Jeff Teague and the Club 520 squad DEBATE whether Zach LaVine is the WORST BEST PLAYER ever in the NBA. B Hen, DJ, and Marquis show LaVine love for his incredible accolades with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls, and Sacramento Kings, but say he’s ONLY PLAYED for LOSING TEAMS his entire career. The guys bring up other examples of players who couldn’t win in the playoffs including Tracy McGrady.

I could argue Zion
Zach had a chance to go to Denver but Buzelis was just too good to be traded for MPJ
Kevin Martin
I thought Zach lavine was gonna be that guy buts he's been that guy on trash teams š¤£š„
The t Mac disrespect is crazy work
Lavine isnāt a āgreatā player. This just goes to show you, just cause you have nba talent and body and played in the league doesnāt mean you have bball IQ or knowledge or understanding of the history of the game. I watched Lavine for the majority of his career here in Chicago. Athletic, talented, not great, Iād say good but he literally had the most non-impactful 20 to 25 point games Iāve ever seen. While simultaneously giving up 20. So you were a net positive for five points? He also didnāt distribute a high-level while being a dog ship defender. Austin Reaves just scored 51 and almost had a triple double on him š before we got damar he was leading Chicago to 18 to 25 win seasons that is not a great player let alone an all-time great player
Zach Lavine is this Era's
Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

This was literally Jamal Crawford career before landing on the Clippers
All facts , bro really came to Chicago Played zero defense, never gave us shit in the playoffs. Was a walking bucket but had zero leadership on that squad. Second he left those young boys started ballin freely. Bro really came here just to make one all start team and get the bag. Just all around tragic.
As a Kings fan, Im not sure if itās just me but please get him off the team, Iād rather deal with the mid range merchants, that nigga donāt play no defense, itās horrendous, and heās not that good offensively to give him a pass
Zach is Mr negative intangible. Look at the bulls, they started winning literally immediately after the trade last season. He makes teams and teammates worse.
Arron Gordon aināt like that just his last 3 games. I bet he would get 18 points and he didnāt. Austin Reaves way better.
Yāall picking players off names not game.
Devin Booker aināt nowhere lose to AD. Yāall be tripping
Give booker Luka see his numbers
To be fair Zach been averaging over 20 points again for like a decadeš
You could never tell someone how talented he really is without a vehement disagreement. Tell them a 6'6 SG that can fly, shoot, and won a dunk contest and you'll assume it's Mike. Physically, he SHOULD be MJ, but as you can see, it's not just about that š
It's because HES HORRIBLE AT DEFENSE…
WHY IS THAT SO COMPLICATED FOR SOME PEOPLE? LOL
If you are the #1 offensive option on your team but an atrocious defensive player…
You are a weak link that is almost impossible to cover for…
Once in a great while teams like the jokic nuggets or nowitzkis mavericks will win a championship…
But 90% of champions are teams that were defensively elite…
And in particular thier best offensive player was elite defensively also…
Look at what the Celtics did to the Luka mavericks in the finals… Lol
They RELENTLESSLY ATTACKED doncic on the defensive end and it completely broke Dallas' defense and eventually thier morale
AR
Teague tells no lies.
Booker has never made the playoffs as the true #1 on his team. CP3 changed that Suns team into a contender. Then KD was on the ship and they made the playoffs off sheer talent, but Booker still wasn't a #1. Booker is actually the west LaVine. He's better than Zach, but not by much. Booker has never been a superstar.
TMAC never won a playoff series . He was washed and had to join the spurs to make it past the first round
T Mac never once sniffed the title of ābest player in the leagueā
Please tell me why Devin booker isnt in this convo???? He aint acheived ANYTHING
Is he really a great though? I wouldnāt consider him that
Bhen crazy its not 5 sg better than ar
Zach can give you 30 but give up 30
Zach Lavine is the Michael Jordan of Rudy Gays
Zach isn't great at anything except dunk contest he suck if we being honest always have sucked
bulls started season 5-0 lol kinda crazy
If zo didnāt get hurt in Chicago Zach would have 4 all star selection under his belt
zach was in playoffs 2022. yall gotta do yall homework before yall start yappin
Zach needs to stop worrying about if hes that guy and just be that guy play in the rhythm of a system but play hero ball when needed but he to self conscious and needs to get away from Derozen they play to similar
This why who you play for is important ššwe over here asking is AR better then Zach Lavine????
