Jeff Teague responded to Monta Ellis' assertion regarding the Golden State Warriors on August 11, 2026, during a podcast recording. Ellis had suggested that the Warriors would have experienced the same success had he replaced Stephen Curry. Teague, who played alongside Ellis on the Indiana Pacers for the 2016-2017 season, refuted this claim, stating, 'He was never better than Steph Curry.'
