Prior to the season, much was made about the Rockets' point guard situation given the ACL injury sustained by Fred VanVleet. Thus far, Ime Udoka has shown increased trust in second year guard Reed Sheppard to handle the ball, which has eased those concerns for now. However, recently, former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague took to his Club 520 podcast to drop some advice for Houston on how to get better in that department. “They need to trade for James Harden… Tell James you want him to play like he was in Brooklyn. Be the point guard… Him and [Kevin Durant] being together… They got a real chance,” said Teague.
Dan Patrick: Jeff Teague on his podcast got into a discussion about Joker versus Shaq. How would they do against each other? They were talking about Shaq in Orlando would dominate Joker, but Joker with Shaq after that. Bbecause he's inside outside that he would probably drive Shaq crazy. Reggie Miller: Okay, let me first start saying, are we playing in today's rules or are we playing in Shaq's rules in the 90s, early 2000s? Like, which one do we get to do? Does Shaq get to get it in the post and turn? This was Shaq's favorite move and he got away with it today's game, he wouldn't be able to get away with that. So, which rules are we playing with? Patrick: Okay, if you said, let's play today's rules and I got Shaq at his peak and Joker at his peak. Who you got? Miller: I think Shaq dominates in any era. Let me start by saying that. So it it wouldn't matter. I just think they would put Shaq in a gazillion pick and rolls in today's game and get him out of the paint. Shaq would have to cover more paint. Now, I do agree. Orlando Shaq, who was nimble and skinnier and could run all day, I think he would thrive. I still think the most dominant of Shaq when he was in LA and much bigger, he would still have an effect on the game. How would he do versus Joker? I would love to see… I'm still going with Big Fella. Look, Shaq, he denied me on a lot of occasions.
Jeff Teague: I just figured it out. Jrue Holiday is going to Houston. Jrue Holiday going to Houston. Damn. Hey Jrue, get ready. Get your bags packed, brother. You going to Houston.
“The moment I said anything,” Teague began, recounting his own experience, “anytime you say anything about LeBron James, people call you and say, ‘hey man, you might wanna chill. I know you got some fun stories and s–t, leave LeBron alone.’ I’m like, ‘God damn.’ “I came on here and apologize, sorry. I’m talking — these real people, like, you know what I mean? Like, ‘hey (expletive), you were funny (expletive)’ and ‘you getting a little too funny.’ All right. My fault, brother. So, I know ain’t nothing getting by their whole camp. They run the league!”
It’s unclear what happened to the deal – if it’s still in the works or called off – but Gilbert Arenas revealed that not only was the deal real, Arenas was in talks with the same people. But Sharpe may have rejected it due to the terms (or he was referring to Sharpe’s previous podcasting arrangement). “This is what happened. Shannon Sharpe had a deal; he was asking for the $100 million, we all know, right? So I’m in a meeting and people who offered him the deal said, ‘We didn’t get to that price, he wanted that price, but this is the price we was at.’ And I said, ‘Wait, godd–n! He didn’t want $100 million.’ There we go.” According to Arenas, Sharpe wanted something like a three-year, $80 million deal. He also confirmed that it was for the entire Shay Shay Network, including Teague and Bubba Dub’s shows. As per the NBA legend, if Sharpe took the $100 million upfront, not only he, but also Teague, Chad Ochocinco, and Bubba would lose the revenue rights on their content.

Baillislife.com: Jeff Teague's response to Zion: "This is probably the dumbest press conference I've heard in my life. All of this is because of you. You choose to eat, be out of shape, all that. Now, all of a sudden, it's a contract year probably or looking for an extension. All of a sudden, he's in shape, and he said they believe in me. Fool, they gave you a max deal. They've been believing in you. They had to put a lot of options in his contract because you didn't believe in you. That's dumb as hell, that press conference is dumb." Now you decide to lock in and do what pro athletes do. Take care of themselves. Hell no, I'm off that, I ain't a fan no more. You get paid damn near $40 million a year to be in shape. I ain't trying to sound like an old head. It's just like you do a press conference and say, 'I feel the best I ever felt since college.' You chose to feel that way. You could have been like this for three years. I ain't hating. Get all the bread you can. C'mon, bro, you were the one damn near 300 pounds."
During this week’s episode of the “Club 520 Podcast,” retired ex-NBA guard Jeff Teague made an unflattering claim about the Indiana Pacers star Haliburton. Both Teague and Haliburton were in attendance during WWE SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. last month. However, Teague says that he tried to reach out to shake Haliburton’s hand at the event … only to get snubbed. “I put my hand out to shake Tyrese’s hand at the wrestling event,” said Teague. “He turned the other way. He faded me … His pops [John Haliburton] was cool though. His pops said [hello].”
Teague tried the test himself on a recent episode of his “Club 520” podcast. His run didn’t start out so well, with former teammates PJ Tucker, Georges Niang, and Josh Okogie all ignoring his calls. But Teague eventually got Niang to pick up on the second try and also received a callback from John Lucas III. The real test came when Teague, who played on the Celtics in the 2020-21 season, gave Tatum a call. Tatum picked up after just a few rings. “Oh, we lit! I was the better teammate!” Teague joked after his brief conversation with Tatum.
The team was ran by the two star point guards at the time, Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroder, who was coming off the bench. Though these two never shared a great relationship on or off the court, Teague recently revealed on Club 520 that Schroder was the most annoying teammate he has ever played with, noting that he tended to overshare and cross boundaries without recognizing that others might feel uncomfortable. "Most annoying was probably Dennis Schroder," Teague said about the opponent whose trash-talk annoyed him in his podcast. "He was annoying, man. I remember the days, being chopping on the block… the only reason me and Dennis didn't see eye-to-eye is because he was from a different country."

While hosting fellow ex-NBA star Jeff Teague and Bishop Henn of the popular Club 520 on his own show, "All The Smoke", Stephen Jackson called out Draymond Green while defending his take that there are no players currently in the NBA who are successful podcasters and successful NBA players at the same time. "Keep it foggy, half the players that's playing that got a (podcast), they can't do it," Jackson said. "I ain't seen nobody be successful doing it yet. They might be successful in the media space, but talking about some on the court and on a podcast. Nobody's been successful on both."
Jeff Teague on Steve Nash 2004-05 MVP award: “I don't think he should have won it over Kobe Bryant.”
Gilbert Arenas: So, Jeff Teague, yeah, you might got the best of Kobe Bryant that night or the every night you played him. But he's coming you to slow you down. Like, so to Teague, it's his field. So, in Teague's mind, he wasn't like that on the defensive end. But when you're talking about he's getting awards off of 82 games. We don't know what he's doing in 82 games, right? He's playing against other players, shutting them down, doing what he's doing. We only have an experience from two times a year, right? So from what I’ve seen him do to the two guards on our team, yeah, he was like that. Yeah. He was shutting players down. Teague, if he’s on you, that means Joe Johnson is neutralized. For him to get on you, he's neutralized. He did the job, now he's on you. Same thing with me. Larry Hughes is here but if he sees me getting off he’s going to step on me then if Larry's getting off he going to go to Larry so if Antawn Jamison’s getting off I got Antawn in the post, right? So he had multiple jobs, so as a defender himself, he was a great defender.
