Jordan Poole recalls 'point guard' Loon he knew in high school

Before he became a star in the Bay, Warriors big man Kevon Looney was kind of a big deal in Milwaukee.

In fact, his teammate and former high school adversary Jordan Poole remembers him by a different name.

“He’s a different player now. He was a different player back then - he did everything,” Poole told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Kerith Burke on the latest episode of “Dubs Talk.”

“The Loon that I know is point guard Loon.”

Looney and Poole are both champions after helping the Warriors win the 2022 NBA Finals, but they’re also both alumni of Milwaukee Public Schools

Poole recalled playing against Looney for the city conference championship, where “point guard Loon” had the entire gym rocking.

The mayor was even there to watch Looney, Poole told Burke, as the then-high schooler attempted to break an area record.
