RICHARD JEFFERSON LEAVES BRIDE AT THE ALTAR (http://www.nypost.com/seven/07152009/news/regionalnews/manhattan/richard_jefferson_leaves_bride_at_the_al_179316.ht m)

Now that's a flagrant foul.



Former New Jersey Net star Richard Jefferson bailed on his stunning fiancée -- pulling the plug on his posh Manhattan wedding at the 11th hour without even alerting some of the guests, The Post has learned.



The cold-footed forward's decision to ditch onetime Net dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols was so last-minute that some of his oblivious friends had already shown up last Saturday at the swank Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle for the $2 million wedding that never happened.



Jefferson -- who was traded in June to the San Antonio Spurs -- dumped Nichols just before the weekend, according to sources.
She immediately called her family and friends to say the ceremony was off.
But Jefferson waited much longer, his friends told The Post.



"He called about two hours before the wedding. It was nuts," said one Jefferson pal.


He never showed up at the hotel, but "all his boys were there," the friend said. "He gave his best friend the Black Amex [credit card] for the night."
Jefferson's guests made good use of the credit card to party on their pal's dime.



Nichols did check in to the hotel on what was to have been her wedding day, and was upgraded to a suite on the 45th floor with a king-sized bed and a Central Park view, according to a source at the Mandarin.


The would-be bride was stunned, but "not entirely caught off-guard," by Jefferson's unsportsmanlike conduct, according to a family friend.
"She just wants to keep this as quiet as possible and move on. She's doing just fine," a Nichols family insider said.

:wow

[I. Hustle]

Maybe he finally saw her face.

[mountainballer]

he wasn't able to finish the homework he got from Pop earlier.

[ElNono]

...

:wow

TBH, she's not that hot. There are better looking broads out there. His ex-ex was a lot cuter, IMHO.

[phyzik]

She probably never signed a prenup. Glad he got smart. Marriage is overrated anyway when you got that kind of money.

[howbouthemspurs]

He didnt want to be overdid by Parker so he's waiting on hotter prospects!

[Ariel]

Well... I don't keep track of NBA players' women so I wouldn't know about that... But in my book, she's damn fine.

[Danny.Zhu]

Not cool at all. Is he that premature on basketball court?

[fleggy2k2]

He didnt want to be overdid by Parker so he's waiting on hotter prospects!

i bet he's gonna be a mormon and polygamy himself some hots :downspin:

that's also the first time i used the word "polygamy" as a verb. today has started off awesome.

[jag]

Not cool at all. Is he that premature on basketball court?

That's gross...why would he be doing that on the basketball court?

[JudynTX]

:nope This is not cool at all. Why wait until the eve to break it off? :rolleyes

[hater]

Good Job RJ!!

If you ain't ready you ain't ready.

way to man up.
:tu :tu

[hater]

Well... I don't keep track of NBA players' women so I wouldn't know about that... But in my book, she's damn fine.

yeah she's fine. But pussy is pussy. It'll make you come, it'll make you go.

[lebomb]

Obviously he didnt love her. I guess he realized that at the last minute. Better to call it off......even at the last minute, than to get married......e null it in a week, or divorce in a year.

[sonic21]

Better the weekend before the wedding than the weekend after!

[sonic21]

or maybe he saw how fine the women are in texas and had a change of heart

So why get engaged? :rolleyes

[Cry Havoc]

She's definitely not that hot. I mean, by no means ugly. Very attractive, but more like an 8/10.

[JamStone]

Unsportsmanlike? He was just hustling, going after loose balls again. That's not unsportsmanlike just good hustle.

Maybe he was drunk when they met and thought he was marrying Keisha Cole.

[fleggy2k2]

"Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols"

were her parents trying to be punny?


he probably found out her middle name and then just got too offended to continue pursuing her.

[MoSpur]

I think its messed up, but if he wasn't ready or finally realized he didn't want to, well its his decision. You can't fault him. Marriage is suppose to be for life and he wasn't ready for that I guess. Better to call it off now than later.

[lebomb]

So why get engaged? :rolleyes

I know, I agree...........but, maybe it took the damn thing actually about to happen, before he was like Oh NOES!!! :wow

Not only did he call off the wedding, but he broke up with her as well.

[SenorSpur]

Perhaps he heard that Jessica Simpson had just hit the open market.

[hater]

So why get engaged? :rolleyes

Why did Adam eat the apple?

women will make a guy do stupid, crazy things. It's their job.

[jag]

Men never cease to amaze me.

What he did isn't considered stupid and crazy? :lmao

[hater]

Men never cease to amaze me.

What he did isn't considered stupid and crazy? :lmao

so getting engaged when he was not 100% sure is not stupid? it is to me.

