Leaving something you love is never easy. For Kobe, it took a season of goodbyes. For LeBron, it cost airplane tickets and misguided hatred. For vetern and now NBA champion Richard Jefferson, it took everything he had to leave; and he still couldn’t do it.
After Cleveland’s godsend against testy matchups with Golden State, Jefferson proved he has plenty left. Today, he announces he’s got two years left. For now.
Richard Jefferson has announced he's re-signing with Cavs on a 2-year deal

Jefferson averaged 5.7 points and 5.3 boards in 20 minute contributions to the Cavs Finals matchup.
Cleveland is a city that teaches you that you can’t leave business unfinished. Jefferson is at home with this decision, and we’re sure his teammates couldn’t be happier for him and Lil Kev.
