Jordan Poole has cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines at times for the Golden State Warriors this season and his attitude has been called into question.
A video has now gone viral of Poole getting into a heated exchange with Warriors coach Anthony Veeren and fans blasted the guard for his behavior.
A fan thinks Poole believes he is a superstar when he’s not.

A Warriors fan would rather have Poole be traded than have Veeren be fired.
I’d rather Poole get traded then Anthony Vereen be fired. He’s gotta know that he’s more expendable than AV

Poole won’t be a Warrior after this season following this incident as per one fan.

It is a bit unclear when exactly this incident took place. It seems to be either Game 1 of the first-round series against the Sacramento Kings or the last regular season meeting between the Warriors and Kings on the 7th of April. Whatever the case, concerns regarding Poole’s attitude are only growing with the passing day.
It is hard to say whether this incident had anything to do with it, but Poole struggled in the series against the Kings. He averaged just 12.0 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.3 SPG while shooting 33.8% from the field and 25.7% from beyond the arc. Teams will tolerate bad attitude on a player’s part as long as they produce on the court but if Poole continues to struggle and behave in this manner, his days with the team could be numbered.
Jordan Poole’s Troubling Behavior In Game 6
As said earlier, this is just another addition to the growing list of concerning behavior on Poole’s part. In Game 6 of this series, he rejected Draymond Green’s handshake and then proceeded to ignore Stephen Curry, who was seemingly trying to let him know that it wasn’t acceptable to act in that manner.
While his attitude toward Green, who had punched him before the season, is somewhat understandable, ignoring Curry certainly isn’t. Poole needs to mature a bit more and stop letting his emotions get the better of him. He also needs to start playing better, as the Warriors will need him to be close to his best if they are to beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
