After Damon Jones tries to roast him, Richard Jefferson: This is why he got soup thrown on him

In 2007-08, the Nets went 34-48 then traded Richard Jefferson to the Bucks for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons that offseason. New Jersey went 34-48 the next year then 12-70 the following year.

Appearing on ESPN, Jefferson was telling the story of getting dealt when Damon Jones interrupted:

Jones:

Guess what? The Nets got better.

Jefferson:

If anyone was wondering why this man got soup thrown on him it’s because of absurd statements like this 😂😂🍵🤦🏽‍♂️.. Nets 2009 12-70 and started the season 0-18. My silence was me trying to not expose him on National TV. 😬😬 https://t.co/DMYRwLualo

J.R. Smith infamously threw soup on Jones, who was a Cavaliers assistant coach. Jefferson also played for Cleveland while Jones worked there.

Jones:

I want to apologize to @Rjeff24 for what I said on @GetUpESPN yesterday.I think he’s a great player and the Nets didn’t get better when he left.But the Punch line I came with was fire and on point!So for that reason I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make tons of people laugh!

Jefferson:

Oh shut up, Damon Jones.

I do not accept the apology. Not from him.

I honestly can’t tell whether this is kayfabe. But it’s definitely great content.
