Britt Robson/On The Ball on listing Al Jefferson as one of the runners-up for the Most Improved Player award:
The Jefferson shout-out is not a homer call; "Big Al" assumed team

for second in double-doubles.

How many seasons does Kevin Love get of bad
vibration minutes with the T-Wolves, trying to live down the Mark
Madsen comparisons? Or do the Midwest farmer’s daughters really make
you feel all right even if the fans are booing you? Wouldn’t it be nice
if Ben Howland could just convince him to stick it out?
