It was a career night for Al Jefferson as the Wolves downed the Spurs 117-107 in Minneapolis on Wednesday night. The Suns three point shooting was as cold as the weather outside the arena, as Phoenix made just 10 of their 27 three point attempts in what was arguably the Wolves most...

...the real reason I'm bringing all this up isn't because I don't think we should've traded Big Al for KG (obviously that was a good trade) -- but had we not jumped on that opportunity, there may have been another had we just waited. And yes, I'm talking about Pau...

As a Celtic fan I sit nervously waiting the trade of Allen Iverson from the 76ers and am adamantly hoping that Danny does not pull the trigger. Rumored throughout the summer I was worried that the Celtics would have to part with Big Al or Gerald Green and I was not happy. Now the Celtics...

Given my affinity for Big Al, I figured I'd talk about the rumor being tossed out that the Timberwolves were going to be jettisoning him and the #6 pick for Amar'e Stoudemire. Simply put it makes no sense. Before we discuss, let me just display their 08-09 stats. First off...

Co-Rookie of the Year (along with Jason Kidd) in 94'- 95'.
Perennial NBA All-Star even after the plethora of injuries he suffered.
Truly, Grant Hill is special. But can he ever stay healthy since breaking his foot in the 2000?
I was hoping it would be this year.
