Al Jefferson on Inside the NBA

The way he went at D12 in crunch time with confidence was definitely encouraging. Hopefully, he can continue to build off of that.
 
As has been mentioned before, in his day McHale had the most unstoppable moves in the NBA, and he tutored Big Al for years, which definitely shows in Al's game. When McHale got the ball in the post, he was very patient. If he didn't have an immediate shot, he went to work, taking his time. He would execute several moves without ever takin a shot, just ball fakes. After a little of that, his defender was so off balance/out of position that he could virtually score at will.

Although his teammates (like Ainge) called him "the black hole" (because the ball never came back out once McHale got his mitts on it), McHale was wildly successful. Once he got the ball down low, he had one thing in mind: to score, even if it took some time. He was very methodical.

This is what he taught Al to do, over and over and over. Big Al has been habituated to that mentality, and I think it's a big reason he might have more trouble adjusting to the Jazz's style than the average bear.
 
You guys remind me of Tom Nissalke. If Mchale were with the team at some point during the season last year, then I could understand, but he hasn't been with the TWolves for the past few years. Rambis has been the coach and the 'tard David Kahn has been the GM.

Speaking of Tards WTF are you talking about? I was speaking of the Garnet trade...dope.
