“I definitely met my own expectations — you know, skinny kid coming here from Russia, no language, first time outside the country,” he said. “I wouldn’t say I’ve been a superstar in the league, but I would say I definitely been an elite player and a good player in this league.”

Fan expectations?

“I feel like I probably could have been a little more effective, but if there was only one change I’d make in my career, it would be if I could cut my injuries in half.”

You can say what you want about Kirilenko but averaging 3.3 blocks per game both in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 season was something incredible for a small forward!
 
AK47 should've been born 10 years later. Cut his injuries out, have him focus more on 3 point shooting, and he'd be a God in today's era.
 
He was such a spectacular player! We don't see often alley-oop dunks since he left!

What an outrageous talent he was. Not sure anyone has ever flown around the court the way he did.
