 I got the energy, I got the will to survive, I got the energy. What's so spectacular? I got the energy, energy, energy, energy. That's right, joining us now, a 12 year NBA vet, a champ and all star, but really the podcast right now is the thing that is blowing up. Jeff Teague joins us and Jeff, I wanna get right off the bat cause I know you and Lou were teammates at one point. I need a story about Lou before Lou gives us a story about you, go. Nah, Lou was always the coolest dude in the room. They were the coolest dude in the room. So, some of the stories I can't tell about me and Lou, you know, we had some good times about that. Thank you, Jeff. And the feeling is mutual, I have no stories as well. Oh, calm, you guys are, I have no stories as well. Not how TV works. Nothing? Nah, I got nothing PG enough. We can share. It's early in the morning, it's basically night. We fast some time. Jeff, give us one good Lou moment as a teammate cause I never played with Lou. I feel like me and Lou would have been great teammates. But give us two minutes. No, Lou is a bad teammate cause he's throwing us under the bus already and we've been on this show for two minutes. You gotta let that go, you gotta let that heal, Michelle. You gotta let that heal. Is he a good teammate or a, hmm, teammate? Nah, he's the best teammate. He's definitely top three in my teammates. So I'm talking about, dog, appreciate, hey, appreciate, that's the first time I heard that too. That might be for TV, but thank you, bro. I appreciate that. I tell everybody that we had a segment on our show about you. That's what's up. I was telling everybody, yeah. That's what's up. Top three, I wonder who the other two were. Who are the other two, yeah? Kyle Corver, he was a great teammate. Al Horford. Oh, that's a good company right there. All right, thank you. He's an amazing teammate, yeah, that's fire. So, Jeff, we talked earlier about the hack of drumming that went on in Boston last night. You know, even though they were up 30 points or whatever they were up, if you were on the Bulls though, how upset would you have been last night? I wouldn't have been mad. I mean, you got to make free throws. Straight up. You could have had 20 points. Straight up. But even sticking with this whole end-season tournament thing, the Hawks pulled their starters last night and the Cavs kept theirs in, kind of running up the score. Is that just something now you deal with because it's the new norm or does that get under your skin? I mean, you're probably going to remember, but it's the norm now. I mean, they're trying to win. They're trying to find themselves still kind of early in the season. So, I mean, I ain't really mad at them. I mean, I'm a high school coach now, so I'm trying to run up the score. That doesn't mean... I see, I don't never understood the sensitivity about running up the score. That's the whole point, I thought. But then there's the dream on green of it all. He was back from his suspension last night and just then gets a T in the fourth quarter. It riles up the Sacramento crowd as it should. But we've been asking the guys this morning, at this point, is what Jermon does causing more harm than good? Oh, look, I love Jermon. So, I'm gonna ride with Jermon. Whatever he got going on, they champions, they gonna figure it out. But, I mean, they just said, they always go through a rough patch in a year at the beginning of the year, these last couple of years. So, I think they'll figure it out. Do you think there will ever, because that seems to be the answer that people give, right? They love Jermon. And so, for that reason, he kind of gets the pass. But will there ever come a day where it's just too much? For example, the chokehold. For you, what was your opinion on the chokehold, seeing around the world? It was funny to me. He held, man. I don't know if it's bro crazy, but I wouldn't have did it, but I understand why he did it. They had a little past history. So, he thought it was his moment, and he took advantage of it. I mean, it cost him in the end, but shit, it was funny. It was a good TV for me, my bad. It's not like no one, no one has Broody's back. Jimmy Butler didn't play last night, but you were in Minnesota with him. And of course, there's the infamous practice that was legendary. As far as taking on Kat and the rest of that team, the starters, you were there. I know it's been a minute, but it's still one of my favorite stories. What happened? He just had a moment in practice where he was killing, and he wasn't really scoring. He was just making everybody better. And he was letting GM and everybody know about it. And I just kind of appreciated it because I ain't never seen somebody talk to