Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love and former Cavs small forward Richard Jefferson reunited under hilarious circumstances on Wednesday night.
Recently, Jefferson joined the YES network for the Brooklyn Nets and was seen on the pre-game show with Nets announcer Ian Eagle before the team’s matchup against the Cavs. During the show, Love snuck up behind Jefferson and put him in a friendly sleeper hold, which showed that despite now being a part of separate teams, the two still have a tight friendship together.

Jefferson is 38 years old and last played for the Cavs during the 2016-17 season. Not only that, but he was also part of a historic 2015-16 team that came back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors to capture its first championship.
The journeyman was certainly a fan favorite in the Land and he is definitely welcome back whenever he pleases.
