Like many fans and observers, Kevin Garnett, former interior player for the Boston Celtics, is very disappointed with the start of the season for Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole. Traded in the offseason by the Warriors in exchange for Chris Paul, Poole is more often highlighted for his escapades than for his performances on the floor. And that has the gift of annoying the 2008 NBA champion.
Like those of his team this season, 14th in the West with a record of 2-12, the debut of Jordan Poole to Wizards proves to be very difficult. The back has a string of poor performances, even to the point of arousing the anger of a Hall of Famer who questioned his place in NBA : « Jordan Poole? He wants to be anything but a basketball player. I saw the clip from the timeout where he was talking to his teammates instead of looking at the system in place. He’s not a leader, no one on the team listens to you. If you tell them you have to dive on the field they’ll look at you like: ‘What?!’ ” dropped Kevin Garnett in a discussion with Paul Pierce.

Garnett furious over Jordan Poole
« He flexes with his ring. He’s like: ‘I’m a champion, you have to listen to me’ » retorted Pierce before Garnett don’t get carried away: “ You show off because you won a title, but you don’t bring the mentality of a champion to where you are! Is that what you learned at Golden State, man?! Is that what you got out of your time there?! You’re not professional at all! They kicked you out of there because you didn’t want to follow the rules. Jordan Poole has no place in the league! He doesn’t deserve to be considered the leader of a team », Continues the former Celtics interior.
“He doesn’t respect anything”
« I wouldn’t let my son near someone like him. Have you seen how he talks to his teammates? “Shut up dude, it’s MY TEAM, I’m in charge!” “You can say whatever you want about me, but I have never disrespected the sport the way he does. I have never lacked consideration for my status as a leader. I’m disappointed in Jordan Poole, I thought we were going to see the Poole Show […] He doesn’t respect anything. » Suffice to say that when Kevin Garnett has reproaches to make, he does not hold back.
