Reunion sequence tonight at the Chase Center with the big return of Jordan Poole on the scene of his first NBA exploits. Decisive in the year of the title, Stephen Curry's former understudy was transferred to the Wizards this summer, but given the reception given by his former audience, he left a lot of good memories.
“It was heartbreaking! It was really cool and really special to look back on these four years, on everything we accomplished” he reacted about the tribute video broadcast on the giant screens. “I’m grateful to Dub Nation. Not many people can say they won a ring here. It's really cool, really special. It’s definitely something I’ll remember.”
No Draymond Green
Was he moved? “The emotions were rather normal, rather contained”he assures. “I was just happy to be back, and I felt like I was family, and it was nice.” I had really gotten involved with Dub Nation during my time here, and it was really special to receive all that love in return. »
Draymond Green absent, Jordan Poole was able to take full advantage of the evening. We saw him in the arms of Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, but also Gary Payton II. Even among his former teammates, there was emotion, and Klay Thompson admitted to having had some chills while watching the video.
“It shows you how fast everything can happen in basketball” explains the “Splash Brother”. “It was great to see the fans’ reception to Jordan. He deserves it. It was like walking in the footsteps of the past…”
A great friendship with Kevon Looney
For his part, Jordan Poole appreciated the nice little words from Steve Kerr in the press, or on the field. “It was classy. Professional. it was just great to see everyone again. It’s a great group” underlines the back of the Wizards, author of 25 points on 7 of 21 shots in Washington's umpteenth defeat.
In this group, he has a special word for Kevon Looney, with whom he exchanged jerseys at the end of the match. “He always supported me. I love it. We talk to each other all the time and exchange ideas. This relationship is very important to me because he has helped me throughout my time here. A big thank you to Loon! “.
