The Al Jefferson Appreciation Thread!

[Purch]

Though we're still trying to figure out why he's always sweating

he's nowhere close to Nathan Jawai.

anyway, it appears that I completely forgot to let my appreciation for Big Al Jefferson be known. thanks for all those slick post moves and how you made Yao and Amar'e your personal bitch.

AL Jefferson seems to rape Houston so he'll be a perfect fit for Utah since we do that on a normal basis

Can't wait to seem him do something on a team that's actually going somewhere. I swear, we are the worst team in the NBA when it comes to maximizing players potential. I think we got crap developmental skills. Hopefully this new regime can change that.

Yeah, I think a big part of that was/is that the team never really had an identity. It seems like we've just been putting in role players forever. I'm hoping that the new regime does what they say - have a vision, build a team to play that way, develop and build a strong franchise for long-term success. If they do that (and yes that is a bif "if") then I think the player development piece will fall into place.

I don't think I've seen a player as beaten down by losing as Al was (that includes the last couple of years with KG). I'm glad he landed in a good situation, that at least gives him a shot at reaching his ceiling that he wouldn't have had here. Now he's got an opportunity to show he can break some of the bad habits he developed while he was stuck on crap teams.

Blah!!!!!!!!!!! ... I hope we pound the piss out of him and virtually kick the crap out of the Jazz by 30. Al is gone and I choose to roll who is with us - not those who've conceded and left.

Yeah, how dare he get traded, the audacity!

What's he supposed to do? Pay a cement company to encase his legs into the middle of the Target Center court so he can't be forced to leave?

That would be a bad ass gesture actually.
