Many people remember the story of the Nets' three masters, although only a few short seasons, and the results did not meet expectations, but because the visual effects were really exciting, Kidd was responsible for passing, and Carter and Jefferson were good at dunking. It's just that Richard Jefferson's presence in this group is not as obvious as the two teammates, of course, history will evaluate objectively. Therefore, in the era of the former Durant Harden Irving Big Three, in the media long recognized that these three are among the top five in the History of the Nets, standing next to Dr. J.
Jefferson will not forget the Nets' recorded personal peak career. However, what impressed him most was not his own lethal compartments, but the "teamwork" that had a more winning foundation. Jefferson was quite pleased with their atmosphere at the time, with seven or eight men scoring in double figures, and it was strange that a team with Kidd was not. However, this is not the complete truth, and behind the nets' good impression, for Jefferson, it is also crowded with pressure to be overused. But New Jersey just prompted Jefferson to grow, so he will not complain, and compared to the San Antonio Spurs, which are also collective, Jefferson is not so polite, bluntly saying that he has played in the worst places, and in 2021 he is still using the "Spurs jersey" to mock himself, especially for the fans there.
It also shows that Jefferson is very undulating and very dangerous. If it weren't for joining the Cavaliers, activated positioning to compete for the title, maybe we would only lament in advance that another star was forgotten. So, although the playing time is not long and the form has long fallen out of the average line, Cleveland's jersey is still very important for Jefferson, and the 2016 championship full of meaning and value is the most realistic witness.
Despite his age, Jefferson's outburst was not inferior at all, and it was a breakthrough in the barrier against Durant (plus Thompson), who was second in the league, in the Christmas war. In the finals, Jefferson also replaced Lefour, who had concussion and struggled performance, to start the fourth position, and the effect was good. Later, even when Love returned, Jefferson gained Tyrone Lew's trust.
Jefferson, who has activated his leadership temperament, has become a locker room role model with Fry, and often starts the show to create an entertainment atmosphere, which makes the Cavaliers who are under too much pressure a little more relaxed. In fact, Jefferson originally had no chance to join the Cavaliers, but Jordan Jr.'s verbal agreement to unilaterally tear up the Mavericks allowed Cuban to allow free agents to choose again, so he chose to join the Cavaliers in order to compete for the championship.
Richard Jefferson, who did not waste the last drop of oil until the real big reversal with the team, was very satisfied with his career and intended to end it perfectly, so he decided to retire. It's just that Cleveland and James are too enthusiastic, and after listening to various retentions, they are not willing to let the big brother-in-law on the basketball court continue to stay in the Cavaliers to compete for the championship. However, the Golden State Warriors, after losing such a huge capital of 73 wins and 9 losses, introduced Durant to modify the lineup to the greatest extent, such a sensational posture even LeBron James could not be overwhelmed, jefferson's efforts are more difficult to fight against the general environment.
In the 2017-18 season, Irving successfully left the team to let the Cavaliers management send Jefferson away according to the business routine, from the Hawks to the Nuggets. At this point, the veteran has done his job and has little motivation to stay in the NBA. While the old father was shot from the fact that it was completely announced, Richard Jefferson retired. Debuting as a star, winning the championship before retiring, scoring close to fifteen thousand, even if it is not based on the role of commentary alone by basketball court performance, Jefferson can talk about success both for himself and his peers.
Instead of lying on the crown, Jefferson was in danger of being killed in the face of a severe blow from the Warriors' small-ball storm and lacking a breakthrough, and the running tactics successfully helped Lay the foundation for Cleveland's big comeback. It's a process that any role player is satisfied with, and Jefferson also said, "I feel like it gives me the best chance to win a championship and contribute to a championship team.""
The Cleveland Cavaliers championship lineup is on the go, but that history will never be overlooked.
