Richard Jefferson Says Kobe Bryant Once Convinced Refs to Give Him a Shooting Foul

Richard Jefferson appeared on the Nets' broadcast during Tuesday's game against the Lakers and took the chance to share an never-before-heard Kobe Bryant story.

Jefferson claims that Bryant was once able to convince the refs to give him some free throws.

"I’ll tell you a Kobe story," Jefferson said. "They were trying to figure out whether or not he was shooting or not and Kobe straight told the official, ‘I haven’t passed the ball all night.’ They just ended up giving him the free throws. They accepted that. Kobe was like ‘I haven’t passed it all night.
