Former NBA All-Star Reveals Wanting to Fight Chris Paul

Jeff Teague was not a fan of Chris Paul.

If there was one player who consistently gets under the skin of other NBA players, it's Chris Paul. Time after time, NBA players come out with stories about how they don't like Chris Paul. One of the most entertaining stories, however, came from former All-Star Jeff Teague.

Teague spoke on the Club 520 Podcast where he told a hilarious story of wanting to fight current Warriors guard Chris Paul.

"I was playing for the Pacers, he was playing for the Clippers," Teague said. "It was the first time he ever really talked sh*t to me, and the first time I ever really wanted to fight him. So before the game, you gotta do warmups and sh*t, and I see him. He like, 'JT what's up baby!' All political and sh*t."

To keep the conversation going with Paul, Teague decided to make small talk with him - something that turned out to be a mistake.

"He had some Wake Forest shoes, so I'm like, 'them is decent right there. I might need a pair of them CPs right there'. Just trying to keep the conversation going," Teague said.

Once the game started, that's when the gloves were between Teague and Paul. Chris Paul is one of the game's best natural irritants of all time, and that's exactly what he did to Teague.

"The game start, we start playing against each other and he doing a lot of flopping," Teague said. "He was trying to give me two fouls, and I'm like 'quit flopping n***a, play! You scared to guard?' This n***a walked to the end of our bench, where Paul George was sitting, and was like, 'P, this n***a right here talking sh*t like he ain't just ask me for some shoes before the game!'"

Needless to say, Teague was furious about the encounter and was hoping to fight him after the game.

"You know what I was on," Teague exclaimed. "Rest of the game, you already know I was on Ricky Rubio timing. I wanted to run into this n***a so bad."

It's going to be watching like dynamite explode to see both Chris Paul and Draymond Green on the same NBA team. It's been a very long time since a team had two of the best agitators ever on one squad, and it's definitely going to be entertaining.
