Big Al is sharing the basketball knowledge!

Jefferson said he wanted to have his first camp at Prentiss despite the ability to have it in a bigger city with better facilities. But he wanted to bring things back to his roots, and not charge a dime.

“I don’t consider giving back, charging money,” said Jefferson, who is signed through 2012 and makes $11 million per year. “I hope next year is bigger, but it’s not about making money.”

Thats the Al we know and love!

I love Al and his take on money.

I remember Christian Laetner, Kevin McHale, and Chucky Shackleford coming to my little kids basketball camp ages ago.

That was a fun watch. Sounds like Al might be cleared to play on the 24th! That would be awesome. That would give him nearly two months to get back into game shape. He may return to full form during this upcoming season at that rate.