the GM like that. And I was like, that's kind of hard. I need that kind of pool. It never happened for me. So, when I actually got the pool, they was trading me. So, it was over. And you know, you've been in the league a long time, and everybody knows how documented we were just speaking about the Kat and the Jimmy drummer. Is that one of the better beefs that you've seen in the league that you've been a part of? It wasn't really beef, because Kat wasn't trying to beef with him. Like, Kat was more like trying to fall in line with him. But I can't really see how it would work. It was like, Kat, go to the front office. Jimmy, go to you. So it's different, but it ain't really no beef. So, Kat, for whatever reason, gets a lot of disrespect from players, fans. You played with him. Why is that? Like, why does that keep happening to him? I don't know, because he's one of the best players in the league. I think it's because he changed his voice in his interview. Nah, I mean, for real, bro, I think people think that way. He make yourself an easy target by doing stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, in fact, bro. But he really cold. Like, I told before, I think he's one of the best players in the league. People thought I was crazy, and I was like, he remind me of... He ain't as tall as Wimby, but like, his skill set, when I first met him, he was doing all that stuff. But I think he just get a bad rap for stuff like that off the court. You always, I mean, you recently said that there's nobody worse than a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. No, I didn't say that, bro. That's why we're here. Let's clean everything up. That's what my notes say. Let's clean everything up. Yeah, that's what they said about it. They don't like meat, so it's a future. Got it, got it, got it. I mean, you should know that for the most. I think the Memphis Grizzly fans are right up there with them. Fair enough. Everyone's got their own personal experience, I guess. So I gotta ask, because recently we saw Scott Foster and CP go through that thing, but you've also had your thing with CP and you've expressed it on your podcast, Club 520. By the way, everybody check out Jeff's podcast. What started that with you and CP? I don't got beef with CP. It's just like, you know, you go to Wake Forest and you kind of look at him as a mentor. And it just, you just didn't get that love no more once you got in a league, but I understood it. Like it's competition. But after that, he just kind of liked with Lil Broby and I'm like, bro, I ain't really had no big, I got a real big brother, he ain't gonna keep Lil Bro on me, bro. You only like a couple of years older than me. Right. So I just didn't appreciate that kind of stuff he had said to me. So kind of came like that, really. Not your bro, bro. Not your bro, bro. No, that's fair. See, Lou, clearing that up. 2016, playing for the Hawks. You got LeBron in the calves on the other side of things. Eastern Conference Emmys. It's a bit of a, I guess it's a body check. It's called a body check. Right. Yeah, no, I call, I count it. What happened here? Jeff, you would've got 10 games if this was two thousand three for that one. I ain't get nothing, I ain't get a fine or nothing. Nothing. You'd've got 10 games for that shelf. That's your limitation, bro. Yeah. You're a good nut. Oh yeah, Draymon would've been proud of you, bro. To salt these days. I was out of pocket, bro. You know. Why'd you do it? Oh, I was havin' it. That's good. That's it. It was good. You know how I learned everything cheering for him. I said, well, hell no. I knew this was my last game for the Hawks, though, by the way, so I'll let you know. Oh, that's good. You laugh for the bag. Legend. Oh, definitely. Okay, that's fair. I knew it was my last one, too. I'm out. But seriously, Jeff, you guys were the best regular season team, I know, one year. You guys had like, what, four starting lineup was in the All-Star game together one year? Yeah. Do you feel like you guys should've won a championship? Obviously, LeBron James came in the way, but do you feel like you guys should've won the ring one of these years? I'ma say, I thought we could've made it to the finals. I thought we could beat LeBron in them, but everybody started getting hurt. And then LeBron, being the player he is, he just started figuring this out. He's like, Jeff T, you can't go after me one-on-one. I'm just gonna make him go after me, pickin' rough, and it was over with. Yeah, Jeff, there's been a few players, there's actually been a lot of players who've had my numbers that just always bust my ass. Who is that one guy that, for whatever reason, would just cook you every time? Shit, the list