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.

Underrated for today’s generation. Anyone who grew up watching 2000s NBA knew that he was a powerhouse.

What's sad is that a lot of fans just remember him for getting posterized by Baron Davis, but people really don't realize what a great defensive player he was.

[datdoo]

One of the best weak-side defenders ever as well as on the ball. He would’ve been perfect for today’s NBA. He could guard 1 through 5 and switch everything

[williamdavis]

This guy was quite good.

A jack of all trades really and the Jazz were super lucky to have him.

No mental errors, played amazing defense, could defend 3 positions (sometimes 4), decent scoring ability and a very high basketball IQ.

A coach's dream.

Thanks for the support recently, don't know how I ever went without making videos man

If I remember correctly he also has the most 5x5s of any player and has been within a couple pts, blocks steals, whatever of a quadruple double more than once

Edit: I checked .there's been 22 5X5 games since the NBA started keeping track of steals and blocks . Only 10 players have done it, Hakeem had SIX, AK 47 is second with 3

i like that you do vids on B+ type players not the A+ players everyone makes vids on. i also dont get why your channel is so small when this is the same or better quality as the big channels that make content like this. it feels like one day soon the algorithm is gonna pick you up and you're gonna take off.

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.

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.

[wouterschuurmans]

I was totally sucked up in basketball when AK had his prime, Jazz was so badass back then. Another great vid bro

[coolkarl]

Back when i was playing nba live. I’ve always wanted kirilenko on my team.

[drichardbailey]

AK would be an awesome small ball big now, just came in the league 15 years too early.

[Ohwell]

I really liked AK47 before, those were the times I just started nba. I'm a Kobe fan and LA always play against Jazz. I love watching them go at each other

[billdover]

AK-47 was an absolute badass and I loved his defense.

[ryelor]

Lifelong Utahn and long-time Jazz fan. AK was so fun to watch back in the day. Another killer vid, man!

Found another great NBA YouTube to subscribe too. Awesome content, great ideas for videos. I get so tired of seeing the same players covered, this just jumped to my top 5 NBA YouTube!

[jamaaldagreatest]

You deserve so much more subscribers and views dawg. And I really don't type that sort of thing for other youtubers, but I been slowly watching more and more videos of yours this past week or two, and your content and the quality of it is. so good. A lot better than other youtubers covering ball

[uttermanbo]

This isn't a slight. Rather a funny tidbit. This guy just looked Russian man. I don't know to describe the difference between a Russian look compared to an American Caucasian look. But Andre could be named Andre 3000, and I would still point him out as Russian.

Now seriously, this dude was ice cold man. Athletic, and was such an underrated talent.

[mamamo]

My favorite player of all time, modelled my game after him. Unfortunately, injuries and team direction shortened his prime
