Does anyone know what "Al" in Al Jefferson is short for?

[chawx]

Aloysius Snuffleupagus Jefferson Jr. the Third esquire.

 

[chawx]

The resemblance to his father which he was named after is uncanny.

 

[gregbroncs]

I can relate.

Sincerely,

Not Gregory

This. Not Gregory either.

 

[Marty McFly]

Al-ways blamed by Jazz fans and media?

 

[Sean]

Short for Alejandro.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Dang, I was hoping it was short for Al Knockyourblockoff
-dream shattered

 

[Beantown]

Alabama.

What are the chances that Al Jefferson listens to this song to get pumped before each game?

Probably the greatest music video ever!
If I was Al, that's what I would do.

"Apparently Lost" on offense

....hilarious!

Short for Alejandro.

I know that we are young.
And I know you may love me.
But I just can't be with you like this anymore.
Alejandro.

She's got both hands
in her pocket.
And she won't look at you,
Won't look at you

She hides true love
En su bolsillo.
She's got a halo 'around her finger.
Around you.

You know that I love you boy.
Hot like Mexico, rejoice.
At this point I gotta choose,
nothing to lose.

Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Alejandro.
I'm not your babe.
I'm not your babe, Fernando.

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch.
Just smoke my cigarette and hush.
Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Roberto.

Alejandro.
Alejandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.


Alejandro.
Alejandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.

(Just stop. Please. Just let me go. Alejandro. Just let me go.)

She's not broken,
She's just a baby.
But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad.
and all those flames that burned before him.
Now he's gonna fight your fight, gonna cool the bad.

You know that I love you boy.
Hot like Mexico, rejoice.
At this point I gotta choose,
nothing to lose

Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Alejandro.
I'm not your babe.
I'm not your babe, Fernando.


Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch.
Just smoke my cigarette and hush.
Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Roberto.

Alejandro.
Alejandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.

Alejandro.
Alejandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.

Don't bother me.
Don't bother me. Alejandro
Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Fernando.

I'm not your babe.
I'm not your babe, Alejandro.

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch. Fernando.
Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Alejandro.
I'm not your babe.
I'm not your babe, Fernando.

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch.
Just smoke my cigarette and hush.
Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Roberto.

Alejandro.
Alejandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.
Ale-ale-jandro.

Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Alejandro.
I'm not your babe.
I'm not your babe, Fernando.

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch.
Just smoke my cigarette and hush.
Don't call my name.
Don't call my name, Roberto.

Alejandro.

Also one of the greatest bands ever, and this is probably the best song ever.

[Hitman]

Per NBA.com: "Full name is Al Ricardo Jefferson."

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Also one of the greatest bands ever, and this is probably the best song ever.

It is good.
I am partial to "I am a Rock", or "A Bridge over Troubled Waters", and for some reason "Cecilia".
Simon has an all-time great with "50 ways to leave your lover"
You can't beat a song with ryming like that.

 

[moevillini]

ALVIN!!!!
