In this paper we address the question as to what extent the quantum-mechanical nature of the process is relevant for teleportation of A spin-1/2 state. For this purpose we analyze the possibility of underpinning teleportation with a local-hidden-variable model. The nature of the models, which we consider as legitimate candidates, guarantees the classical character of all the probabilities which can be deduced from them. When we try to describe the teleportation process following two different mathematical routes, we find two different hidden-variable densities, which thus end up having a doubtful physical significance within the "reality" that a hidden-variable model tries to restore. This result we consider as a "no-go theorem" for the hidden-variable description of the teleportation process. We also show that this kind of conflict arises when considering successive measurements (one of which is selective projective) for one spin-1/2 particle.