is long. That's what I'm saying, you play long enough, you gon' have a long list. Who's like a weird guy? Like, who shouldn't have? I'd rather play to be at the fender, either, uh. That's fine. But, I mean, all the great ones, they gave me buckets. I mean, shit, Lou gave me buckets. You gave everyone buckets. I'm a bucket. I'm a bucket. I'm a bucket. I'm a bucket. Thanks, Lou. That's a fact, he was. I remember one year, the Pro-M in Atlanta, and you went against Jerry Jack. I came and watched him in the stands, and y'all was going back and forth. Y'all was arguing, and you was just playing with your homeboys, they had a home NBA squad. And you had like 55. We got my Pro-M team, they just passed the ball until I shoot. That's it? That's just how we play. Hey, but y'all beat him though. Yeah, we go beat him every time though. See, that's great. Yeah, you don't have to make it, it's not that complicated. Lou surprised us the other day, he said that Kawhi was one of the three funniest players that he's ever played with. Is there a player that you've played with that's either really misunderstood, or maybe we've just gotten completely wrong? I think Andrew Wiggins is really funny. I mean, he doesn't talk much, but if you get to know him, he's a super funny guy. Tyus Jones is hilarious. Tyus Jones? Tyus Jones, you're going. You wouldn't guess that. He's hilarious. What made some good money? Because their personalities, they just quiet, they reserved, and people don't get an opportunity to see their personalities. So you get them behind the scenes and situations where they're comfortable, yeah, they just let loose. I know, I like that. He jokes around. That's how Kawhi is, behind closed doors. He runs the show. We'll never know. We'll never know. Church and Lou. So look, you're up. My bad. You've been known to trash talk a little bit. Do it. That's what they say. I was trying to tell you that you was quiet. You might get upset sometimes, and you might trip like the LeBron push. Who's the most annoying person? Oh, wow. I got a couple, because we done been in some battles together, but who's the most annoying person you would say that's trash talking on the court? The most annoying was probably Dennis Schroeder. It was not. I know you got a story, Lou. That's what, so I'm gonna leave that alone. No, no, no, we gonna leave that alone. Nah, we gonna leave that alone. But Jeff and Dennis, they had their little thing going on. They practiced a lot, man. Competitive spirit. He was supposed to know it. You know it's bad when he's saying one of his teammates. We were looking for like a Pat Babb, someone that you played against. He went with you, buddy. Nah, he was annoying, man, but I mean, that's what Beckham him, man. He's a competitor, but he definitely was annoying. Did you play against him? Did you play against Prime KG? Oh. Hey, man, he was crazy. KG was saying, I'm gonna say some things to him on the floor. Wait, what? He did what? Got him off-boards and barked at me and playoff him. He's a little crazy. He ain't got it all, man. That's amazing. Speaking of KG, he recently said some crazy comments that Jordan Poole doesn't belong in the NBA. He tripping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now Jordan Poole, he's still cold. He's just having a bad moment right now, but he deserves to be in the league. I mean, I get what KG talking about. You know, he more passionate about stuff. Oh, man. Uh-oh, tech, technology kicking in. We got it. Oh, no. Who's that? Is that us? Is he gone? Do we lose him? We lost him to a FaceTime. We lost him. I bet somebody called it. I bet somebody called it. He must call it. I bet somebody called it. Dennis Shruder online. By the way, I don't think that's ever happened where you asked somebody about trash talker. You might have been there. Maybe you've, what happened between Dennis Shruder and Jeff Teague? No, well, Jeff was the starting point guard. Dennis is coming over from Germany. Dennis had quite the reputation in Germany. We didn't really, we weren't really. What kind of reputation? Well, good. Well, he was a pro already. Oh, great one, okay. Yeah, so we didn't really, we didn't really know who he was, know much about him. And he just had this thing with Jeff and, you know, they were just dueling. He wanted, he wanted Jeff's job and Jeff wasn't going for it. Oh, that's fair. And it just created, just created some competitive energy in the gym. That's all. I can honestly say though, did not expect the teammate to be the answer. That was- I knew for a fact he was gonna say Dennis Shruder. That's why I kind of laughed. That's amazing. By the way, you wanna check out Jeff's podcast. He does have, he's got the stories.
