The Teague brothers are still in basketball, but the court is no longer the center of it. Jeff Teague is one of the faces of Club 520, the basketball show he does with DJ Wells and Brandon Hendricks, while Marquis Teague is building his own lane through Backcourt Connection with former Kentucky teammate Doron Lamb.
Recent Backcourt Connection uploads have featured names such as Archie Goodwin, and Marquis has also crossed into Jeff’s space for basketball debates and old-story episodes.
Jeff’s side of the Teague story has grown fast. Club 520 started in the basement of his Indianapolis home in 2023, then moved into live events, bigger distribution, and a partnership with adidas Basketball in December 2025.
By mid-December, Andscape reported that the show had topped 422 million YouTube views and cracked the Top 20 in Apple’s sports podcast rankings. In April 2026, the Club 520 network expanded again with a new offshoot, showing that Jeff’s post-playing career is no longer just about telling old NBA stories. It has turned into a full media brand.
Marquis has taken a different path, but it still comes from the same basketball world. Backcourt Connection was being promoted as a newly launched podcast in November 2024, with Marquis and Doron Lamb bringing their Kentucky background into the show.
The channel has stayed active with guest episodes, reaction clips and basketball talk, giving Marquis his own platform instead of simply appearing as Jeff’s younger brother in someone else’s content.
The overlap is still there, though. In March 2026, Marquis was part of the Club 520 setup, and that kept the brothers tied together publicly even while they were building separate shows.
Same family different lanes
The basketball part of the family did not begin with podcasts. Marquis was the youngest child in a five-child household, and the brothers came up under parents Shawn Sr. and Carol Teague.
There was also an older brother, Shawn Jr., who was part of the family’s basketball routine as Jeff and Marquis were coming up.
Their father had played college basketball himself and handled a lot of the early teaching, from backyard work to AAU-style development.
Jeff was already on his way when Marquis was still following behind him, and the age gap between the two brothers was about four to five years.
That background matters because both brothers reached the NBA from the same Indianapolis pipeline.
Jeff went first, becoming a first-round pick in 2009, then putting together a 12-year NBA career that included an All-Star selection in 2015 and an NBA championship in 2021.
After retiring, he went back to the Atlanta Hawks as a scout and later returned to Pike High School as the boys basketball head coach, where he is still listed today.
That gives him a rare mix in one career arc: former NBA guard, current high school coach, scout, and podcast host all at once.
Marquis reached the league a few years later as another first-round point guard, this time out of Kentucky after a national championship season.
His NBA run was shorter, but it still included time with the Bulls and Nets, and his later professional path took him through the G League and overseas.
Current player records still point to his last listed overseas stop in Greece and show him as a free agent, which helps explain why media has become a bigger public outlet for him now.
He still has basketball credibility, but he is using it in a different way than Jeff.
The interesting part now is not that the brothers used to share a family name in basketball. It is that they are still carrying it in public, just in separate formats.
Jeff is leading a show that has grown into one of the louder voices in basketball media. Marquis is building his own space with a former teammate and still drops back into Jeff’s orbit often enough for the family dynamic to stay visible.
One brother has the larger platform. The other has his own room to talk. Both are still using the same game that got them there.
