Jordan Poole, the Golden State Warriors’ rising superstar earned quite a big contract from the Golden State Warriors during the last offseason. The 23-year-old signed his name onto A 4 year, $128 million deal with his franchise as per Sportrac, and has made sure he is rolling in some serious dough for a while. And of course, given the star’s image as a bit of an irresponsible playboy now, there were countless rumors of the man now contacting celebrities for dates. And apparently, one struck home a lot harder than any of the others. Recently, there have been serious rumors of the Warriors man going on a date with rapper Ice Spice (Real name: Isis Naija Gaston). And as many articles on the topic would have you believe, Poole dropped an insane $500,000 on this date. But really, how true are these ‘reports’?

What are the rumors about Jordan Poole and Ice Spice?
Jordan Poole is a professional athlete playing for the Golden State Warriors, of the National Basketball Association (NBA). For high school, he attended Milwaukee’s Rufus King High School and Indiana’s La Lumiere School. In 2016, he was selected first-team All-Wisconsin (Junior year). Additionally, he won the 2017 Dick’s National High School as a senior. For college, the man went to the Michigan Wolverines. Here, he was a big part of the 2017-18 team that won the Big 10 tournament and got all the way to the national championship game.
Now in the NBA, Jordan Poole only got to the league after taking some time to develop on the Golden State Warriors’ G League affiliate, before breaking out into the franchise’s NBA rotation. Now, he has played 4 seasons in the NBA and is looking to win the NBA championship, as he did with the 2021-22 Warriors. ‘Poole Party’ also led the entire league in free-throw percentage during that season.
All the stories on this rumor trace back to one primary source, Media Take Out. And as per this company, Jordan Poole not only went out with Ice Spice on a date but also spent $500,000 on it.
All this money allegedly went into buying the rapper designer goods from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and from other stores in that same luxury category, again as per Media Take Out. But it didn’t stop there. Instead, he allegedly bought her a Maybach truck too, very much a luxury vehicle, as per the very same website.
In the end, it was labeled as a ‘shopping date’ by Media Take Out. However, it is now time to really address where all this started, and how true the whole thing really is.
The Origins and the Likelihood
The Jordan Poole Ice Spice dating rumors started when one of the many troll accounts of NBA Twitter. And the one that was the genesis of this wildfire, was @ButtCrackSports, whose tweet you can take a look at below.
Of course, in the tweet, there is no figure as to how much was spent or anything else. However, it was enough to get people going. And that is precisely why the reports by Media Take Out highlighted in this article need to be taken with an oceanic grain of salt. Frankly, we doubt that the reports are even the slightest bit true.
However, giving this company the benefit of the doubt, we’ll say that while it is possible that Jordan Poole and Ice Spice went out on a date, it is beyond likely that several details are being exaggerated here. Especially the $500,000 he allegedly dropped on this date.
