@Endgameblack391Feel free to indentify a free one. See also WP:NBAIMAGE.—Bagumba (talk) 06:59, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BIASED[edit]

The last sentence of the article says that he "shoved" Draymond Green, who then punched him, making it sound like Poole is the aggressor. That's an egregiously mendacious description of what happened, evidently a deliberate distortion. Pretty close to a damned lie. Everyone knows, and has been able to see on a viral video, that Green started it by stalking up to and then chest bumping Poole. All Poole did was shove Green away-- actually, since Green weighs about 50 pounds more, what Poole did was shove HIMSELF away. Then Green threw an extremely violent punch as if he was trying to kill Poole. It was Green, not Poole, who had to take time away from the team, apologize, and pay an undisclosed fine. Somebody please correct this. 2600:6C50:800:2787:143C:BDF:FAB3:F528 (talk) 00:41, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
