Legendary rapper and Lakers fan, Snoop Dogg, appeared on ESPN's "First Take" to share his thoughts on the upcoming Lakers vs. Warriors series. Snoop took the opportunity to poke fun at Warriors guard Jordan Poole, stating, "We're gonna be probably doubling Steph. So somebody else is going to be open. Jordan Poole, keep shooting. I like the way you've been missing, brother." Poole has struggled with his shooting during the Kings series, averaging 12.0 points per game while shooting just 33.8 percent from the field and 25.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Aside from his jabs at Poole, Snoop Dogg expressed concerns about Klay Thompson, who he sees as a born Laker and diehard fan. Snoop acknowledged Thompson's potential to perform well against his beloved Lakers due to his inspiration to play harder. While Snoop Dogg may be biased towards the Lakers, his analysis of Poole's performance and Thompson's potential motivation cannot be disregarded. It remains to be seen how Poole and Thompson will perform in the highly anticipated Lakers vs. Warriors series.
