Richard Jefferson Trolled LeBron James Over his Contract Extension

NBA superstar Lebron James is the face of the NBA, but he’s also the face of the Lakers. And that face is most likely going to finish his career in Los Angeles. LeBron recently agreed a two-year contract extension worth $85million, and while most thought the deal was a good one for the Lakers, some disagreed.

Or they disagreed just to troll.

Former NBA player Richard Jefferson was not a fan of the extension, or so he pretended not to be.

Overpaid 🗑🚮🙄

Jefferson definitely knew his comment would illicit some reactions, and it sure did. Here’s a sample of some of the responses below:

• funny these people can’t sense sarcasm lol
• @richardajefferson you tweakin
• @richardajefferson somebody had to say it
•  it’s actually sad and eye opening how many people are so clueless and doesn’t understand this is a joke. It’s definitely an eye opener
•  he gave u a ring 😂
• why would anyone think he was serious there great friend on and off the court lol
• @richardajefferson yu takin crack

Clearly some people get that he’s trolling, while others think he’s serious.

That means RJ did his job. Of course LeBron isn’t overpaid, he’s the King. Richard Jefferson totally gets social media.
