Jeff Teague believes Ron Harper was out of line for throwing shade at LeBron James during NBA All-Star Weekend.
Teague, 10-year NBA vet, went after the Bulls legend on the “Club 520 Podcast” this week, after Harper insinuated during a chat with reporters that James forced his two sons, Bronny and Bryce, to follow in his basketball footsteps.
“The last people who needed to hoop was Bronny and Bryce,” Teague, a former NBA champion, said. “They could be just chillin’, bro, if they wanted to, bro. They probably just like basketball.
“Respect to Ron Harper, because he’s a legend. But, come on, bro. Leave ‘Bron out of there, bro. Leave ‘Bron out of that.”
Harper threw his barb James’ way following a question about if he had a “vision” of seeing his sons, NBA players Dylan and Ron Jr., play in All-Star festivities.
“I’m not LeBron James,” Harper said. “I’m not going to tell my kids what they have do.”
Teague went on for over a minute about why he felt the remarks were petty.
“He act like Bronny and them didn’t want to hoop,” Teague said. “I’m protecting LeBron today. F—k that.
“He’s the last n—a whose kids got to do anything.”
Both Bronny and Bryce began their basketball careers as toddlers. Bronny, of course, went on to play at USC before joining his dad on the Lakers in 2024. Bryce, meanwhile, is in the middle of his redshirting his freshman season at Arizona.
None of the Jameses have addressed Harper’s jab, though Harper’s kids certainly seemed displeased with the comments, as they both gave stunned reactions after the words left their famous father’s lips.
