Richard Jefferson has joined the army of well-known former or current basketball players who are delighted by the atmosphere created by Partizan’s fans.
Richard Jefferson is a former NBA player and a current analyst on ESPN. He won an NBA championship ring with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. He played in the NBA from 2001 to 2018. Upon seeing a video of Partizan’s fans, he reacted:
“Okay, this has to be said. No college crowd, no NBA crowd comes close to international. Not! So when you ask the players “oh, how heavy was the atmosphere? Did the crowd boo?” It’s not!
Once you play in front of such an audience, everything else is like playing in a library! That’s it, I said what I said,” said the former NBA champion.
Richard Jefferson played in the NBA for the New Jersey Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Denver Nuggets
