While discussing the peak periods of LeBron James’s career with his co-hosts, Teague expressed his opinion that James was at his best during his time with the Miami Heat. He then shockingly claimed that James had been using steroids.
“He was on steroids. He had to take a break, he was definitely on steroids. Allegedly,” Teague remarked. “Once they began testing for HGH… he took a break. He complained of back pain, sat out for about three weeks, and returned looking much leaner.”

Not surprisingly, Teague’s accusations about James using performance-enhancing drugs spread rapidly across social media. This led Teague to later clarify that his statements were meant in jest.
Teague took to Instagram to explain, posting a story that read, “Y’all weird I was joking about [LeBron] he was just that dominant chill.”
