Jordan Poole has been simply sensational in the 2021-22 season for the Golden State Warriors.

Entering the first-round series against Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets, Poole is surely giving the taste of his best version.

In Game 1 vs the Nuggets, Jordan Poole stole all limelight as he registered 30 points against his name yet the opposition seemed to have not learnt their lesson as they gave him enough spaces to shoot in Game 2 as well. Given the opportunity, Jordan Poole decided to once again haunt Denver as he knocked 29 points and even entered Wilt Chamberlain territory in an epic manner.

Well, a tally of 59 points in their first 2 playoff games, never hampers the approach a player. Similar is the path of Jordan Poole, who seems to be matching legendary Wilt Chamberlain. Look at the stat below.

Chamberlain, who many consider as one of, if not the most prolific scorer in history, scored a total of 63 points in his first two postseason appearances for the Dubs. Poole was just five points short of breaking that record. He actually came close too, and he probably would have smashed the record if this weren’t a blowout.

Even though he did not surpass Wilt, the mere fact that Jordan Poole is being mentioned in the same breath as one of the GOATs is an undeniably huge honor. Not even Chef Stephen Curry reached these heights during his first postseason run. This just speaks volumes of how outstanding Poole has been to start the playoffs for the Golden State Warriors.

That being said, the Golden State Warrior shave showcased their true potential in the first 2 games of the playoffs, will they be able to keep the spirit and showmanship up even in Denver? Remains to be seen as Nikola Jokic would be itching to make his way back after being ejected painfully in Game 2.
