For players who have already largely spent their bonus, finding themselves facing younger athletes and therefore more in legs can sometimes end in fiasco. Retired from the parquet floor, Jeff Teague openly admitted that two nuggets in particular had prompted him to review his career plans…
More than ever, the NBA seems to have become the ideal playground for point guards. Under the impulsion of Stephen Curry or Russell Westbrook in particular, position 1 has grown more and more and even players with not necessarily impressive size (we think for example of Trae Young at the Hawks) can now break everything every night. And what about those who have been spoiled by nature…
A sensation of the big league with the Kings last season, De’Aaron Fox notably took on a new dimension by being a clutch at will and very productive for the Californians. All while remaining one of the most formidable dragsters in the world, as Jeff Teague recently confided, who retired in 2021. Already at the time, the leader from Kentucky had convinced him by his level of game :
Jeff Teague ultra-cash on De’Aaron Fox
[De’Aaron Fox] and Darius Garland retired me… Fox made me wanna go to the bench… My knees still suffering from them change of directions. He was running so fast I’m like, ‘What did I do to him?'”

De’Aaron Fox pushed me into retirement. Him and Darius Garland. Actually no, Garland pushed me to retire, Fox pushed me to want to get off the bench. I was ready to come off the bench. I swear, there was a game where he was running so fast. He was just rushing at me and I was like, “man, who do you think I am? “My knees still hurt from these changes of direction.
He was running so fast, I wondered, “What did I do to him to make him look like this?” Why does he want to target me? I got revenge by dunking on him but after that he tried to kill me.
Indeed, we fully understand the distress of the former Hawks … In any case, the anecdote only inflated the hype around the Sacramento guard a little more:
Curry, Brunson, Luka, Kyrie, & Fox….

Curry, Brunson, Luka, Kyrie and Fox… Swipa is Top 5, you underestimate him
Among the fastest players in the league, De’Aaron Fox has made a specialty of turning the heads of his opponents and Jeff Teague knows it. It is now up to him to confirm after a magnificent 2022-23 campaign, which saw the Kings return to the playoffs after 17 years of absence.
