Stan McNeal of The Sporting News takes a look at one of the NBA's biggest surprises: Richard Jefferson's scoring prowess. Jefferson has spent much of this season in the league's top five in scoring, rarefied air for a player who averaged only 16 ppg last season and one teamed up with one of the game's top offensive stars. He may not continue at this pace, Neal writes, but his All-Star credentials are "legit".
