Jordan Poole is arguably the most criticized player in the Golden State Warriors team since the Playoffs began. With numerous sub-par performances from the shooting guard, the fans are beginning to question his capabilities. The Warriors are facing an uphill battle in the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers. Without Poole, the Warriors are missing out on his shooting talents, which could easily give them an edge in the series.
With all the criticism, fans have even begged Poole’s rumored girlfriend, Kim Cruz, to attend the games. With the hopes of getting Poole back on track. The fans are left desperate, for Poole to get buckets for them. Nonetheless, things don’t look too good for Poole, he is averaging just 10 points per game in the postseason. However, there are rumors about Poole having a breakup with his rumored girlfriend, Kim Cruz.

In the latest post from Kim on Instagram, a fan believes that Poole and Cruz have had a breakup. “Jordan Poole lost a good one,” read the comment. Some fans wonder if that is the reason for Poole’s below-par performances in the Playoffs. Cruz has not attended any of the Warriors games for a while.
Fans have been blaming Poole for paying attention to “Baddies,” attending the Warriors game and performing for the team. He has played tremendously when he catches a beautiful lady in the audience. However, Poole has failed to play either in front of celebrities like Zendaya and Kim Kardashian in attendance. It could be possible that the breakup could be affecting Poole’s recent performances for the Warriors.
How did the Jordan Poole and Kim Cruz rumors surface?
The Rumor about Poole and Cruz dating each other has been a hot topic right from the beginning. Back in 2021, it all started when Cruz wore a t-shirt that hadn’t been released. According to Sideaction, “Jordan Poole is dating Kim Cruz. She was wearing one of his shirts that weren’t out exclusively yet at the time, every time she’s at his games she turns her comments off, they’ve been together for a few months.” It had “Golden State,” and “Poole Party” written on it.

Though the t-shirt was not out yet, the only possibility could be that Poole gave his t-shirt to Kim. In October of 2021, Kim posted some highlights of the Warriors-Lakers game. She posted a video of Jordan Poole shooting from the free-throw line in the third slide. Along with that, she turned off the comments for that post as well. All this led the fans to believe that something is indeed going on between the two.
