Andrei Kirilenko

What

about AK-47? Why do you keep

bringing him up all the time? You said ever.

You guys won.

McDavid.

No Kirilenko.

No

Dusty Bond.

No, if you said his name, I might guess it.

Like AK-47?

Something like that.

And he's got initials.

What's that guy's

name?

Can we say AK-47, do you think? You think they'll give it to us?

I mean...

Boy, there's some good ones, too.

408 says, "The Baron Davis dunk against Kirilenko," that's huge.

I knew this would come up.

209, great point, "Steve Young run for a touchdown against the Vikings." Um, that's a great single play.

That is amazing.

Thanks for pulling that out, man.

Uh, the Baron Davis dunk over, uh, Kirilenko, the We Believe Warriors.

That was amazing.

combination.

Kind of like a – A modern-day Kirilenko.

I ain't going to go that far yet, but I can see some similarities in the game.

You know what I mean? And then, look, if you kind of mid and rebound, he can help you with that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it, it didn't end how you wanted it to, right? It, it certainly could've ended better, but, um, you know, let's not forget Kirilenko.

Yeah.

Uh, uh, and Mehmet Okur.

He would be guarding a wing, and he'd be like, "You know what'd be better than guarding the wing on this weak side? If I just snuck over and tried to get inside Shaquille O'Neal so I could block Shaquille O'Neal's shot." And of course, I am talking about a player who everyone loves.

You know, the nerds really love to get into the deep cut history of Utah Jazz legend Andrei Kirilenko, who does a lot of things out there.

I think he is an extremely complicated case 'cause I didn't know where the line of demarcation was-

Yeah, yeah

... a fine year for Cabernet.

People talk about, [laughs] people talk about 2004, right? There's a lot of grainy footage in 2004 you have to find.

You have to go into the archives to find some regular season 2004 Utah Jazz stuff with Andrei Kirilenko.

But he's playing a- he's playing against the Miami Heat, and he's guarding this guy, and somebody that's one play, one guy away from him drives into the paint, right? He sweps, he steps over, right? He forces the pass to the short corner.

Yeah.

You think about Karl Malone, and John Stockton, and me and Deron Williams, and Andrei Kirilenko, and Mehmet Okur, and you know, the, the, the new generation of guys, they-- in some of our new generation, they're missing that element, because a lot of things have been handed to them.

But I, I have so much love and respect for Coach Sloan, may he rest in peace, because he gave me a chance to...

I was a hardworking dude.
