Jordan Bell reminisces on his time with the Warriors

In the recent episode of the Tidal League, Jordan Bell joined the cast to provide insights into the Warriors’ leadership dynamics. Not only did he get to share the court with the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green, but the former Oregon Duck also got a glimpse of a side of his teammates that is often unknown to many. Bell was pleasantly surprised to discover how humble Stephen Curry is, despite being one of the biggest stars in the league. “Steph don’t know he Steph. He is just like a regular dude who’s just like a respectful man” gushed Bell.

Bell was unprepared for the warm reception he received from Curry, but that’s simply a reflection of Curry’s genuine nature. This down-to-earth personality of Curry also sets the tone for how the rest of his teammates behave towards other players. It’s not just Steph; Bell also unveiled a different aspect of Draymond Green’s personality, one that has been overshadowed by his recent on-court actions.

Green quickly took Bell under his wing, providing both support and care. When Bell couldn’t afford to buy himself an iPad, Green generously gifted him not only an iPad but also a laptop and a remote controller. Then, when Bell did not have suits to wear to the events, Green went above and beyond, supplying him with five suits. This support wasn’t limited to Bell’s time on the team; even after, Green continues to check in on him, offering valuable life advice. Despite Green facing criticism for his on-court behavior, Bell’s revelations shed light on a side of him that often goes unnoticed by many.
