The 2009 first-round nineteen overall pick by the Atlanta Hawks, Jeff Teague, has recently shared an incident regarding him and the nineteen-time NBA All-Star LeBron James.
Teague highlights the issue of shoving LeBron during the 2016 Playoffs, as he was frustrated about losing the games to LeBron. In the East, LeBron had spent more than 13 years, and some players weren’t able to make it that far because of his prominent abilities. As per Fadeaway World, the top-notch player had nine final appearances.
The point guard who went on to win the NBA championship with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021 shared about his shove, apologized to LeBron, and stated, “My fault, GOAT. GOAT James,”
“We was losing, s**t I’m a sore loser. I ain’t win a playoff game against that n****, ever. I was sick of this s***. Motherf*****’s fans in Atlanta will cheer for him, he running down the court. I say, ‘You know what b****, I got something for you. Shoulder checked the s*** outta that n****, he went to the stands.”
“I got so much hate, ‘If he would’ve been hurt, I would’ve killed you b****!’ I’m like, ‘Ayo, I gotta get off the internet.’ That’s when I first deleted Instagram. That was my first time deleting Instagram. I was like, I gotta get off this s***.”

It was during that season that the Cleveland Cavaliers broke the title-clinching dreams of the Atlanta Hawks, and their race to win came to an end. The team members moved ahead, and Teague’s luck shone in 2021 when he completed his dreams with the Bucks in 2021.
