Jeff Teague recalls inadvertently downloading $5 million worth of music over 5 days while searching for Kim Kardashian's s*x tape in 2007
Jeff Teague enjoyed 12 seasons in the NBA and was part of some memorable teams. Prior to his arrival in the league, the former Wake Forest standout almost got kicked out of college in an attempt to watch Kim Kardashian's s*x tape.
On the Club 520 podcast, Teague said he almost got in trouble with the authorities during his sophomore year at Wake Forest.
"My sophomore year at Wake Forest, they told me about Lime Wire. I was downloading thousands of music. Got thirsty. Everybody like, 'did you see Kim Kardashian s*x tape?' I got to go find this. It was downloading for five days," said Teague.
Days later, the police came knocking on his door. Not knowing what he had done, the six-foot-three guard saw his coach already shaking his head.
Teague was asked to bring his laptop and it was confiscated due to excessive downloading of music worth more than $5 million, including the Kim Kardashian s*x tape.
"They take me to my lab. I take my laptop with me," Teague revealed. "They take me to this office and were like, 'You know you downloaded over $5 million worth of use.' I'm like, 'Damn!' They're like, 'You owe $5 million?' Like I ain't got no money."
When asked by the police what triggered him to do this, Teague said it was because of the Kardashian s*x tape.
