In an interview with Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, forward Richard Jefferson reminisced on his time spent with the Cleveland Cavaliers and spoke about his eventual departure. Jefferson, who now plays for the Denver Nuggets after being traded by the Cavs in the offseason, was a valued rotation player in Cleveland for two seasons.
In his first season with the Cavs, Jefferson was a part of the Cleveland Cavaliers first championship in franchise history. A championship that ended a 52-year drought of professional sports titles in the city of Cleveland. One brought to The Land by none other than its prodigal son and a crowned prince that had been through thick and thin both with each other and with the 13 other players on the roster.
