My Take
Jeff Teague reads to me like the kind of pro whose value never quite fit a box score. A 188 cm point guard out of Indianapolis and Wake Forest, "Jet" lasted twelve NBA seasons across five teams from 2009 to 2021, with his seven years in Atlanta the real heart of it. What I respect is the second act: rather than drifting off after retiring, he came back home to coach Pike High School, where he played, while scouting for the Hawks. That loop, local kid to NBA to coaching local kids, feels genuine. Steady, durable, and clearly still in love with the game.
