During the halftime show, Jefferson will speak about his experience in Las Vegas during the summer league.

During his 17 years in the NBA, Jefferson played for the New Jersey Nets, Milwaukee Brewers, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets.

He was a part of the Cleveland team that won the 2016 title.

The best season of Jefferson's career came in 2004-05, when he averaged 22.2 points and seven assists for the Nets.

The Nets made back-to-back NBA Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003 but were swept by the Lakers and lost to the Spurs.

Jefferson has been an analyst for the YES Network since his playing days were done.

Jefferson does not seem to have any experience as an official. He has opinions on how the job should be done after many years as a player and pundit.
