now before anyone hates, Wemby is more talented, but as seen with this year and Chet, health is harder for people with Wemby’s build.

Paolo was injured too, but his injury was much more standard, and less concerning

Plus Paolo is insanely sturdy, he’s not a walking stick, dude is a grown man with full muscle

Wemby's proven himself more than Paolo, IMO. Banchero has holes in his game that he has yet to address.

We should just have a sticky thread filled with things Teague says.

Judges would've also accepted 'RealTeague'.

A few days ago I was not contemplating make a Jeff Teague megathread but life comes at you fast I guess.

It’s very ironic that athletes for years have been critical of the media or “old media” for their takes, narratives, or dismissing them altogether because “they never played the game” therefore their opinions and also fan’s opinions are not as knowledgeable or wise as their own. Then you realize that some of these athletes takes and what they talk about are just as bad and maybe worst. Not to mention that most of them have horrible debate skills hence the reason they don’t regularly have people on who would challenge their takes and opinions and not just try and out yell or curse them.

Athletes are very lucky that sports fans worship and adore them and basically hate the media at this point so they’ll gobble up anything they say.

I certainly wouldn't mind if Jeff Teague's rampant lunacy was contained in one place...

This. It puts all his statements into perspective. Bron fans can relax again.

On a side note, these statements will land him a job with espn like Stephen A, Skip or Shannon Sharp
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

I can see it. If I wanted a vastly inferior player who's older and doesn't possess the two-way upside of Wemby, why not?

The man deserves a separate topic for each take
I am beyond death
Midst a dreaming affinity
Saving strength now, faint whispers
Come erotic communion in its splendour

He should stick to his in game stories; he’s hilarious in that regard.

However, when it comes to evaluating, he’s as bad as any basketball player podcast out there.

A few days ago, I was in a blissful state having forgotten Jeff Teague's existence completely. Man, how I miss the ol' days...
