That’s Jeff Teague’s mix tape back when mix tapes were a real thing. Lil Wayne illegally running in the background while a tall T’d Jeff Teague destroys ACC competition on grainy crossovers and stepback 3’s.
A lot of people would say that’s the end of the golden era of college basketball and I wouldn’t disagree.
But that’s not the point of this blog.
The point is to first take a step back and say you’re really gonna get to know me in this blog much better. Like how I’m growing this weird obsession with soccer despite not really knowing anything about the sport other than I love watching it. I like going on long walks in nature alone and listening to dramatic novels on tape. MILFs, golf, college baseball players, World War II history late 60’s music, collecting vinyl, non-toxic skincare and that’s really just scratching the surface of my interests.
All that to say I’ve now added Jeff Teague Stories to the list.
More specifically, I like Jeff Teague Stories so much that I’m professionally compelled to draw attention to him. Without exaggeration, I think he’s quite literally the funniest story teller on the internet.
Am I alone on this? I feel like Jeff Teague is making big moves on twitter the last couple months and people are starting to wake up to him. But if you’re on the outside then this should be a real treat because it’s that good.
The self-awareness mixed with the shit talking and the guests and the overall tone and vibe is exactly what I want to hear about the NBA.
Here’s a collection of some of the classics although I have to concede that the twitter embed functionality is still disabled. So I had to mine through YouTube shorts to get the good ones I bookmarked on twitter for this blog. And while that’s incovenient, I’m certainly not complaining because it’s nice to have the YouTube functionality to back me up. Even if it’s a little more tedious. I think it’s a fair trade off provided I can still make my point that Jeff Teague is an A+ story teller that makes the NBA significantly more interesting and funny to me.
Here’s what I got:
Stephen Jackson Game Winner
Why he pushed LeBron into the stands
Where he ranks in Wake Forest history
Gilbert Arenas is his favorite player
Trash talking an injured Isaiah Thomas
I Slapped Him
Why Jokic and Kawahi are the best
Talking shit about Luka
We just had Ciroc Together
Finally – One of the best stories I have ever heard in my entire life and worth the full listen
