Steve Kyler of HoopsWorld has some great pre and post-game notes from last night's Minnesota-Orlando game. For instance, Dwight Howard said he was very pleased with Magic rookie Courtney Lee's performance (19 points on 8-of-10 shooting), joking that there was a little place under his right arm — Courtney's wing. "I just try to keep him under there," D-Ho said.

The most amusing note, though, is this little exchange between Al Jefferson and Sebastian Telfair from an earlier Wolves' practice:

"Apparently Al Jefferson and Sebastian Telfair had a friendly wager; Al challenged Bassy's ability to dunk the ball, putting $500 on it. Bassy apparently tossed the ball off the backboard and jammed it home. Bassy openly questioned Al about where his money was; Al responded jokingly, 'I don't pay people I can beat up ...' Guess Al forgets Sebastian is from Conley Island – they don't play in Coney Island."

For the record, Wikipedia lists Big Al at around 6'10, 250 pounds.

Telfair? Just a little bit bigger than this.

Thanks to Canis Hoopus for the heads up.
