With Al Jefferson one of just five players averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, and second in the NBA (behind Dwight Howard) in double-doubles with 26, the Timberwolves have launched a campaign to get him to the All-Star game.
The team has given free tickets — not T-shirts or mouse pads — to fans filling out All-Star ballots by the bunch. They can vote however they choose and do. Most fans, either not noticing Jefferson's numbers with Minnesota or paying attention to the Timberwolves' 5-30 start and Jefferson's lack of defense, have found other options. He did not crack the top 10 in the latest balloting.

Anyone done this or know more about it?

Players on terrible teams tend not to be all-stars, unless their numbers are just brilliantly spectacular. Tony Campbell was, I believe, 8th or 9th in scoring (around 23 ppg at the time) at the break in 89-90, and there wasn't even any thought he'd make it.

He finished the season 14th, sandwiched between Clyde Drexler and KJ. Nice company.

I appreciate what Big Al has been doing for us and for the team's future, but unfortunately the West is too stacked in that position.
