Jordan Poole was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on June 19, 1999. The son of Monet and Anthony Poole.
He excelled across a number of sports, including football, baseball and basketball before a
conversation with his father prompted him to focus on a potential NBA career.
Speaking to NBC Sports about one incident after a basketball tournament when Jordan was 12 or 13,
his father Anthony shared his words of advice for his son.
His father Anthony said: “Hey, you say you want to go to the league. That tournament was good.
You did OK. But it was BS. You’re not putting in the effort to get where you want to get to. You’ll
be lucky if you’re an overseas player.’ “What Jordan did was go and write down
what I said. He took a thumb tack and put it on his bedroom door.
I could see it every time I walked past his room. He had it up there for about a year-and-a-half.”
Jordan played as a freshman at Rufus King High School in Wisconsin before he transferred to La
Lumiere School in Indiana for his senior year. He led the La Lumiere Lakers to a 70-52 victory
over Monteverde in the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals championship in 2017,
finishing with 13 points and hitting 3 of his 7 three-pointers.
Poole then played college ball for the Michigan Wolverines.
At Michigan, he was a member of the 2017–18 team that won the Big
Ten Tournament and advanced to that season's National Championship Game.
He went down in tournament history for making a game-winning buzzer beater three-point shot
in the second round of the 2018 tournament, allowing Michigan to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
NBA Career Poole was
drafted 28th overall in the first round of the 2019 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors.
Poole was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G-League.
In January 2020, Poole got called back to return to the Warriors lineup. He
then scored a then career-high 21 points in a 109–95 win against the Orlando Magic.
Starting shooting guard Klay Thompson would miss the entire season for the 2021 Warriors.
On March 4, 2021, Poole set a then career-high 26 points in a loss to the Phoenix Suns. Poole
beat out Otto Porter Jr. and Damion Lee for the Warriors' starting shooting guard spot,
while Thompson continued to recover. With the return of Klay Thompson from injury
to the starting line-up in January 2022, Poole began to play point guard in a three-guard system,
alongside both Thompson and Steph Curry. Although criticized when entering the league
for his lack of polish, Poole has developed into a dynamic and efficient scorer throughout his tenure
with the Warriors. In addition to his shooting ability, Poole is a prolific finisher at the rim,
frequently slashing to the basket using his ball-handling skills and speed while
being a good mid-range shot creator. His combination of abilities has
drawn comparisons to Warriors teammate Steph Curry, with some basketball media
writers calling him the "third Splash Brother". Now let’s see how Jordan Poole makes his Moola.
NBA Salary Jordan Poole signed a 4 year / $10 million dollar
rookie contract with the Golden State Warriors, including $10 million guaranteed, and an
annual average salary of $2.5 million dollars. In 2022-23, Poole will earn a base salary of
$3.9 million dollars in the last year of his rookie deal.
Thus, Poole’s the 11th highest-paid player on the Warriors this season.
Talk about the Warriors getting value. At the stage in his career, we think the Golden
State Warriors will definitely want to lock him up for a long time. We have heard that the team
wants to give him a multi-year deal that averages $20 million per year. Talk about getting a raise.
He hasn’t made an All-NBA or All-Star teams yet. But if he does in the next 2 years, he could be
eligible for an even bigger extension. Endorsement Deals
There is no information available regarding Poole’s endorsement deals.
Nevertheless, Poole is still young and is constantly improving his game. With his
exciting and flashy game, Poole will surely sign some major endorsement deals in the near future.
House Although we do not know much about
Jordan Poole's house, it is known that Jordan Poole bought a house in San Francisco. Doesn't
that show enough that Jordan Poole wants to be a permanent member of the Golden State Warriors?
For Jordan Poole, being home is the ultimate peace of mind.
In an interview with Jordan Poole in 2020, he says: “I take naps, I watch Netflix,
Hulu and play with my cats. Me and my brother and my roommate, we play games, watch movies
and go out on our balcony and just chill. Get a little bit of fresh air. That’s my life. “
Thus, Poole describes himself as a complete homebody.
Media Golden State Warriors
young star Jordan Poole, who is slowly gaining fame, has over 840k followers on Instagram.
Jordan Poole has an Instagram account,
but only to watch videos of cats. He doesn’t like to spend a lot of time online.
Apart from that, you can see a few Vlogs about Jordan Poole on Youtube.
This shows that Jordan Poole actually has a little fun off the basketball court.
Cats Everyone knows the Dog Whisperer, but Jordan Poole
is the Cat Whisperer. At least, according to his mom anyway. Poole is described as an avid lover of
cats. As the story goes, when Jordan was younger, he would train his pet cats as if they were dogs,
teaching them how to sit and fetch! Jordan grew up taking care of a cat named
Lizzie in Michigan. He had to leave her behind with his mom when he moved to Golden State.
So, when he got to the Bay he adopted two stray cats named Kota and Kai from a San Francisco
shelter. They are main coons which are a gentle but large breed that can grow up to 18 pounds.
He was super excited, and the cats were too. “Everybody think its’s weird that I like cats,
but, I think I like them better than dogs. They’re way more chill to maintain.”
Poole has also spent a lot of time volunteering at local animal shelters.
Love Life Jordan Poole shared
that he has a long-time crush on Zendaya. In case you are wondering, Zendaya is the
actress who plays MJ in the Spiderman Movies and also stars in the hit series Euphoria.
The baller has asked her out on a double date with his teammate, Klay Thompson,
and his former girlfriend. Both girls were from Michigan. But nothing came of it.
However, they do seem to be Friends. He has been pretty secretive about his life and
people have been wondering if he is dating anyone romantically. Jordan prefers to keep the details
of his personal life away from the media. He has been rumored to be linked with
Instagram Model Kim Crooz and Ashlyn Castro but nothing is conclusive.
Poole has stayed very tight-lipped whenever asked about his love life.
Also in an interview, he was also quoted as saying “Well, being single doesn’t make me a nerd”

doesn’t have a super flashy lifestyle, not yet a least. We may have to make another video about
his lifestyle as he evolves. But without any going further, let’s get into his net worth.
