"Utah was on ESPN again Friday night, but Al Jefferson had some extra national TV time a day ahead of the Jazz's latest widely watched comeback win.
Jefferson also got a bit of expected ribbing, a few compliments and free advice from his old boss while a studio guest on the Atlanta-based TNT's Inside the NBA postgame show late Thursday night.
First, the team compliment via Ernie Johnson, who was accompanied by Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Kevin McHale.
"The Utah Jazz have been the talk of the NBA," the show host said, "because what they've done this week has been nothing short of sensational."
The Jazz are even "sensationaler" now after adding to that list of comeback wins Friday, edging Atlanta 90-86 after trailing by 11 early in the fourth quarter.
That, of course, came after much-publicized comeback wins over the Los Angeles Clippers a week ago and back-to-back rallies against Miami and Orlando."
