Coach Steve Kerr expects an ovation for Poole from the Chase Center crowd, but those tuning in for the nationally televised game will be watching for Poole’s revenge.“I really look at Jordan as a huge success story,” Kerr said. “It doesn’t happen often that the 28th pick works his way up to a key player on a championship team. Life-changing contract, it really couldn’t have gone any better.“I hate the way it ended. It’s really unfortunate how it all played out. You just wish that things could end on a more po...
