Andrei Kirilenko was not only one of the most unique and interesting players of his time but he was also one of the best. Today we take a dive into the forgotten legacy of AK-47.

AK-47 is easily the greatest nickname of nba history. If somebody wrote that in a story you would say “that’s hokey, that would never happen,” but it happened.

I think There were people who says that "Getting Posterized, to casual fans looks like you are bad. but to the true fans and people who understand the game, Getting Posterized mean that you are Active and does't give up in defense." That's why players that often got dunked on, usually have long career as defensive players.

Only 10 players have done it, Hakeem had SIX, AK 47 is second with 3

Kirilenko is a good case study on how questionable comparing different era's per game statistics can be. Its really undervalued just how much the pace of the modern NBA is responsible for a lot of the statistical inflation we currently see. Per 100 seems to be a much better tool for comparing players from different eras.
Back when i was playing nba live. I’ve always wanted kirilenko on my team.
I work in Magnolia at Best Buy, AK47 was my customer. He would come in and literally buy anything i recommended. He was cool, and super weird looking.

@@timboslice8559 Not necessarily, bc people at the park are also much shorter than the average NBA player. So one can be a similar style player with a similar ratio of height to the average player. For example I'm 5'10 with a 6'4 wingspan (AK47 was 6'9 and 7'4 wingspan). I was slightly above average height compared to the other players, and usually the third or 2nd tallest on the team so I would be PF/SF, plus I have a decent vert at 33-35 inches, AK47 was 37 inches, plus the way he played like the defensive instinct, and being a decent shooter, rebounder and passer, etc. So yeah it's definitely possible, won't be exact but more or less :)
My 3rd all time favorite player. My top 3 Favs are 1. Bron (his highlight dunk where he stared jordan down made me a basketball fan and I've been a Bron fan ever since) 2. Tmac (he was the first jersey I ever owned it was an Orlando jersey and it was my older brothers but he gave it to me) 3. Ak-47. (His nickname use to be one of my favorite guns until I shot one and just didn't enjoy how it felt. Still beautiful tho)

Nice video! Have you seen the one by DugriGM about him? I appreciate that you looked at advanced stats like he did! I started following the NBA around 2002, and he was my favorite player growing up bc of how unique he was! He totally broke the stereotype for Euro players as being unathletic shooters who weren't good at defense, lol. The dude was a freak of nature! He's the only forward ever to average more than 3 blocks per game in a season, not once but twice (And the only one 6'9 or shorter besides Ben Wallace to do so)! Also, the only player of any position, to finish a season top 4 in both steals and blocks, and the only player besides Hakeem the dream to have more than one 5 x 5 game (at least 5 pts, 5 reb, 5 ast, 5 blk, 5 stl). He did it 3 times, Hakeem- 6! He was also an awesome passer, decent shooter and rebounder, hustled a ton, and had a real instinct for the game. Very underrated player for sure! We can only imagine how he would do in today's game in a system that valued his tools, he would likely be a 20+ ppg, scorer with similar other stats- maybe even more assists bc of the higher scoring nowadays- and maybe even more rebs, blocks, stls, who knows. Btw, I have him on my 2K franchise with all time players, I set a draft to pick from all of them- so my starting 5 is AD at C, AK47 at PF, Kawhi at SF, MJ at SG, Ron Harper at PG. So far we are 17-3 this season!

As a lifelong Jazz fan I felt like we did this man dirty.

If Deron Williams wasn't handed the reins at such a young age, would he have still driven Sloan to quit and retire midseason just a few years later?

How was AK47 underappreciated? He was a bonafide stat sheet stuffer. One of the most versatile players we have ever seen. The only thing he wasn't all that proficient was scoring.

lol i remeber playing fantasy basketball back in the day and ak in his prime was a top 3 pick! Because of his fg%, 3pt%, Turnovers, blocks, steals, pts, rebounds, ft%...he didn't hurt your roto team anywhere. Usually went first pick.

Yep! He was very rare. The closest players these days to him are Jaren Jackson Jr and Draymond Green, he was like a combination of the two but with his own unique athleticism and instinct. Around 2002-3, I started following the NBA, playing the video games (NBA Live 2003 for the win!), fantasy basketball (AK47 was a stat stuffer, so he was usually my 2nd pick), and in person (I also modeled my own game off him). He became my fav player growing up bc of his unique abilities and was really fun to watch! I currently have him on my 2K franchise with the All time players- My team is: C: AD, PF- AK47, SF- Kawhi, SG- MJ, PG- Ron Harper. So far we are 33-7!
I remember him fondly. That hair though... Edit: 3:51 this play is disgusting 🤤
He is damm good player, but in the wrong era and team at that time.
Definitely not underrated he was a beast two way player Always had to guard the opposing teams best forward or guard
Dude was legit and he’s a cheat code on 2K
I tell everybody chet holmgren is a taller ak47, and that's a good sign.
AK was that guy
Only 1 player in NBA history who made 5x6 without any OT Also NO ONE in NBA history haven't better numbers in each career P.R.A.B.S. per game categories than AK-47 And only 7 got better numbers overall in each other, but they played much more games Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kevin Garnett, Patrick Ewing, Robert Parish, David Robinson and Vlade Divac

I use it, it's pretty cool :)
