The lawyer for Nets' forward Richard Jefferson has called the case bought against his client bogus, claiming that the accuser of the Nets forward was "incredibly drunk" at the time of the altercation at a Minneapolis club last winter, Newark Star-Ledger columnist Dave D-Alessandro is reporting.

Defense attorney Joe Friedberg added the plaintiff's only motive is to set up a subsequent civil case for financial gain.

"I think we all know this guy (Jefferson) is not the type to get involved with something like this," Friedberg said. "Something is really out of whack, and beneath this is the potentiality of a civil suit."
