Want to know what my favorite stat from that 03-04 season was? With AK47 on the court, the Jazz outscored opponents by 1.5 points per 100 possessions, which is decent, but nothing special. With him on the bench though, the Jazz got outscored by ELEVEN per 100! That's insane, for reference, the worst team that year, Orlando, was outscored by their opponents by their opponents at 6.8 per 100. Without AK47, the Jazz were literally not just the worst team in the NBA, they were one of the worst teams OF ALL TIME! Despite this, he led his team to a winning record and one game away from the playoffs in the strongest WC we had ever seen. I can't say he was better than KG, who had the greatest season of his career that year, but to me that was otherwise an MVP level performance, not just All-Star. It's unfortunate he was never able to follow up on that greatness, his skillset would be more appreciated in today's game.

@bryant475 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, exactly! If it wasn't for him they would've been the worst team in the league that year, as everyone predicted. They still ended up 42-40! Most people don't know those advanced stats, which is where he really shined in addition to the regular stats!

While I agree that this is a somewhat useful stat to give, I think it's overused. what SHOULD be compared is the performance of ALL teams without their best players.

It was a joy to watch him playing basketball cause it was intelligent, both in offence and defence. By the way he also won the european championship in 2007 with Russian national team and was named an MVPof the tournament after beating very powerful team of Spain lead by Pau Gasol in a dramatic final game.

However, main reason why he didn't become a legit franchise player was because he wasn't able to convert mid and long-range shot attempts on consistent basis. P.S. you forgot to show his WOW tattoo on his back. Appart from that - great content man. Keep it up.

When Yao was storming the league, when Lin, Porzi or any EU player, whole country would become a fan. But only AK47 had is Utah fans and some NBA fans.so, it's pretty obvious that he didn't get much recognition.

I was so lucky. I moved to the US for college, Utah exactly, in 2001 and got to see the prime of his career. It was so fun and exciting to watch him, especially vs my homebboy Pau Gasol, I would go down to the Delta Center every time Memphis played Utah, what great fucking times. I never knew what happened to him afterwards. Thx a lot for the input.

I got to play on the same team as his son back in 2010. Are team was called “the AK47s” in honor of him. He wouldn’t come to the games a lot because he would get swarmed by people which I could imagine was very annoying as he was just trying to watch his son play. He was a very nice guy and his son wasn’t too bad at soccer

My favorite player growing up, I even wear his jersey when I play and have a similar play style to him! They call me AK on the court haha. He had an incredible all around game, incredible at blocks and steals, great rebounder and passer, and a decent shooter. He hustled and had a great feel for the game. Unfortunately his role after 2006 change really affected him, as well as injuries. I don't think it was a lack of motivation though, he did what he could in the system that Coach Sloan (RIP) had for him. Utah was doing well as a team, so he took the diminished role. If anything, it showed his willingness to sacrifice his role if it meant being on a winning team. I do think that he would have easily posted numbers similar to his 03-06 years, and maybe even 20+ ppg if he would've went to a fast paced running team. Either way, he had a great career, and I'm glad people are still talking about him now. Thanks for this video!

Worth mentioning is how Kirilienko is in a rare group of players who achieved a "5 by five" performance, that is to have at least 5 in every stat category in a game. As far as I know, there are 13 players in the entire NBA history who have achieved this. (although admittedly we have no records before the '73/'74 season, since that is when steals and block started to be counted) Kirilenko accomplished this 3 times, only being below Hakeem Olajuwon in the number of these games. Also, he is one of the players who were the closest to achieving a quintuple double, having 14pts, 9asts, 8 rbs, 7 blks and 6 stls in one game.Certainly an insane performance.
