Richard Jefferson may have played sparingly for the Cleveland Cavaliers in his two seasons with the team, but he has endeared himself so much to Cleveland’s fans and players. Aside from being a well-loved figure, he also provides good insights every now and then, making him a true authority on the subject that is the Cavs — LeBron James even.
Jefferson joined FOX Sports Ohio’s Fred McLeod as they looked back on James’ difficult game-winner to beat the buzzer in Game 3 against the Raptors. Knowing the Cavs star all too well, Jefferson offered his personal take on his former teammate’s epic moment.
“If we were to play H-O-R-S-E that is probably the shot he would beat me with.”
Here’s the full clip:
Jefferson isn’t just familiar with the Cavs and James, but also the Raptors after going up against them in the past two postseasons while donning the Wine and Gold.
For what it’s worth, James’ rarely takes and makes that shot so Jefferson would stand a fair chance when they do go up against each other.
The Cavs have a golden chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a possible sweep of the Raptors on Monday in front of their home fans.
