For those that don't know, Al Jefferson came into SLC last night....Here's a brief audio interview with AL as well as Greg Miller

From what I've heard, he'll be introduced officially to the media at 1pm today.

That's the spirit! Seriously, though, I think that's a good sign. If he's willing to go this far into the tax when he doesn't think this team could win it all this season, I imagine he'll be willing to do what it takes to acquire a high-cost missing piece down the road.

Greg also said it was "kinda fun" landing AJ. Hopefully he really enjoys spending money.

I'd be a little more worried if KOC said that.

Does anyone know if the presentation of Al to the media will be televised anywhere?

maybe nba.com will stream it

Any update on this? Anyone have a link to the news conference?

There will be a live stream on 1320KFAN

Don't see it. I must be blind. Probably just listen in on LOCKED today for sound bytes

Dude was sweating bullets in the airport. I imagine his conditioning is going to be pretty intense. He has to get into better shape.

Just becasue he is sweating it doesn't mean he's in terrible shape. I got a friend who is in great shape and he sweats like an unthawing bottle of water.

Hey is this thing going on today for sure?

It happened earlier today...if you mean the press conference welcoming Al Jefferson.

If anything it looks like he was sweating out of nervousness than anything else. LOL @ Greg Millers bro hug.

It was kind of a hot day today. I was sweating like a pig today at the U walking from one building to another. I am not in NBA game shape but I am not slouch, either.

Crap, is it on the website? I thought this topic would have more post if it was going on.

The concerns over sweating....cmon guys...really? That is what you are looking at?

He sounded great, he is going to be great here and the fans will love him. I can't wait to see what he does on this team.

well if anyone finds a link to the video of the press conference hit this thread up. i can only find audio

Solo interview and press conference.

Al Jefferson:

The first thing he(Deron Williams) said to me is I'mma make you an all-star, thats what he said to me and I like to drop the phone.

P.S. I like how AL calls Deron "D Williams" cuz he probably doesn't know how to say Deron, haha.
