Former NBA player Jeff Teague has some bold thoughts on a hypothetical matchup between Caitlin Clark
“Caitlin would not score a point on Bronny, bro,” Teague, 36, said on the Monday, December 23, episode of the “Club 520” podcast when asked who would win if the pair ever faced off. “She might not even get a shot off, bro.”
Teague, who previously played with the Atlanta Hawks for seven seasons, doubled down on his hot take that Clark, 22, would lose to Bronny — who is the son of Lebron James — by a significant amount.
“He would beat her by 60 [points],” Teague claimed. “He would legit beat her 20 [to] 0.”
LeBron James‘ eldest son, Bronny James, is following in his dad’s basketball-playing footsteps — and he’s already on his way to superstardom. Born in 2004, Bronny’s athletic skills started attracting attention when he was just 10 years old. By the time he started high school at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, national interest in […]
Teague also shared that he thinks Bronny’s younger brother, Bryce James, “would beat” the Indiana Fever star 20 to 0 as well.
The discussion kicked off when cohost Bishop B Henn boldly stated he doesn’t believe that any WNBA player could successfully face off against an NBA player. Fellow cohost DJ Wells shared that he thinks a couple women athletes could be “in consideration depending on the match up.” However, all the men agreed that the NBA player’s physical stature would give them an advantage over the women.
Teague also doesn’t think A’ja Wilson, who plays for the Las Vegas Aces, could beat Bronny in a solo match up as well due to their differences in sizes.
“He’s 10 times more athletic than [Wilson]. He can do everything better than her,” he said. “She’s a girl bro, he’s physically way more imposing. I mean she’s good, she’s a hooper, she’s a good person but that is a man.”
Teague added that in his experience when he’s faced off against a woman on the basketball court, he’s taken the victory each time.
“No girl ever beat me one-on-one, on my mama,” he claimed. “If a girl beat me one-on-one, I swear I’d never pick up a basketball again.”
While the men were down on today’s WNBA stars, the men did speak highly of JuJu Watkins and Maya Moore.
Caitlin Clark is changing the trajectory of women’s basketball with her record-breaking stats and long-range shots — and celebrities are taking notice. The senior Iowa Hawkeyes guard averaged 32 points per game during the regular season, and in March she became the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer across men’s and women’s basketball, breaking a […]
Bronny, 20, and Clark were two of the most talked about basketball players this past year. In her first WNBA season, Clark, who was a No. 1 draft pick, has already broken records and was unanimously chosen as the league’s Rookie of the Year.
Bronny, for his part, was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft. While Bronny made history alongside his dad becoming the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time and Bronny has had limited playing time. Throughout his rookie season, he’s been assigned several times to the South Bay Lakers, which is the team’s minor league counterpart.
