Richard Jefferson believes that Kyrie Irving does not receive enough credit for his mental approach to the game.
Speaking with ESPN’s Omar Raja, Jefferson shared his observations on the Brooklyn Nets superstar, with whom he spent two and half years in Cleveland.
“Kyrie’s an assassin. He is a Mamba disciple. … All he would do is watch old video clips of Kobe, old clips of Jordan,” Jefferson said.
