Richard Jefferson will all the time have an attention-grabbing place in Spurs lore. He was arguably the most important free company signing of the Huge Three period when he arrived in 2009 after a profession yr in Milwaukee, however the match was awkward, and he was traded for Stephen Jackson after simply two-and-a-half seasons. The connection between him and the Spurs has by no means been excellent (a minimum of from a fan perspective), however there’s seemingly no sick will (not like gamers like Jackson and Robert Horry).
That being stated, Jefferson continues to be basketball analyst with an underrated humorousness, and that confirmed within the pilot episode of his new YouTube present, “The Richard and Larry Present”, with Larry being the Larry O’Brien trophy. In a teaser video for the primary episode, Jefferson “begs” his previous teammate Tim Duncan for an interview and to deliver Larry alongside, and Tim “begrudgingly” accepts (though it seems RJ additionally kidnapped Larry whereas not answering calls to deliver it again).
The official interview got here out at this time, and it’s as humorous as marketed. That includes each of their dry senses of humor, Duncan completely performed the function of “why am I right here answering these dumb questions”, whereas Jefferson acts like a nervous, starstruck interviewer. Issues instantly get awkward with a query in regards to the 2004 Olympic group, which neither participant needed an excessive amount of credit score for, plus a bit sport of “Begin, bench, minimize” that included Tim’s personal teammates and a few goats, which he needed no a part of.
Tim additionally talked in regards to the Joey Crawford incident and that point he shoved Jefferson — then a member of the Warriors — away from the Spurs’ facet of the scorers desk and gave him an epic stare down. They each tried to power the opposite to sing their favourite karaoke track to no avail and mentioned how Tim was a vogue setter and by no means new it, contemplating his epically dishevelled denims are actually being worn by some notable NBA stars.
The entire thing is hilarious and value a fast watch when you will have 5 minutes.
