AK47 has played limited minutes in two games since his return
from his injury, and he's already looking good. He had 14
points in 14 minutes, a couple blocks, steals, and assists- a
little bit of everything, as usual- last night against Seattle. What
more could you ask for in an athlete? He's smart, athletic,
versatile, tough, fearless, and unlike many great athletes- black
or white- he's even well behaved. I've never seen him trash
talk or celebrate excessively or taunt the crowd or any of that
junk. Even the Seattle commentators couldn't help gushing
about him. The color guy- maybe Mark Ehlo- said that he had
great instincts and a "nose for the ball". It's just a joy to watch
him play. Edited by: JD074

It's so nice to see him back.He is a human highlight
reel.It looks like a video game when Kirelenko is out
there.He makes the game look so easy.I would love to
see him on the all-star team.

yes, without a doubt AK-47 is one of the most talented all-around basketball players in the NBA.

it's just a shame he's been so inconsistent. i had expected him to take the next step to become an elite player by now. but after getting a big contract, it seems he's content to just be a solid pro. that's a shame.

hopefully this season will take him to the next level.

He has been inconsistant. Last year he sucked it up, but in the two years before he was teriffic. This year he's back. The more you use him the better he plays. He's one of the very best passers in the game. Last year he did not have the ball in his hands and floated around the perimeter shooting jumpers. when he's playing at his best he's one of the top ten players on the planet.
