Guess you never saw him play for Russia
Minnesota finalizing 2 year $20MM deal with AK - per Y!Woj
- Thread starter Mr. McGibblets
- Start date
Guess you never saw him play for Russia
After he ripped the Jazz off 80 mil, right? Not that I care about what he outside off the NBA
I guess that I forgot Russia was NBA basketball, oh wait, I didn't, it's not.

When I read the contract... I laughed out loud. I'm glad we're not signing him for 10 million per.

Not a good argument. Team Russia posted AK like Atlanta posted Joe Johnson. It wasn't about scoring in the post. They started with a mismatch in the post, ran cuts and screens off that mismatch, and then used the threat of scoring off that mismatch to find easy buckets.
Again, not the NBA. He is the same AK that sucked most of the time in Utah, just older.

AK sucked "most of the time" in the NBA? Don't remember that.
You need to get that checked out then.

Or you might take a casual glance at his stats.

AK comes back to the NBA with the same kind of 3-point % outlier in his last year in the league (37% vs. 31% career) as Marvin (39% vs. 33% career). Both are around 12 PPG and 5 RPG in 30 MPG for their careers, although AK does more in BPG, SPG, APG, and <<cough>> TO/PG.
That being said, I speculate that Marvin will be more productive in the Jazz system than even a relatively healthy AK will have with the Timberwhites. One key will be how much more of an impact defensively a 31-year-old Kirilenko has than a Marvin Williams five years Kiri's junior, who comes in with a good rep on D also.

Marvin can only dream of being as good as AK. But that's a good spin, I'll give you that.
Alright, then vastly underperformed and could never cope with not being The Man because he never was and never will be that on a winning team. He should probably sulk some more about it. It's a shame he's only made $100 million ******* bucks.
