Richard Jefferson chucked his jersey into stands


While Richard Jefferson was happy to see Matthew Dellavedova get his championship ring before the game on Wednesday night, he was furious late in the fourth quarter - so furious that he was ejected from the Cavaliers-Bucks game.

It started with Jefferson and Thon Maker getting tangled up on a play. Maker appeared to wrap his arm around Jefferson's waist, and both of them fell to the floor. But the officials called a foul on Jefferson. Jefferson wasn't happy about it so he started yelling at the refs, and two of them gave him back-to-back technicals, which got him tossed.

Then, as Jefferson was walking to the locker room, he ripped off his jersey and threw it into the stands. One dedicated fan dove for the sweaty jersey.

This whole incident led to the line of the night from the broadcasters calling the game.

The Cavaliers won, 113-102, and we may or may not be hearing more about what happened here on Snapchat later (rjeff24).
