RJ is such a great personality... if only he started playing ball during this generation people would appreciate him much more. Plus with this being the social media age... he'd be one of the biggest personalities in basketball.

[@suraceryan]

No doubt

[@BringBackStoning]

[@Jkev24]

Yeah no doubt. I feel like the closest player we got to him right now is Anthony Edwards (Play style is like a modern version of RJ and he's got a good sense of humor like RJ, but maybe isn't as quick witted - though that could get better with age since he's really young right now).

[@quincybryant5231]

Life time nets fan. He was my favorite player. He should've made atleast one all star team.

Remember when he called off his wedding the night before because his fiancee wouldn't sign a prenup? Then proceeded to just give his credit card to his bestman and told gim to treat everyone for wasting their time. Dude's a legend. Edit: the prenup reason was Stephen Jackson. RJ did leave his girl on their wedding day too back in 2009 but no reason was given.

[@mheppal]

thats epic lmao

[@quistopherdavis9549]

I don’t think that was Jefferson. That happened to Stephen Jackson, who played with the Spurs back in the day

Richard Jefferson, in his prime, was an all star or borderline. . He was good and had some highlight dunks to boot.

Richard Jefferson really was good in the first half of his career. His career numbers suffer cause he was a role player for the second half of his career. But he was legit in his prime. A quality defender throughout his career. New Jersey Jefferson was a great player.

Richard Jefferson was REALLY good in his prime. He was the perfect SF on those early 00's Nets teams that went to 2 straight NBA Finals. Would have been an All-Star and All-NBA in 05 if he didnt get hurt. Never was the same player after that. Its weird we live in a world where Joe Johnson went to like 8 All-Star games and RJ never went to one. Nothing against Johnson, he was a fine player BUT Id take prime RJ over prime JJ any day, any time.

Richard Jefferson is the man! I grew up watching the 2000s net and the team with RJ, Jkidd, K-Mart, and kittles. White mamba was also on that team during that time. I had the chance to meet RJ briefly when he was on the Jazz and practicing at Baruch college before playing the Knicks. He came out the side door and I screamed his name , super nice guy and took a pic with me.
