“It was supposed to be Poole’s rookie season,” Lillard said. Curry is injured, the Warriors have a lot of players injured, they’re playing a bunch of young players. That’s when Poole did a step-back and hit a three-pointer facing me. And then he started talking trash to me, and he kept talking when I was shooting free throws. I turned around and I said, ‘Man, shut up. And then he was like, ‘You shut me up.’ ‘That’s what it means. I think I need to do something about it. That’s what I’m trying to say. Then we both started spraying each other, and I was spraying him like crazy.”

Lillard also said that because of this incident, he did not like Poole at first, but as he closely followed the latter, he became a fan of Poole.
