A viral story shared by former NBA player Jeff Teague has reignited debate about Larry Bird's approach to team-building and the lasting impact of playing alongside LeBron James. During a recent podcast appearance, Teague claimed Bird once told him he had a strict rule when evaluating potential signings.
According to Teague, the former Indiana Pacers executive refused to pay players who had previously been LeBron James' teammates because he believed the NBA superstar made them appear better than they actually were.
