Kevin Hart said, “Looking like the man on top of a wedding cake, Richard Jefferson has joined us… I’m gonna be honest with you Richard. For me now. Operating in this space what I wanna be known for is just honesty. I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. I don’t like it and I’m confused. At the end of the day, we are talking about basketball, so why the tux?
