Kids are known for asking honest questions. No filter, no fear. Just vibes. And one young NBA fan proved that point perfectly when he looked Jordan Poole in the face and asked the one question everyone else avoids.
“How did you feel when Draymond Green punched you?” Yes. That question.
The moment was wild. Poole was expecting something safe. Maybe a question about shooting threes or favorite sneakers or how to make the NBA. Instead, the kid went straight for the emotional damage.
A little kid to Jordan Poole:

In a hilarious moment caught on camera, the Pelicans guard was asked how he felt when his face caught a punch from former teammate Draymond Green back in 2022.
“It’s tough, bro,” Poole said before the clip cut out, via NBA Centel on X (formerly Twitter).
The trajectory of Poole’s career changed dramatically after Green’s punch, so calling it “tough” might be an understatement.
The punch itself has become NBA folklore at this point. It lives rent-free in basketball history no matter how many games Poole plays and n matter how many teams he joins. That moment follows him like a stubborn shadow.
The kid walked away like a legend. No regrets, no second thoughts. Just pure confidence. He asked his question and lived his truth.
In the end, the moment reminded everyone why the NBA is entertainment beyond the court. Sometimes the best highlights don’t come from dunks or buzzer beaters. They come from kids with zero chill.
And somewhere, Draymond Green probably felt a disturbance in the force.
