Former Arizona Wildcat Richard Jefferson posterized Olympians and stole the show

The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Championship, and today, Christmas day, they beat them again.

The Cavs beat the Golden State Warriors by one measly point, 109-108, on a Kyrie Irvin game-winning lay up. It was a Christmas Day rematch between the two teams who battled in the 2016 NBA Finals. Most fans thought this would be a great game, and they were right but they didn’t expect our Wildcat Richard Jefferson to steal the show with his posterizing dunks.

Part of the Cavs impressive win can be attributed to Jefferson, one of the Cav’s two former Arizona Wildcats Veterans, who is still wowing fans. He’s no spring chicken, but today, if you didn’t know how long he has been playing you would have thought he was in the prime of his career.

Former Arizona Wildcat Richard Jefferson announced he was going to retire after the Cavs won the NBA Championship in 2016 then changed his mind. Cleveland fans begged Jefferson to not hang up his kicks, and before their celebration parade mentioned he just might stay around for another season.

Well, it seems that returning for another season was a great idea and Rich has not disappointed Cavaliers fans in the least.

His fun SnapChat stories and antics in the White House after POTUS congratulated his team for winning the Championship are not the only things getting him attention. This Christmas, on a nationally televised and much-anticipated rematch between his team and the Golden State Warriors, this veteran NBA Player showed he still has some hops and fire in him.

First Richard dunked on one of the best players in the NBA, Kevin Durant.

Then Jefferson Dunked on top of Klay Thompson; posterized is the word:
