Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Dad Ripped On X For Jokingly Offering To 'Breed' Jeff Teague's Wife
The typical NBA Finals hype might not be as high as usual, but at least each team's star players' dads are in the limelight. Tyrese Haliburton's dad is fresh off a ban for mouthing off at Giannis Antetokounmpo, and now Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's dad, Vaughn Alexander, is letting the competitive nature get the best of him. Alexander was on a recent episode of former NBA player Jeff Teague's Club 520 podcast, and the episodes are always full of jokes, but Alexander went too far when he cracked one about having sex with Teague's wife. 'Just give me your girl and I'll breed her,' Alexander said. ' Guarantee you, if she has my genes, he'll be a f-cking great player.' Even Bishop B Henn, who usually has the most controversial takes on the show, nearly spat out his drink. Teague keeps his cool, responding, 'OG, you can't say that, out of respect. My wife gon' be pissed.' Alexander keeps the joke going, adding that his genes matched with some elite basketball training, and he'll definitely make it into the NBA. The viral clip ends with him saying he was joking around, but Teague spoke about the off-color comment on Gilbert Arenas' Gil's Arena podcast. Teague said he didn't snap at Alexander in the moment because he 'had to be professional.' The topic came up on the Club 520 podcast when Teague mentioned that he has no kids, and one of his co-hosts accused him of shooting blanks. That's when Teague said Alexander responded, 'I'll help him, I make MVPs.' Teague added that after the joke died down, Alexander said he was sorry, and later called the show's producer to apologize again. The episode doesn't appear to be available on Club 520 's official YouTube page. Alexander's basketball career peaked with a championship in high school while studying at Georges Vanier Secondary School in the 1990s. You can also thank the MVP's mom for athletic prowess, too, as she ran the 400m for Antigua and Barbados at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. See how social media is reacting to the comments below..

Franklin County man arrested for attempted murder following stabbing
OZARK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Franklin County man was arrested June 11 after stabbing a man and claiming self-defense. According to court documents, Preston Teague, 33, is facing charges of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree battery and criminal trespass. According to an affidavit, deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the Mercy Hospital Emergency Room in Ozark about a stabbing. The victim was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith for surgery because his injuries were too severe for him to be life-flighted to a larger hospital. OSBI investigates LeFlore County shooting that left one dead, one injured The sheriff's office received a 911 call from Teague's mother one minute before the previous call. She said Teague was on his way back home from Ozark, and that he was in an altercation with someone and had stabbed them. She told police the incident happened on Twisted Oak Lane near Ozark. Teague was arrested at his home in Fort Smith and taken to Bloomer, so Franklin County deputies could take him to the Franklin County jail for questioning. Fort Smith police told Franklin County deputies that Teague admitted to them that he had stabbed the alleged victim with a knife. The affidavit said Teague's right hand was bandaged and his outer clothing was covered in apparent dried blood. The affidavit says Teagues told Franklin County deputies on the way to the jail that he believed that his girlfriend was cheating on him with the alleged victim. He told police that he used Snapchat to find out that the alleged victim lived on Tisted Oak Lane and went there. He told police that he was shining a flashlight and calling out to the alleged victim. According to the affidavit, Teague said at some point, the alleged victim came out to confront Teague and rammed Teague's vehicle with a truck. He also said that he did stab the alleged victim, but that it was in self-defense. At the jail, Teague unwrapped the bandage on his hand to reveal a deep laceration. Teague was taken to the emergency room with a deputy present before he was taken to jail, where he has remained since June 11. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