BTW, I am not saying it's her fault. But it's not HIS fault. shit happens

[JudynTX]

so getting engaged when he was not 100% sure is not stupid? it is to me.

Did she know he wasn't 100% sure when he asked her to marry him?

[hater]

Did she know he wasn't 100% sure when he asked her to marry him?

huh, he probably didn't even know that. Just realized it obviously.

[JudynTX]

huh, he probably didn't even know that. Just realized it obviously.

I don't know if I can forgive him for this and he hasn't even played in one game yet. :lol

[urunobili]

Now THAT is unsportsmanlike conduct.

That's a 15-yard penalty. :lol

[koriwhat]

bitches are crazy...especially the fine ones!

[easjer]

I'm assuming there is some backstory there, but even if there isn't. . . sometimes people get engaged thinking this is what they want and in the end realize it's not. You get to know people better, situations or circumstances change, or you change. It sucks to call it off right before, but better to do that and lose out on some money than to go through when you are unsure.

[resistanze]

Funny how one call from Luke Walton can change things.

[clambake]

i hear he's got his eye on a san antonio latina hottie.......named Hector.

[SenorSpur]

Perhaps he read the Benoit Benjamin, self-help book called "Why I married a gold-digger?"

[G-Nob]

No matter how hot she is, someone is sick of putting up with her.

Good choice, I would leave this girl at the altar too. He probably found some hot Texas chick now.

[Spursfan092120]

You'd fuck the shit out of her and call her sweetheart...say you wouldn't, and you're a liar.

[cheguevara]

8/10 is damn good in my book. So is 7 or 6/10.

[Dunc n Dave]

Someone is the NBA Forum thread said his "sources" say Jefferson found out she would be unable to have children, so he dumped her. Just here-say right now, but that is the suspected reason...

Obviously, she didn't want to move to San Antonio.

[Kori Ellis]

It was posted here a week before the wedding that he had called it off. So I'm sure that his buddies, family and everyone else knew. In fact the poster that posted it here (Ginobili is God) found out from one of RJ's friends.

We don't really need all this sensational gossip-rag b.s. about the Spurs players in the Spurs forum. Like with all the Tony/Eva drama before they got married, this kind of stuff belongs in The Club (if anywhere).

Thanks.

[Strike]

Marriage is overrated if you have 1 million dollars or 1 dollar.

I have 10 dollars and I don't think marriage is overrated. It rocks!!

I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't have moved it. :)

Thanks for the 5 minutes of entertainment guys. Carry on.

Much as I'd love to hijack this thread and turn it into a pro-marriage/anti-marriage debate, I won't.

If RJ didn't want to get married, he didn't have to.

[Summers]

I do feel for Kesha and the pain and heartache she is going through. Nobody deserves that. That was a mean thing that RJ did.

That said, I do hope she had the common deceny to give RJ back the engagement ring.

It would have been meaner to go through with it if he wasn't feelin' it. Like the old song says, sometimes "you've got to be cruel to be kind".

I believe that custom dictates that if the man breaks it off, she gets to keep the ring (or sell it or flush it), if she wants to.

[spursfan09]

Spurs' Jefferson gives dumped fiancee six-figure settlement (http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/article/2009-07-16/spurs-jefferson-gives-dumped-fiancee-six-figure-settlement)
Sporting News staff reports

San Antonio Spurs forward Richard Jefferson has given ex-fiancee Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols a six-figure settlement to help her move on after his last minute wedding cancellation, the New York Post reports.

Jefferson ended his five-year relationship with Nichols shortly after a tense Fourth of July weekend by sending her an e-mail. Previous reports said he told her that he did not want to get married two hours before the scheduled wedding time, but during an interview on the Howard Stern Show Thursday morning on Sirius Satellite Radio, Jefferson said he told his friends and family of the split on Monday, and that Nichols' friends and family were told Tuesday - five days before the wedding.

Jefferson said he chose to break up with her via e-mail because "sometimes you might write an e-mail to get your thoughts down right," according to the Post.

On Wednesday the Post reported that the cancellation was not in time to prevent guests from showing up, and Jefferson gave friends his American Express card to use for an evening of entertainment. On the Stern show, however, Jefferson said that he did not give his friends his AmEx card.

Jefferson also denied reports that he spent $2 million on the wedding, telling Stern he spent about a quarter of that.

Jefferson also denied to the Post rumors that he is gay.

"I'm not gay," Jefferson said. "That couldn't be any further from the truth. I have nothing to hide."

[spursfan09]

Part of me wonders if this has anything to do with Spurs? I don't know what it is though. Not wanting to move to SAn ANtonio?
