The Unsung Hustle Behind the Cavs Crown | Cleveland Cavaliers News

Richard Jefferson dropped a jaw-dropping tribute to Matthew Dellavedova, calling him the hardest worker on the 2016 Cavs championship team—outworking even LeBron and Kevin Love. Jefferson praised Dellavedova’s relentless grind, calling him “psycho” in the best way, and said if Dellavedova had worked just one percent less, he wouldn’t have made it to the NBA. Dellavedova, who thrived on hustle over flash, defended stars like Curry with grit and sacrifice, earning him a fan favorite status. He responded humbly, saying work ethic was his only control, and he’s now playing in Australia with the Sydney Kings, recently reuniting with his Cavs teammates for their 10-year championship celebration. This episode reminds us: behind every title are the unsung warriors who show up every day, no matter what. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
