Richard Jefferson
The Young Man and the Three
The Pros and Cons of the USA Select
After the Olympics, they recognized that their system was flawed. LeBron, DeWade, Amari, Carmelo, all these guys were then added on to the team. And I went from a guy that didn't play to a starter in the Olympics.
Welcome to a very special episode of The Old Man and The Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter. Today's guest is former NBA player, ESPN analyst and host of the Road Trippin' Richard Jefferson. This is one of our longest episodes ever so let's get to it. Topics include: Getting into podcasting and media, the early days of his player in-season podcast Road Trippin, the difficulties of actually winning a championship in The NBA, how he was sort of responsible for The Golden State Warriors dynasty, why Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq) was the most dominant player he's ever played against, who is on his Mount Rushmore of NBA greats. Why Magic Johnson is the greatest Laker ever (according to RJ), how Michael Jordan changed the NBA for everyone, RJ reflects on his New Jersey Nets teams, why he despises The New York Knicks, how he got into broadcasting, reflecting on just how dominant LeBron James was in the 2016 NBA Finals against Stephen Curry and The Golden State Warriors, how he evolved his game by becoming a 3-point shooter, why The Denver Nuggets have the most pressure on then to win the NBA Championship this year, why he's picking The Milwaukee Bucks to win it all and so much more.
