Gay rumors?[edit]

Due to the biography guidelines, we can't add anything about a person being gay/bisexual without clear sourcing, and the article on Media Take Out^[1] doesn't name a person, thus, it cannot be attributed here.

According to the July 16, 2009 edition of the New York Post online, Richard Jefferson stated "I'm not gay" when asked if his rumored sexuality was why he ended his engagement.

Nightclub incident[edit]

Here is a Star Tribune article saying the police are investigating an incident involving Jefferson. I wanted to link to it here, since I'm not actively involved writing this article, and I'm not sure how to best fit it in. Thanks. matt91486 (talk) 21:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

adding infobox for broadcasting career[edit]

given his presence on numerous broadcasts across YES Network for the Brooklyn Nets and on ESPN as both a studio and a colour commentator, i think it's right to have an infobox dedicated to it. i didn't include it in the lede infobox cuz it seemed too crowded, but if it fits better, go for it Ayyydoc (talk) 07:56, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
