Who are Jordan Poole Parents
Jordan Poole, the NBA player born on June 19, 1999, is the son of Anthony Poole and Monet Poole. Both of his parents were athletes in their younger years.
Anthony Poole
Jordan’s father, was a footballplayer in high school and later attended the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He had initially planned to join the Milwaukee Police Department but decided against it due to his wife's concerns about the dangers of policing. Instead, Anthony worked at UPS, where he eventually became a manager. He also coached an AAU basketball team called Wisconsin Playground Elite, which Jordan played for as a young athlete. Anthony played a significant role in Jordan's basketball development, often pushing him hard to improve his game.
Monet Poole
Jordan's mother, was also an athlete during her high school years at Washington High School in Milwaukee. After graduating, she attended the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where she met Anthony. Monet now works as a social worker, currently employed as a case manager at the Eisenhower Center in Milwaukee. Monet was strict about Jordan’s free-throw shooting when he was young, making him do push-ups for missed shots, which helped him develop discipline and skill.
