With the new Netflix basketball series Staring 5, featuring stars like LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, and Domantas Sabonis, there’s a ton of buzz. But not everyone’s feeling the hype—Jeff Teague is among those who aren’t exactly thrilled about its arrival. Let’s dive into why he’s not feeling the hype.

“I would say NBA players more chill on the day to day, like it probably ain’t going to be as entertaining. I mean, it’s going to be entertaining but not as the football players,” Jeff Teague said on Club 520 Podcast. While NBA life might not be as high-energy, it’s generally less stressful, with meetings and other stuff being pretty laid-back.

On the flip side, one of the co-hosts pointed out just how intense the NFL grind is. NFL players are always on the move, working really hard to earn their paychecks. They’re practicing hard, playing games on Sundays, and maybe taking a Monday off if they win, only to jump right back into practice. He didn’t hold back, criticizing the added games on the NFL schedule and saying it’s putting way too much pressure on the players.

Even though the NBA doesn’t have those brutal schedules and practices like the NFL, it’s still a tough grind. The fierce competition between players makes every game a straight-up battle, keeping the sport lit and thrilling to watch. The hustle and dedication on the court are just as intense, making it a wild ride for both fans and players. So, the question is will ‘Starting 5’ be able to topple Netflix’s NFL venture, Quarterback?

A glimpse into Netflix’s Quarterback series

The new Netflix docuseries, brought to you by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, gives fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes peek into the lives of three quarterbacks from the 2022 NFL season. It’s like getting a VIP pass to see their world up close, showing you what it’s really like for them both on the field and off.

The eight episodes of Quarterback dove deep into the lives of Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and Marcus Mariota during the 2022 NFL season. Even though Patrick Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, is a big name with his crazy skills, it’s Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota who steal the spotlight. The players’ personal battles and stories, both on and off the field, bring a whole new level of depth to the series, making their journeys hit home with viewers.

Fans were pumped for a second season of Quarterback, but now it looks like the action’s moving to Receiver. This new series is set to dive into the lives of NFL wide receivers and tight ends, bringing fresh takes and possibly shifting the vibe from the original show. It’s a new chapter that’s going to shed light on the different but equally compelling stories within the NFL.
