There is a long history of disses in Richard Jefferson's basketball career, from not being invited to the Draft Green Room to not being picked for the Rookie All-Star Game to not being named to the NBA All-Star team. Now comes word from the Arizona Daily Star that some (unnamed) critics are saying "$3.5 million is insignificant to Jefferson, who is in the middle of a six-year, $78 million contract." Phooey, says, the Star in praising RJ: "$3.5 million is not chump change".
