In a light-hearted moment during last night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Washington Wizards, Gary Payton II pulled a prank on his former teammate, Jordan Poole, by untying his shoe while the Warriors were at the free-throw line.
Poole, noticing his untied shoe, immediately complained to the referee, prompting Payton II to respond with a cheeky comment:
“He told you something… He may be lying . How do you know he is not lying?”
Gary Payton II untied Jordan Poole’s shoe at the free throw line tonight and accused Poole of lying about it when the ref confronted him regarding the situation.
