Timberwolves coach Kevin McHale, a pretty fair post player himself, said Jefferson’s All-Star time assuredly will come.
The former Celtic is averaging 22.9 points and 10.6 rebounds for the resurgent Timberwolves, who visit the Garden today.
“He’s having a great year, man,” said Kendrick Perkins [stats], who remains close with Jefferson. “He’s supposed to be an All-Star. I don’t know why he’s not, but if he keeps playing the way he is he should for sure be one next year.”
But Jefferson has been great all season, and the Timberwolves are no longer a pushover. In fact, Minnesota went 10-4 in January with Jefferson leading the way. He’s averaging 22.7 points and 10.5 rebounds — which is better than both Yao and Shaq.
“I think Kevin wanted them to understand that if you throw a pass into the stands, you have to forget about it,” a team official said of the message sent by McHale when he moved down from the general manager’s chair to the bench. “You have to realize that you’re not getting that one back, and to just keep playing.”
A source revealed, “Khloe was devastated when she discovered evidence that Rashad was cheating with girls online. She confronted him, and he reacted angrily and tried to deny the story at first before admitting that it was true. He’d been hooking up with girls over Facebook for the past two weeks.”
