Jeff Teague Explains Why He Prefers Guarding Kyrie Irving Over Steph Curry
Former NBA champion Jeff Teague recently stated he would rather defend Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving than Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry. On his 'Club 520 Podcast,' Teague explained that Irving's isolation game makes him more predictable for defenders, as his movements are easier to anticipate. Despite acknowledging Irving's elite handles and scoring prowess, Teague found Curry's constant off-ball movement and screen navigation to be a more demanding defensive assignment.
