In a recent interview published on NBA.com, Atlanta Hawks point guard Jeff Teague talked about being a wrestling fan. During his interview with Lang Whitaker, the two talked about topics concerning WrestleMania XXX, including Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker’s storied streak at WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, among other wrestling related topics.

Teague talked about his opinion of Daniel Bryan, leading to Whitaker asking if he preferred Orton as the champion:

Regarding Bryan:

“I like him, he’s OK. I’m not a big fan.”

Regarding Orton being champion:

“I like Orton. I guess I like all the bad guys. I guess you could say that.”

The member of the Atlanta Hawks team, which upset the Indiana Pacers in the first game of their series, voiced his displeasure of The Streak being conquered by Brock Lesnar:

“I am mad about that. I can’t believe they did that, man. They could have picked somebody better than that [Lesnar]. They could’ve got CM Punk, anybody. But I think it was a mistake. I don’t think it was supposed to happen like that.”

Editor’s Note

This is a very good interview between Whitaker and Teague, which is worth the read.
