Jordan Poole had a breakout season with the Golden State Warriors last season and is now an integral part of the team.
In Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Jordan Poole had an overall great game. But he made headlines for missing a potential game-tying shot in the fourth quarter. An NBA fan on Twitter hilariously claimed that Poole only attempted that shot because actress Jessica Alba was present courtside.
“N***a Jordan Poole saw her courtside and thought he could make that s**t.”

Jordan Poole has an image of playing basketball at an elite level whenever beautiful women are present in the arena.
Keeping that long-running joke in mind, Poole, the fan, made the joke. Well, whatever be the intention behind that shot, JP disappointed the Warriors fanbase by missing the three-point attempt.
Stephen Curry Was Disappointed After Seeing Jordan Poole Miss A Potential Game-Tying Three-Pointer vs. The Lakers
Jordan Poole finished the game with 21 points, 6 assists, and 1 steal to his name. But all his hard work was overshadowed by a single mistake in the clutch during Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Considering the shot could have sent the game to overtime, its value cannot be understated. With that being said, the leader of the Warriors, Stephen Curry, had an extremely defeated reaction to the shot.
Sure, Poole was in no position to pass the ball to Curry, but he could have waited a couple of seconds before firing the long-range shot.
The Warriors lost Game 1 of the series 112-117 and will be hoping to take revenge against the Lakers in the next game.
But for that to happen, the Dubs will need to find a way to stop Anthony Davis from dominating on the defensive end of the floor. AD was the difference maker in the game, as he had a phenomenal 30-point double-double.