NBA news: Jeff Teague claims Tom Thibodeau ‘doesn't really coach you'
The post NBA news: Jeff Teague claims Tom Thibodeau 'doesn't really coach you' appeared first on ClutchPoints. Former NBA guard Jeff Teague offered a candid assessment of Tom Thibodeau's coaching style in the wake of the New York Knicks' decision to part ways with the veteran head coach on Tuesday. Teague, who played under Thibodeau with the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2017 to 2020, described Thibodeau as largely hands-off during games. Advertisement 'He really don't say sh*t. He just be down pop, down,' Teague said. 'That's all he say, but he don't be saying like Teague go here, do this… he don't really be coaching you. He kinda just be like, 'damn. Damn it man.' He don't say nothing. I swear to God, Thibs all he say is literally, 'damn' and we just watching him… 'you gotta be here, damn.'' Teague added that Thibodeau allowed players considerable freedom on the floor. 'In the game, bro you can run, you can shoot anytime, you can run anything. He lets you be a basketball player. Obviously, he's going to put the ball in his best player's hands, but other than that, he don't say sh*t bro.' Knicks coaching search draws wide range of candidates following Tom Thibodeau's firing During his tenure in Minnesota, Thibodeau led the Timberwolves to a single playoff appearance in 2017–18, where they were eliminated in the first round by the Houston Rockets. His stint with the Knicks, which began ahead of the 2020–21 season, was more successful. He guided New York to four playoff appearances in five years and compiled a 226–174 regular-season record along with a 24–23 postseason mark. His time in New York included the franchise's first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000. Advertisement Thibodeau also served as an assistant under former Knicks head coach Jeff Van Gundy from 1996 to 2001, a connection that has resurfaced during the team's ongoing coaching search. ESPN's Brian Windhorst floated the idea of a Van Gundy reunion during Get Up on Wednesday, noting the respect he garnered in his current role as a Los Angeles Clippers assistant. ESPN's Jay Williams also added former NBA champion Rajon Rondo to the conversation, highlighting his elite basketball IQ and familiarity with the Eastern Conference despite lacking head coaching experience. Meanwhile, Metta Sandiford-Artest, formerly known as Metta World Peace, publicly campaigned for the job on X, formerly known as Twitter, calling himself the 'number one guy for the job' and citing his long-standing connection to New York basketball. As the Knicks evaluate their next steps, the coaching vacancy continues to attract names both expected and unconventional, with Teague's remarks offering additional insight into the dynamics surrounding Thibodeau's departure.

"Look How Steph Curry Plays": Jeff Teague Blames Tom Thibodeau For Jalen Brunson, Knicks' Loss
"Look How Steph Curry Plays": Jeff Teague Blames Tom Thibodeau For Jalen Brunson, Knicks' Loss originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The New York Knicks' exit after a loss in Game 6 of the ECF has ushered in a lot of potential changes for the team. While the criticism has been distributed all around, former NBA player Jeff Teague very directly blamed Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau and his approach to the matchup. While speaking on the matter on the "Club 520 Podcast", Teague said: Advertisement "I think Jalen Brunson is a better individual player than Tyrese Haliburton. But, for a team aspect, the way Tyrese plays, I think it would fit the Knicks well. They've got really good players on the Knicks team." Teague's comparative analysis continued as he added, "But also, I don't know, the way Thibs coach, if they switch coaches, I think they win... I love Thibs. But the way he coach offense is old. His style is old." The former NBA player proceeded to systematically break down the plays from Thibodeau's book, noting that it always ends up becoming a pick-and-roll with Jalen Brunson in the end. "If you ain't learned anything about the league, go look at how Steph Curry plays, how other people play when you've got a scoring guard like him," said Teague. "They play off the ball, they set pindowns and backscreens and get other people a lot of layups... They ain't used that recipe at all this series." Advertisement What Teague pointed out was a very fundamental difference in the Knicks' system and the Warriors' system. The Knicks, under Thibodeau, remain an old-school, half-court offense, with Brunson drawing upon the task of creating plays from the top of the key. Meanwhile, the Warriors, under Steve Kerr, have a dynamic, motion offense. A pathbreaking system in every sense that has resulted in the development of some of the best perimeter shooting opportunities the league has ever seen. With a player like Stephen Curry becoming the beneficiary of it, Kerr ensured that his star would do whatever was required to ensure the best look at the rim. Curry's effort off the ball guaranteed a lot of success for his team. While this didn't diminish his ability while dribbling the ball, it has been widely acknowledged that the Warriors guard was at his most lethal when he was moving without it. Implementing this may be a bit of a challenge for a player like Brunson, who is so ball-dominant. His usage rate of 28.9% in the regular season saw a massive uptick in the playoffs, jumping to 31.5%. While it was an effective strategy for the guard, it is a clear indication of how static New York's offense becomes, even when Brunson notched an average of 7.0 assists in the playoffs. Advertisement The offseason will usher in a lot of adjustments for the Knicks, who are expected to see some personnel changes, potentially trading for a superstar as well. Meanwhile, Thibodeau may also sense some discomfort as he could see his position up for grabs amidst looming uncertainty.
