Wolves got a lot of play on ESPN tonight

ESPN must hate the Knicks or something. I think I saw three different sets of Minnesota vs. New York segments in about an hour on ESPN. The first one was regular highlights, mostly wolves. Then one featured McCants, they mentioned him like 6 times.

Then like 12 minutes later they showed some more talking about Big Al. Jalen Rose gave Al a little love and then they had some stat where only Charles Barkley, Big Z, and Al Jefferson had accomplished some feat at Madison Square Garden. It was like we were a contending team or something.

Was it the 20/15 on 60+% shooting in a win feat? I'm not sure if I got that right, but it was something really specific. Very cool accomplishment.

Yup that's exactly what it was..20/15 60%..I saw all this on ESPN last night and thought of you right away Calinks. I had family stuff last night, I can't believe I missed the Win. I mean they ARE pretty hard to come by nowadays.

They even ran a replay on the same PASS channel that the live game was on. It is the first time I have seen that even though the grid guide might say there is a replay. :)

Hopefully there'll be more wins to play on ESPN. I bet a win tonight would get good play on it as well.

LOL, wow. ESPN just gave us some more highlights. They seem to love McCants and Jalen Rose just said that Minnesota has a future because of Al Jefferson. What's going on here?
