Jordan Poole is one of the most fun players to watch in the NBA, particularly on offense. From his time with the Golden State Warriors up to today with the Washington Wizards, the shifty guard has wow-ed fans with his creative ball-handling and gutsy shot selection. Because of his flashy style of play, Poole has had his fair share of highlight-reel plays.
Against the New York Knicks on Saturday night, Poole added another clip to his NBA mixtape. While in transition, Poole's crossover caused Knicks guard Cameron Payne to slip and fall to the ground. After nailing the triple, the Wizards star added insult to injury by pointing at him.

Poole finished the game with 25 points on 9-of-17 shooting, making three of his nine three-point attempts and adding three rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, the Wizards guard committed five out of the team's 20 turnovers.
The Wizards ended up losing to the Knicks 122-103. Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Josh Hart combined for 67 of the Knicks' 122 points. It's also worth pointing out that the Wizards were without Khris Middleton, Bilal Coulibaly, and Corey Kispert, the latter two being ruled out for the rest of the season.
The loss drops the Wizards to a 15-55 record. They are on track to have the worst record in the league, giving them a 14% chance to get the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft.
