Former USC women's basketball star McKenzie Forbes slammed former NBA player Jeff Teague for his claim that three-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson won't beat any college, G League and NBA player.
Forbes, who played for California, Harvard and USC in college and was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 WNBA draft, lashed out at Teague. On the podcast he co-hosts with SB Wells and Brandon Hendricks, Teague said Wilson wouldn't make the rosters of any college, G League or NBA team.
The NBA veteran, who played for 13 seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, even blurted out a rhetorical question that could become bulletin board material for A'ja Wilson and other women's basketball players who had listened to the podcast.

"Do yall know n**gas off the bench used to average 40 in high school and 20 in college?," Teague asked Wells and Hendricks in the Dec. 24 episode of Club 520 Podcast (1:05:04-onwards).
Teague went on and said that the former South Carolina standout and Las Vegas Aces center won't beat out the least talented player in college, G-League, or the NBA.
Forbes was offended by Teague's claim and didn't let the former Wake Forest player get away with such a statement, responding with a post on X (formerly Twitter) that read:
"Just seen that Jeff Teague clip bro wtf are we actually doing. Just the most sexist, misogynistic sh** you’ve ever heard."
"Unedited and said with the all the confidence in the world knowing it will go unchecked. Take these dudes mics away man. & Shaq you are not innocent either!," she added.
By reading McKenzie Forbes' post, she's demanding the hosts not to resume podcasting and asking other hosts to be careful with what they're saying on social media.
Jeff Teague claims Caitlin Clark would be blanked by Bronny James on a 1-on-1 game
Continuing his bold claims fiasco, Jeff Teague also discussed women's basketball sensation and former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark on the podcast. He declared that if Clark and Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James had a one-on-one game, the NCAA's all-time leading scorer wouldn't score a point on James.
The former NBA point guard even predicted Bronny James would beat Caitlin Clark, 20-0.
Jeff Teague claimed that the son of Lakers star and four-time NBA champion LeBron James is 10 times more athletic than the Indiana Fever star and would impose his will against the 2024 Time Magazine Athlete of the Year.
Teague was a one-time All-Star and had career averages of 12.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 826 games. He played 87 playoff games and tallied 11.4 ppg, 2.2 rpg and 4.1 apg.
