Thats because hes a sexual. Gays have a tendency to put weird things in their mouths and talk like they dont stink.
Yeah, it's the offseason and I'm tired of talking about Boogie and Kawhi, so here is something different:
Jefferson was awful as a Spur, but he seems like a funny guy, tbh.

It's obviously ironic about Time Duncan. Who would you like to play with lebron, kidd, haywood. Tim Duncan is actually the number 1 if you understand irony.
question 2: worst places to live: 1) San Antonio, 2) Milwaukee.....no . Cleveland and oakland win out.
His reasoning is literally "I don't like San Antonio cause you people hate me" Then goes on to admit it's milwaukee
Tell us more...
RJ and Tim are still good friends, so he was obviously just busting TD's balls.
If you have never caught the podcast with Tim and Richard, it's probably one of the best TD interviews out there:
some people don't get sarcasm...
I wish Jefferson had been a good player (like at least as good as Gay has been), because his personality would have been really cool to see in the spotlight. Also, he and Tim seem to have the same sense of humor, so it's no wonder they are still friends. Though RJ did a great job in that video.
I don't think he was that bad to the point where he was significantly worse than Gay. I think the main difference is that with RJ we had huge expectations for him, and with Gay expectations were more tempered because of the injury. RJ turned himself into a 40% 3PT shooter while he was here, tbf.
I mean he wasn’t really wrong about SA tbh. It’s not a “dump” and he was clearly joking around due to Spurfan talking so much about him over the years (lol), but it’s not a great place to live either. I’d still take it over Cleveland or Milwaukee though.
He does the local broadcast for the Nets now and he's quite good. He's also highly complimentary of the Spurs whenever he talks about them seriously. He credits the Spurs for teaching him how to lengthen and preserve his career.
Jefferson wasn't a bad player. He was just a bad fit for the roster here. That was talked about at length from the minute his signing was announced, and it was neer clear exactly what PATFO thought was going to happen with him on the roster.
He was only 28 when he came here, so people who talk like he was "in decline" or something are ridiculous. He was averaging around 20 Points/36 the last couple of years before he came here, and immediatley dropped to around 14. He was also one of the best in the league about drawing fouls before he came here, and then suddenly that went to too. It wasn't because we already had a Big 3, and he was an afterthought. Then people ed because his numbers suffered.
His last two years here, when he had settled in to more of a stand-and-wait 3P shooter, he shot .440 and .421 from the arc. That's an average over a whole season, but people still screamed every time he missed a shot.
It's not his fault that he wasn't a good fit, and there were no modifications made to try and make better use of him. I don't know if there is still an archive, but there were a LOT of posts here talking about that, and wondering what PATFO were thinking, as soon as they signed him. IMO, that was one of the worst FA signings in the Duncan era. Not because he couldn't play, but because they had no plan for using him properly.
That was pretty funny. Still want to see Milwaukee though to visit the Pabst museum.
That podcast was actually really good. A bunch a gamer nerds on the loose.
BTW - the video is hilarious. He's messing with Timmy - period, end of story. Just like he later messed with Channing Fry ("Who is the most over-rated player currently in the NBA). His comment about SA was that people there hate him, no matter how much positive stuff he says about them, and he's reached a point of just saying "Screw 'em." But he was smiling, and I don't think he really gives a damn.
There's nothing there to get your panties twisted over.
We have good reason to hate him. He was worse than a No-Talent Ass Clown. He was a high-talent, absolutely zero effort ass clown. He ing wasted 3 years of the Big 3’s prime. The most frustrating player ever.
Agreed. The Road Trippin podcast with Duncan was actually really well done. Interesting that the host on this Allie Clifton now works for the Lakers. She left to go to LALA land when LeBrick did.
Not a FA signing. It was a trade for the corpses of Bowen, Oberto, and Kurt Thomas IIRC. From what I remember everyone here was onboard with it and really excited the possibility of a Big Four.
Correct. The Spurs had to send salary to get RJ. It didn't work out that great - just OK. He was just not a good fit with the roster in place at the time.
Spurs had to part with a first to get rid of him and that’s probably one of STs happiest days in the last decade besides 2014 and signing LMA tbh
Yeah, pretty much everyone was on board with it. Although I would dispute calling Bowen a corpse. My issue with the deal (and the 09 offseason), was who we brought in to fill the roster holes - Keith Bogans. (The "centerpiece"! Pop, you are a bull ting asshole!) Bowen was released and we could have had him back. Bowen would have made that team twice as good... maybe even le contender good. Even with RJ transforming into a passive .
Damn, that's right. They had to reach out and get him. Gave up a damn pick. It was a ty move, no doubt.
But there really were a LOT of comments about him being a good player, but not a good fit. There's always a bunch of people who think that every new Spur is The Answer. But a lot of the people who know basketball were onto the bad fit immediately. Like I said, I don't know if there is still an archive accessible, but the comments were there.
But forget about the comments. Go look at his numbers, and how much they changed in just a few months' time. It's like night and day. He didn't get that much worse. There just wasn't a place here for him to do the things he did best. Was he for the Spurs? Oh yeah. But not because he quit knowing how to play the game in a matter of three or four months.
One of the softest jackasses to ever play in the league..
Here, this was all I could find in the minute I was willing to devote to it. Jefferson had a good game, and he was talking about all the people who had said that he would be a bad fit here. The only point being that people had, indeed, said that he would be a bad fit here. I don't want to get into all the other arguments about him as a player or person.
