Fact Check: Did Jordan Poole actually call Draymond Green 'broke' and tell him 'I f*ck more b*tches'? Debunking viral rumors

The Golden State Warriors traded Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards after an eventful 2022-23 season. Poole was punched in the face by his teammate Draymond Green in preseason and later struggled in the playoffs.

The video of the punch was leaked to the public. Green was suspended by the team for the violent act but later returned to the starting lineup as Poole’s role with the team diminished.

Recent reports surfaced about what led to the punch. Sources claimed they knew what Poole said to provoke Green. The rumors, however, were false.

According to a report from "It Is What It Is," Poole was dishing out serious trash talk and pushing Green to the edge.

The report was actually fake and the reporter was duped by Ballsack Sports, a satirical Twitter account. Here's a clip from the show:

Here is the original report from Ballsack Sports:

The fake report went into vivid details. This may have been why it was circulated and picked up by other sources.

“He told Draymond Green, I f*ck more b*tches at Michigan State than you,” Poole allegedly said to Green during the sprints, according to the parody account.

The fake report said the back-and-forth began while the team was running sprints. The two players also went to rival colleges. Poole played at Michigan while Green played at Michigan State. The rivalry was falsely made part of the conflict.

"Don't worry about it, you'll be in Sacramento next year,” Poole allegedly said on the fake report. "Why’s your Twitter handle MoneyGreen if you broke, you not (sic) getting another contract."

Before he was punched, Jordan Poole went after Draymond Green and his bank account according to the fake report. He also said the Warriors would trade Green to another team this offseason.

According to the fake report, that was the last comment made before Green attacked Poole. The real leaked video showed Green land a mean punch while Poole’s defenses were down. Poole hit the floor after the punch.

What happened with Jordan Poole and Draymond Green this offseason?

Jordan Poole has unfollowed Green on social media after being traded, a further sign of their tarnished relationship.

Draymond Green got the last laugh. Jordan Poole and his contract were traded away to the Wizards. Meanwhile, the Warriors signed Green to a four-year, $100 million fully guaranteed deal this offseason.

The Warriors received Chris Paul in return for Poole in the trade. They will move forward with the players who won them four titles instead of pivoting towards younger, future prospects.
