Jordan Poole Blooper Is Going Viral In Wizards-Pistons Game

Jordan Poole had his shot blocked during Monday's game.

On Monday evening, the Washington Wizards are in Michigan facing off against the Detroit Pistons.

During the first half, Jordan Poole had a nice move to create an open shot.

However, Poole decided to try to scoop the ball toward the basket and got his shot swatted out of bounds by Ausar Thompson.

The play is going viral on social media.
