Steve Kerr Sends Message To Jordan Poole About Coming Off The Bench: “If Steph Curry Can Come Off The Bench, Anyone Can Come Off The Bench.”

One of the biggest stories for the Golden State Warriors this season has been the emergence of Jordan Poole. The Warriors' pick from the 2019 Draft has made enormous strides this season and has established himself as an extremely reliable option for Steve Kerr. Poole started the entirety of the Warriors' series against the Denver Nuggets, while Stephen Curry came off the bench.

But Jordan Poole has now gone back to coming off the bench, something Steve Kerr believes that every player on his team should accept. Steve Kerr addressed him bringing Stephen Curry back into the starting lineup in place of Jordan Poole. Kerr noted that if a superstar like Stephen Curry can accept coming off the bench, then every player on his team, including Poole, should be okay with doing the same.

Steve Kerr on Jordan Poole coming off the bench: "If Steph Curry can come off the bench, anyone can come off the bench."

"If Steph Curry can come off the bench, anyone can come off the bench."

Curry spoke about coming off the bench during the series against Denver, noting that he found it more important to be part of the Warriors' closing lineup. But when asked at the end of the series about his role as the proverbial 6th man for the Warriors, Curry noted that while he enjoyed coming off the bench and helping his team get past the first round, he did not want to continue coming off the bench anymore.

Jordan Poole has not shared his sentiments about coming off the bench once again.

But one has to imagine that if he's not saying anything it is either because he is okay with it, or he doesn't want to cause friction or turmoil within the team while they are still continuing their crucial playoff run. We will have an idea of Poole's feelings on the matter once the season is over and he has to decide whether he signs an extension with the Warriors.

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...

Chris Paul blows fifth 2-0 series lead of career, an NBA record, and the legacy birds are going to be singing

The Phoenix Suns were gutted by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 on Sunday, trailing by as many as 46 points in a 123-90 beating that somehow wasn't even as close as a 33-point margin would indicate. Chris Paul didn't make his first basket until the Suns were down by 40 at the 7:26 mark of the third quarter. He had one point at halftime. Finished with a completely useless 10 and a minus-39 for the game, the worst single-game point differential of his career. I don't want to make this about Paul's legacy. The Suns didn't lose because of Paul, though he surely didn't do anything to help them win. He was one of the five best point guards to ever play before this game tipped, and no, one game didn't change that. Paul's late-career surge has been a masterful chapter in a Hall of Fame career, and many of the playoff collapses to which he's been connected have been, at least to a degree, a product of some of the cruelest injury luck imagina...
