Last night, Jordan Poole faced the New York Knicks at Capital One Arena, with apparently Rubi Rose in Washington DC. We don’t know if she actually attended the game, but NBA fans didn’t miss the opportunity to mock him after she said she was in DC last night.
Usually, when beautiful celebrities attend the game, Jordan Poole is always great… but not this time.
The young Wizards star failed to deliver an exceptional performance. He finished the game with 8 points and 4 assists, but his scoring inefficiency was more pronounced. He made just 2-of-11 shots from the field and failed to convert any of the 6 three-point attempts.

The Wizards fans even started booing him when he was called for a clear travel.

After another bad game, NBA fans think Jordan Poole lost his aura and they couldn’t wait to call him out, especially linking him with Rubi Rose.
“Draymond punched the talent outta him” – One NBA fan jokes about his recent performances, suggesting that Poole seems to have lost his skills, akin to the Monstars in Space Jam.
“It’s crazy these are all from one game” – Another fan added, commenting on Poole’s poor decision-making and shot selection, a recurring issue during his current slump.
“Most of us would forget how to even breathe” – Other fans defended him, suggesting that nerves in front of Rubi Rose might have affected his performance, although not confirmed during the game.
“The 30-footer to a turnover to a blocked shot in back to back-to-back plays really got me mad.”- Said a fan once again, highlighting how Poole’s decisions are being questioned amid his attempts to find success in DC.
“Jordan Poole has to be acting. Playing horribly so the Wiz trade him.” – A fan expressed skepticism after rumors surfaced that Washington may be looking to trade him just a couple of games into the season.
“Second time he’s done this” – Another fan pointed out remembering a similar instance when he threw an alley-oop to Kyle Kuzma down 21 in Atlanta in front of Rubi Rose for the first time.
“Keep working Poole they gone keep hating” – A fan defended Poole’s recent struggles, expressing hope that he’ll turn things around and become an elite scorer in Washington.
“Golden State broke that man’s spirit trading him” – One fan voiced an opinion that Poole seemed disengaged in Washington from the first day he arrived at the franchise, possibly indicating the impact of leaving Golden State.
Recent Video Shows How Deeply Unserious Jordan Poole Is
Before the game against the Knicks, the Washington Wizards faced the Brooklyn Nets, where a video captured Jordan Poole’s apparent lack of interest in the coaching staff’s game plan. He repeatedly looked away during a timeout, ignoring the play call while other players focused on understanding the next possession.
In the current NBA season, Jordan Poole finds himself facing a challenging phase with the Washington Wizards. Despite his impressive track record, the statistics reveal a notable dip in performance. Poole has averaged 15.5 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.5 rebounds over the course of 12 games, with a field goal percentage of 39.2% and a three-point percentage of 27.8%.
A sharp contrast emerges when comparing this season’s numbers to his remarkable performance in the 2022-23 season with the Golden State Warriors. During that period, Poole showcased his scoring prowess, averaging 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.7 rebounds across 82 games.
Despite the statistical decline, what’s capturing more attention this season are Poole’s viral lowlight clips. Rather than being celebrated for his on-court achievements, he is gaining more visibility for moments that showcase the struggles and challenges he’s currently navigating.
