  • Richard Jefferson said that baseball players are the worst when it comes to getting involved in affairs on the road
  • He explained that they are able to do it more and keep it under wraps more than NBA and NFL stars
  • Richard Jefferson said baseball players have been flying under the radar for too long

If there’s one thing that most people know about athletes, it’s that they live a high life thanks to the money they make and the fame they earn. Often, that involves being involved with multiple women in various cities as they travel. 

The NBA was rocked by the Ime Udoka controversy last year, and Shaquille O’Neal is among those to have openly admitted to cheating in his life too. But for the most part, these dalliances stay out of the papers. According to Richard Jefferson though, baseball players get away with a lot more than NBA stars. 

“Basketball players aren’t the worst in the sports,” Richard Jefferson said. “Baseball players are by far the worst of all the professional athletes. Like in the NBA, you’ll play four games in five nights. Baseball is different.

“Like when people ask me about professional athletes, I’m like, ‘Yo, there’s levels to this.’ Like, football players are only on the road eight weeks a year and they stay at the team hotel… Less opportunity.

“Basketball players, we play so many games. Baseball players, man, they’ve been flying under the radar for way too long and I know way too much. I’m snitching.”

There are times when things go public as well, basketball players aren’t immune to getting called out for indulging in some wild affairs. But for the most part, athletes have learned how to keep everything on the down low, which is why fans are always desperate to learn more about their personal lives. 


Zion Williamson Found Out What Happens When These Things Go Public

Zion Williamson has suffered more than most other players after his romance with pornstar Moriah Mills went viral. She exposed a number of his DMs, along with other information about him, and then went as far as to say that he physically abused her

The NBA has to deal with stories like these from time to time, so players have to be extra careful to not have their image tarnished. From what Richard Jefferson says, they could learn a thing or two from their MLB counterparts.
