Richard Jefferson, in TWO Q and A’s, talks his first days with Nets
In Q and A’s with Dave McMenamin of ESPN and Michael Scotto of The Athletic, Richard Jefferson, then of New Jersey, now of YES, talks about his days in New Jersey with the Nets two Eastern Conference champions and how desperate he was to get that ring in 2016 with the Cavs after failing twice with the Nets.
Here’s a sampling...
On being drafted:
McMenamin: “At first, I didn’t want to play for the Nets.
“I got the call that I was drafted by Houston. And being the young, confident kid that I am, I was like, “Yo, they were one or two games out of the playoffs, and it’s Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley and me? We’re good.”
