Utah Jazz Alumni: Al Jefferson being Big Al in China

What’s not to like about Al Jefferson? He’s such a cool guy off the court, and on the court he’s a throwback player that makes you feel like he’s in a class room teaching, not getting buckets on a basketball court.

His footwork, post moves and professionalism were beloved by Utah Jazz fans for three years. Big Al averaged about 18 points and 10 rebounds per game as a member of the Jazz. He only led them to the playoffs once, but the Jazz were always a competitive team when equipped with his services.

Jefferson, now 33 years old, played for the Indiana Pacers last season.
