‘Game 6 Klay Thompson’ to arrive this early in the series. The Los Angeles Lakers took Game 1 of the series all thanks to Anthony Davis. AD had an exceptional game with 30 points and 23 rebounds. But the Warriors came back stronger in Game 2.
Thompson stole the show scoring 30 points along with 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Steph also had a great night as he took over facilitation last night. He recorded 20 points and 12 assists shooting 7-12 from the floor. The Lakers fell short of a victory by 27 points as Davis could not carry the same momentum in Game 2. He had only 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in 33 minutes of game time.
LeBron James somehow maintained his usual stat line finishing with 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Lakers lacked shooting last night in which the Warriors dominated. Golden State shot 21 of 42 three-pointers attempted while the Lakers sat at 29.4% on 34 attempts.
The exciting part of the series is that Curry and James are playing against each other. Both players tend to get hot under pressure. It was a similar result when the Warriors took on the Kings and the Lakers played against the Grizzlies. LeBron and Steph had incredible close-out games. This series is tied 1-1 and both teams now enter a best-of-five situation.
