No thanks for AK.
Was AK ever passionate about the game? I don't think so. Maybe in Europe where he is the man but once he got to the NBA his passion fizzled after he signed the big deal. Has anyone actually see AK play lately. Dude is done. No I wouldn't want him back on the Jazz because he wants to be more than he is.

Can we confirm or deny whether Eenie-Meenie was the man who broke into AK's home back in September?

Confirmed. And I have to confess, AK gave Masha a free pass that night.

It's scandalous AK is still getting paid. 13th year for a guy who has one of the worst off-season work ethics in the league. Just look at his stats from last year. He has no range (not that he ever did) and was Shaq-like at the FT line. And this from a guy who made his living driving to the hoop and flailing his arms in the air like an octopus hopped up on meth, just hoping to be bailed out by the refs. AK needs to retire and open a bookstore in Russia where he can sit and read his novels in between waiting on customers.

Ak was a very unique and special player at one time. So he didn't live up to his contract. I guess that we just forget all the good things about people when we focus on the negative. Obviously, there is no place for him on our current team, but I will always love Ak for the 5x5 games and the double digit blocks from a small forward. Yes, Ak did have a passion for the game, and he was a very exciting player to watch at one time, regardless of how his career played out.

What made me such a big fan of his early in his career was his passion, the all-out hustle on every play that distinguished AK from just about everyone else I have ever seen play. It was amazing, but he couldn't keep it up and the hustle plays led to injuries.
It was the injuries that brought his decline because it cost him to lose a step, then two and three. This caused him to stop hustling like he did early in his career because of the likelihood of further injuries. Why he never developed his shooting is a mystery to me; he could've been a good shooter; for instance, one season he started off the season making his first 30 odd foul shots before missing one.
But it was the injuries that killed his career, the injuries brought on by his reckless, kamikaze play, which was his trademark and defined his early greatness, that proved his undoing.
