Wolves push Jefferson for All-Star spot (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Hidden in the frigid North of flyover country and playing for a team well below .500, Minnesota center Al Jefferson needs all the help he can get to make the All-Star game. The Timberwolves are trying to give it to him. The team has sent a marketing package to the 14 Western Conference coaches who will vote for reserves on the team urging them to consider the 24-year-old Jefferson.
