Former NBA star Jeff Teague was part of the fairly successful Atlanta Hawks team during the mid-2010s with Dennis Schroder. He made the All-Star team, together with four of the starters, in 2015. During that time, the German star served as his backup point guard and showed promise on the court.

However, the two couldn't see eye-to-eye, and it led to the Hawks trading Teague to the Indiana Pacers. After the trade, Schroder became the full-time starting point guard for Atlanta.

Now, the one-time champion is retired from basketball and spends most of his time with his show, "Club 520 Podcast." The former Hawks great has shared some of the most hilarious anecdotes from his NBA career after becoming a member of the media.

"Most annoying was probably Dennis Schroder," he said. "He was annoying, man. I remember the days, being chopping on the block… the only reason me and Dennis didn't see eye-to-eye is because he was from a different country."
