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...

Bill Russell Is Only The 5th NBA MVP To Pass Away After Kobe Bryant, Moses Malone, Wes Unseld, And Wilt Chamberlain

The NBA just celebrated its 75th Anniversary last season, showing that the league is much younger than most of the major sports leagues worldwide. As a result, most of the legends of the game are still around and are allowing younger players to get first-hand advice from them. Bill Russell was the most legendary player from the '60s and dominated the league by winning 11 championships in 13 years. He also won 5 NBA MVP awards in his era, proving that his defensive prowess is something that could catapult him to be an MVP despite never averaging more than 19 points a season. Russell passed away yesterday and became only the 5th NBA MVP in history to pass away. The first one to do so was Wilt Chamberlain in 1999, followed by Moses Malone in 2015, Kobe Bryant and Wes Unseld in 2020, and now Russell in 2022. These are legends of the game, and it is heartbreaking to know that they aren't amongst us anymore. This observation was made by Reddit user u/WeaponFactory. Chamberl...
