The account alleged that head coach Steve Kerr told Poole to \u201cstand up for himself\u201d and \u201cbe a man\u201d after Green had been challenging him in practice.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">According to the post, Poole responded by telling Green, \u201cyou\u2019re an expensive backpack for 30,\u201d a remark implying his success was tied to Curry. The story claimed this triggered Green\u2019s punch that was caught on video and leaked days later.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-c2cf7082366c42f785645880681e083a-in_content-1-container\" class=\"ad-slot styles_adSlot-in_content__BF6Wb\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-c2cf7082366c42f785645880681e083a-in_content-1\" data-google-query-id=\"CI255Y7Rqo8DFe6k2AUdCZwCnQ\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What Draymond Green Said To Jordan Poole In 2021\ud83d\udc40:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImma beat the sh*t out of you!
