At the end of his career, he won a championship with James, averaged 12.6 points per game in 2017, and scored 22.6 points at the peak.

Richard Jefferson was born in an ordinary family in southern Los Angeles, California. His father was addicted to gambling and his mother raised four children alone. In his childhood, he traveled with his mother to the warm climate of Phoenix City, and thus escaped from the wind, rain and chaos. Phoenix's sunshine brought hope to him. In college, he fought side by side with burst shooting guard Gilbert Arenas. The "General" left countless wonderful memories on the court and allowed Jefferson to spend four carefree years. The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 changed the pace of the world. Jefferson, who was in New Jersey at that time, felt the fragility of life when reading textbooks for the children. He decided to use basketball to bring people joy and hope. During the rookie season, he formed the Nets' "Air Trident" with Jason Kidd and Vince Carter. With his surge in bouncing and gorgeous dunks, he led the team to two finals historic progress; he healed the pain of New York with his hard performances one night after another. In the third year of his career, Jefferson ushered in his pinnacle: in the 2007-08 season, he played 82 games, averaged 22.6 points per game, becoming the second highest scorer in the Nets' history. He once naively thought he would retire at the Nets, but the management refused to give a big contract, and he was sent to the Bucks and the Spurs to wander around. Disappointment and doubt swept over, and he could not escape the shadow of indecision in life. The wedding with his girlfriend who had been dating for five years caused a storm in the city due to one night's escape. The luxurious ceremony of $2 million was finally left with the bride alone in the empty room. During the crisis, James' phone call ignited hope for him again. In 2015, he joined the Cavaliers with a minimum salary and became a reliable substitute around James. In the finals, he replaced the injured Love in two games, helping the team achieve a shocking reversal in history and finally won the first ring of his career. At that moment, 15 years of persistence and experience turned into the most beautiful reward. After retiring, Jefferson opened a new chapter with a cumulative income of US$116 million in 2017 and a championship ring, becoming an eloquent commentator. Along the way, he wrote his life with "the talent at the beginning" and "the glory at the end", but he also learned perseverance and responsibility through the ups and downs. The long journey has become a past, and now he can say frankly: My story has no regrets.
