The key role that Richard Jefferson played in ending a 52-year professional sports championship drought for the city of Cleveland is not soon to be forgetten.  After Wednesday's victory parade attracted an estimated one million people, Cavaliers fans got a intimate opportunity to interact with Jefferson on Thursday.

He held a special autograph signing at the Tommy Bahama store in the Beachwood Mall in the Cleveland suburb of Beachwood.  From 12-2 p.m., Jefferson signed photos of Lil' Kev for the over 300 people in attendance.  

Lil' Kev became one of the lighter stories of the playoffs.  It was the name given to a model that Jefferson found in a Tommy Bahama ad who bears a striking resemblance to Cavs All-Star forward Kevin Love. 

After winning the title, Jefferson may be hanging it up after a stellar 15-year career.  In the NBA Finals, he became a key perimeter defender while also averaging just under 18 minutes per game in the postseason. 

Earlier in his career, Jefferson was one of the NBA's top stars with the New Jersey Nets.  After being selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2001 draft, he spent the first seven seasons of his career with the franchise.  

Four different times in his Nets tenure, Jefferson averaged over 19 points per game.  In his first two seasons, he helped the team make back-to-back NBA Finals appearances.
