Kirilenko highlights in EuroBasket preparation matches

Yeah, AK is fragile and maybe not strong enough for the rigors of the NBA, but there is no doubt he's a special talent. Very few players in the NBA now or since could make some of the passes he was making, and on a team that uses him right he could still be a borderline All-Star in the NBA. I was surprised he's still this good; these games show that he was seriously injured last season and now has recovered.
 
Thnx for posting these, like I've always said if the price tag is right I'd love to have him back. Like Hayward mentioned in his interviews over the summer when asked about AK, he does a lot of little things that his team notices but maybe not all the fans see.

AK on the prime Nash-era Suns would have been great.
 
I have always been a big AK fan. His problem is he is a round peg being shoved into a square hole. Put AK in phoenix's offense and he is a completely different player. AK's best position is the low block where he can pass to cutters or be creative. Asking AK to play the 3 and shot 3's regularly is asking for problems. The real problem is that while I'd love to have AK back for a good price, say 4-5 million a year for 3 years, the Jazz already have way to many PF's. We need a player who can shoot 3's and play small forward.
 
his time is over, for some reason he could not fill expectations, he was paid like a star and played like very good role player. that's it.

he won't play for 3mil a year. He needs money:)

I think the tattoo added toughness. I would re-sign him. If Utah doesn't, San Antonio will.

I think you mean Chicago will, continuing their habit of signing Utah players with major flaws that aren't known to the common fan.
 
Thriller you act like we haven't seen AK do these things in the NBA, he does them and more/better, now if you want to talk about him being overpaid okay sure, if you want to talk about how his body may not be able to withstand the rigors of bigger NBA players and longer season sure okay. But all the other negatives being said are just bitter people holding on to their hate due to him being overpaid.
