Jeff Teague says Larry Bird had one rule when building a team...
NEVER sign players that played with LeBron. 😭
Bird: "I will never pay anybody that played with LeBron. I would never pick them up on my team."
Teague: "I said, 'Why?'"
"He said, 'Because he make them all look good. They're all really sad'."
"You go get them, and then they're not going to be the same player you wanted."
