He is not mentally weak, he plays in a system that is not meant to suit him, by a coach that by all accounts is a hard @$$.
Forward Andrei Kirilenko used a towel to wipe tears from his red and swollen eyes Sunday while discussing his minimal role in the Jazz's 84-75 loss to the Rockets in Game 1.
Mentally weak.
You're mentally weak. He just cares too much ;-). Don't worry he won't have to worry about a lack of playing time, his only worry will be the tough decision of which Blazer he wants to posterize.
Presumably, it will be be whichever of my guys is playing in garbage time, up by 40.
We are, however, quaking about AK47's 11 ppg and 4 rebounds. Oh, yes, and his crying, complaining to the media, and lack of work ethic.
He complained to the media because he wanted to be traded from a system that doesn't fit him. They kept him anyway because he's a good basketball player.
He is a defensive stopper, and a slasher who is great off of steals and fast breaks. His last two seasons weren't that good because he wasn't in a comfortable environment. He's more likely a 15 point a game scorer, who will give you around 7 rebounds a game, with 4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks. He does it all.
Honestly do you not like him as a player, are you playing devil's advocate or are you taking shots at him because he's a on a team that will challenge you in the playoffs?
Honestly I would love to see him on the Celtics, once his contract is up if we could get him for around 8 mill a year once Ray is gone.
