Jeff Teague recently appeared on the Club 520 podcast, where he revisited the infamous “untucked jersey” game between The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2019-20 season, which had NBA fans talking. During the conversation, Teague shared his frustrations about the incident, which involved Chris Paul and a controversial call by the referees.
“Oh yeah, I remember that s**t. Jordan Bell was subbing in the game and he had his jersey untucked and we already had got a delay of game. And Chris was like, you have to f**king call it. Which was technically they had to.”
“The ref didn’t want to call it but the n***a was so like, that’s part of the rules. You know the f**king rules. You know the f**king rules. The ref was like, looking at him, I was like, no.”
“The ref was like, I have to call it, call that s**t. I was like, oh, that’s some hoe a** s**t. I was mad as f**k. That’s not why we lost though. We lost because n***a threw a full court pass, n***a hit a layup on me. Dennis Schroeder, little a**.”
“Steven Adams took it out of bounds and threw it long. I was sh**y. Look, I was pissed. Jordan Bell’s subbing the game with his jersey on top. Yeah, they threw that pass long right there. And that’s me getting scored on.”
“Ain’t that a b***h? I was like, how you throw a perfect f**king pass, bro? I talked to CP after the game, meaning like he know the game. He knows what’s going on. So I wasn’t even mad at him. I had 30 something. I came off the bench with a 30-piece”
Teague set the scene, recounting how Jordan Bell was subbing into the game with his jersey untucked, a violation that Paul immediately pointed out to the referees. This seemingly minor detail became a pivotal moment in the game when Paul, known for his high basketball IQ, demanded the refs call it.
Despite the referee’s apparent reluctance, Paul’s pressure led to the delay of game being enforced, a move that left Teague feeling furious. However, he quickly pointed out that this wasn’t the reason his team lost the game.
Teague vividly remembered the pivotal moment in the game where Dennis Schroder, a smaller guard, managed to get a layup against him after a perfect full-court pass from Steven Adams. Despite the emotions of the moment, Teague didn’t hold any personal grudge against Chris Paul. In fact, he respected Paul’s knowledge and understanding of the game.
The game may have ended on a frustrating note for Teague, but it was also a standout performance for him individually. This recollection of the “untucked” game serves as a reminder of how small details and moments in the NBA can swing momentum and change the outcome of a game. For Teague, it remains a game filled with frustration, but also respect for the chess-like tactics employed by Chris Paul.
