The Timberwolves have begun the process of hyping Jefferson as this year's Most Improved Player, handing out pamphlets claiming, "In Big Al We Trust." Yet, Jefferson endears himself by his graciousness when the discussion of his chances of winning the award occurs.
"I just think LaMarcus (Aldridge) is more deserving than anybody because he wasn't even playing last year," says the gracious Jefferson. "No minutes or slim to none. What he did this year has just been incredible. If anything, I should have gotten it last year. This year, if I get it, it would be a wonderful honor, but I just think LaMarcus deserves it more than anybody."
His time in Minnesota may be unjustly brief, but if choosing to let Telfair walk is the path taken by the Timberwolves, he will justly have an opportunity elsewhere. Either way, this summer will be full of work for the pint-sized point guard.
"Well, it's going to be different this year for me because I won't be able to play a lot of five-on-five until I sign a contract," says Telfair. "Usually, I get back into it by lifting, running and I bike. Then you get back onto the court, get in the gym every day and taking shots, getting individual workouts and then playing five-on-five. Every day."
