CLEVELAND Richard Jefferson isnt new to the stress of the NBA Finals. Hes been there before in his 15-year NBA career.
But now, the Cavaliers are preparing for Game 6 against the Warriors.
This is the game that will make or break their season.
And Richard Jefferson isnt taking that lightly.
In a letter published on The Players Tribune the same place Kobe announced his retirement Jefferson wrote a heartfelt letter to Cavs fans, saying the team needs them now more than ever.
He starts off talking about the fame Lil Kev has gotten in the last few weeks, something that started out as a joke between teammates. Something funny that brought the team together and made them stronger than ever.
He wrote the letter Wednesday night, just about 24 hours before the start of Game 6.
Right now Im at my computer. Im wired. Its the night before the biggest game of my career and probably the biggest game in Cavs history. Im finding it hard to relax and wind down. All I can think about is the sound of the Q on Thursday night. The last home game of the season.
Jefferson makes sure to mention that a lot of their success is thanks to LeBron.
And Jefferson doesnt care if youre a LeBron fan or not.
Bron has something Ive never seen. The way he says follow me and Ill take you there with actions, more than words, is like no one else Ive ever played with. Hes the kind of leader who makes you want to carry the weight too. I feel indebted to him. We all do.
He ends with a statement about the Finals and how much he knows they mean to this city. He knows that Thursday night is the biggest night of the season foreveryone.
This has been one h**l of a ride. Lets keep it going.
