Jordan Poole: hero and cat lover - NY Times Article
We all love Jordan Poole. We also know that he is a very unique guy. This fluff article will only endear him to you even more - if that's possible. Excerpts:
“He wears Capri pants and cat T-shirts,” Robinson said. “He’s obsessed with cats. What other college basketball player do you know that goes around wearing cat shirts?”
One in particular was his favorite: a cat acquired when Poole was a young boy. The cat died during Poole’s senior year in high school, but Poole grew animated on Saturday while discussing their years together.
“His name was Bling,” Poole said, pointing emphatically to a reporter’s notebook. “Put that in there.”
I hope you enjoy the story. Go blue tomorrow night!

I may adopt a cat this summer. Maybe two. It's time.
Don't pretend you haven't already thought of names for your new feline friends. Unfortunatley "Jordan" won't work for obvious reasons. But maybe "Mr. Pooley Pants?" or "Big Shot J" or "JimBo HarPaw?"
Please don't leave us hanging. Need names for hypothetical cats!

The local Humane Society in Ann Arbor does a yoga class with cats running around the room. My wife is a big MBB fan, and met Jordan there last summer. It makes sense now.

The Athletic has a much longer piece up as of an hour or so ago. Here's the link: https://theathletic.com/detroit/
HOWEVER, be aware that the The Athletic is subscription based and this piece is likely paywalled.

As the owner of three cats (and a dog that the cats don't always enjoy), I am liking this kid more and more now. Although, I do not have any cat t-shirts, but I certainly will not knock those that do. They are, after all, awesome animals when they aren't being a jerk to something or someone (and even then, it is sometimes adorable).

He can love ferrets, as long as he knocks down big shots!

The thing I really like about this team is that he is one of many cogs.... each player contributes....
But even as the legend of Poole grew on the court, he knew his celebration would be short-lived. It was already early Sunday morning, and he had a paper and a presentation to complete for a class in Greek mythology.“It’s due Monday,” Poole said. “Got to grind and knock it out.”
We come to play school.
Among other things.
