Man, I guess we are a worth story as of late. Fastbreak just came on and we were one of the main headlines. I'm going to see what they say.

Yea, as it came on they mentioned something else then they brought up Minnesota and talked about how they are growing up fast before our eyes. Just now they talked about us again. It's crazy to see that we are one of the 2 or 3 headlines on the show. I would think they would hype Lebron's first game winner or something.

Yeah, were after the break.

We were one of the main stories during the intro.

I'll make another post once our segment is over; not that I respect Jalen's opinion, but i'll just post what he said and what others had to say.

Our theme was "The Wolves are growing up fast" and "Right on target"

Haha, Jalen Rose is pushing for Big Al to be an all-star, he said Al's 20 and 10 looks a lot better now that they are winning. They didn't really do anything special, they just showed regular highlights and used us as a headline for the show. Rose gave real props to Foye though, and they mentioned him as "4th quarter Foye"

That was weak.

Jalen Rose just said "Al Jefferson is an all-star this year"

and Foye is getting confident as a young guard

and that we're having a winning month ..

That's all I got out of it.

edit:::

Al Jefferson was Jalen Rose's choice for "Hoop Hero" and is still begging for Al Jefferson to be an all-star :lol:

I love it.

Haha Rose just said he normally doesn't give hoop heroes to losing players but he gave it to Big Al. Once again he said he needs to be an all-star. Rose is in Al's corner!

Webber and Payton think he should make it as well.

Last night on TNT. Kenny didn't think so and It turned into a debate as to whether or not good players on bad teams should make it.

Kenny Smith's career was made - literally made, like with his bare hands - by Hakeem Olaujuwon so he probably has a unique perspective on what constitutes an all star, but he's got to realize that the difference between the Dream and a coach selected bench all-star is enormous. I can see Webber not counting that factor as he's been a good player on a bad team before too. Payton probably just agrees with whatever C-webb says then goes back to thinking about high quality hydroponic cannabis.
