Jeff Teague on Olympics 3x3: My BIG3 squad could have beaten Team USA
Jeff Teague, who is a former NBA player, says that he watched Team USA and thinks his BIG3 squad could’ve beaten them. “I’ve seen Jimmer Fredette and that team, we would’ve beat them, if you let us practice. Because they practice for that s—t. You don’t really practice for the BIG3, you go the day before, you get some shots up and you go play,” Teague said on his podcast. “If you gave us a whole year to practice plays, and run out to the three-point line, and play with an NBA Basketball, or an Olympic basketball, we probably could’ve run that s—t.”

Then, Green’s comments turned a little more negative. “For some of these guys, they be in year three, still trying to figure it out, with a podcast,” Green said. “I love that you’re doing it, I love that you found something that you want to do, but you in year three and ain’t done s***. Nobody really want to hear from you.” -via Awful Announcing / July 30, 2024
Discussing NBA athlete podcasts on the Club 520 podcast with Jeff Teague last week, Green described why players early in their careers should hold off on launching podcasts. “When I see guys doing it now, I have two thoughts,” Green explained. “A, I like that you’re doing that, I think that’s super dope that you’re doing that. But B, make sure that you’re in the space to do it first. I see some guys starting now, and if you start now because you’re trying to make that your main job, great. Go for it. But you’re not in a space right now to do that and try to make it in basketball because you ain’t made it in that yet.” -via Awful Announcing / July 30, 2024

They got some different kind of connection. He can’t function [if he doesn’t see him].” — Jeff Teague pic.twitter.com/dfSLQ4otJT -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 22, 2024
