You can tell that Jordan Poole has become a pivotal part of the Golden State Warriors because fans of opposing teams now hold their breath when he gets the ball with only seconds left on the clock.
That is due to the fact that Poole has a tendency to take – and make – incredibly difficult three-point shots right at the buzzer.
He is definitely making a name for himself as one of the best buzzer-beaters in the entire NBA.

He did it again on Monday night.
As the third quarter came to a close, the ball was passed to Poole and he instantly put up a wild shot.
Sure enough, it sank through the hoop, giving the Warriors a lead headed into the fourth.
Unsurprisingly, the crowd went wild and Poole was rightfully fired up too.
It was another example of him being a wonderful role player for the squad.
Poole Party
Some people have said that Poole is the third Splash Brother.
That’s because he sometimes looks just like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson – he can take some ridiculous shots and, somehow, get them through the hoop.
On Monday night, Poole was good for 14 points, including going 50% from beyond the three-point line.
That helped the team an awful lot, especially because Curry was having an off night and didn’t land a single three-pointer.
The Warriors’ secret weapon has always been its deep roster.
For example, Poole wasn’t even a starter last night.
The team has a number of pros who can do some serious damage to the opposing team – it’s not just all about Curry.
Yes, they don’t always step up as they should – that’s been the case for most of these Finals.
But on Monday night, Poole and the rest of the Warriors’ role players were ready to make themselves known.
