BREAKING: Jordan Poole Says He Misses Dub Nation – And He's Open to a Shocking Return to the Warriors
In a surprising and heartfelt interview that’s sending shockwaves through the NBA world, former Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole admitted that he sometimes finds himself longing for the Bay Area – and he’s not ruling out a return to the team that made him a champion.
“There are nights when I’m in D.C., and I’ll be watching old clips from Chase Center... the energy, the fans, Steph doing his thing, Draymond yelling at everybody – I miss all of it,” Poole said, cracking a nostalgic smile.
“Golden State was more than a team. It was home.”
But what truly caught fans off guard? Poole revealed that he still keeps his 2022 championship jersey hanging in his bedroom, and even texts Klay Thompson after big games — “sometimes just memes, sometimes just ‘yo I miss y’all.’”
Sources close to Poole say the rift with Draymond Green — which many believe led to his trade — has cooled. According to one insider, the two have spoken privately multiple times this season, even sharing dinner at a quiet sushi spot in Los Angeles over All-Star weekend.
“I’m older now. We all are,” Poole said. “We had our moments, but that team was something special. If the call comes... never say never.”
He also joked that he misses Steve Kerr’s dry sarcasm, and revealed he once accidentally called Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. “Coach Kerr” during a timeout. “Everyone just stared at me. I laughed it off, but in my head I was like... yeah, I miss the Bay.”
Could a Reunion Really Happen?
According to league insiders, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. has “never closed the door” on a Poole reunion – especially with the team actively reshaping its roster for another title run. And with the potential departure of veteran stars on the horizon, bringing Poole back into the fold could be part of a youth-driven retooling strategy.
A fan campaign on X (formerly Twitter), under the hashtag #BringPooleBack, has already begun trending in the Bay Area.
As one fan posted:
“He was young, wild, and full of potential. Maybe all he needed was to grow up a little. Let’s finish what we started, JP.”
Whether it’s this season or in the future, one thing’s for sure: Jordan Poole’s heart hasn’t completely left Dub Nation — and neither have the fans' hearts left him.
