“Woke as much as nice information! I dont usually touch upon contracts, however this ones totally different. I went from scrimmaging towards @jordan_poole in non-public Bay Space runs to turning into Gleague teammates to seeing him win a championship to a contract extension.
Adversity and “demotions” just like the GLeague reveal somebody’s character. Its not simply bc I noticed JP beast the GLeague. Its bc I noticed him do it with a pure love of the sport AND a real selflessness to root for his teammates thats compelling me to write down this put up. A tough-earned, a lot deserved new deal 💰💸”
