Jordan Poole has been absolutely phenomenal for the Golden State Warriors this season. After starting the season as the starter, Poole has thrived in a bench role behind the returning Klay Thompson. His sweet moves and even sweeter shooting makes him such a special player. Against the Spurs, though, Poole had a bit of on-court trouble.
As Poole was bringing up the ball during the waning moments of their game against the Spurs, his arm sleeve started to slip. Eventually, the sleeve covered up his off-hand while he was dribbling. That forced the Warriors guard to discard his sleeve on the floor, which seemed like a good ideaâŚ
Well, up until Jordan Poole had an epic fail and slipped on that same arm-sleeve. Talk about a certified Shaqtin a Fool moment for the Warriors guard. (via ClutchPoints)

A Shaqtin honorable mention goes out to Draymond Green, who forgot how the physics of small clothing worked and tried to chuck the arm sleeve to the bench. Of course, with the sleeve being light as a feather, it failed to make it to the Warriors sideline.
While this was certainly a rather low point for Poole, his season has been full of peaks. He's become one of the top options on the Warriors behind Stephen Curry and Thompson, and for good reason. His ability to create off the dribble and knock down catch and shoot threes make him a perfect complement to the Splash Brothers. Coach Steve Kerr has heaped praise on Poole, giving him credit for stepping up to the plate.
âJordan has been amazing,â Kerr told ClutchPoints. âHeâs had a fantastic season. Heâs filled in for both Klay and Steph when theyâve been injured. Heâs come off the bench. Heâs done anything that weâve asked him to do.â
Poole will likely be prominent in the Warriors' playoff run, as his bench scoring will be invaluable for the team. One word of advice, though: ditch the arm sleeve. You don't want that cursed item on your person during the playoffs. Just replace it with a different sleeve to remove the bad juju or something.
