he's a shot blocking beast!!! almost 7 block per game in the past few games?? he deserves the defensive player of the year for that!!!!
Dude's a beast. I have the pleasure of checking the boxscore for every Jazz game and looking at Kirilenko's stats (he's on my fantasy team). Anyways, in the less than 10 games I've seen this season from the Jazz, most of which Andrei has played in, he has had a huge impact on the defensive side, as always, the most recent display being against Shawn Marion and the Suns. His intimidation, steals, blocks, ability to change shots and play above average one on one D and off ball/help defense is a nightmare for the Jazz opponents. Plus, he brings it offensively as well, to show that he's a focul point on both sides of the floor. Right now it's a toss up between Bruce Bowen and AK for DPOY. AK's missed a few games this season, but his great defensive play is too much to discount him from being a legit canidate. Camby would have won this if he was playing as many games as AK.
AK-47 is the sickest player on defense for this ERA. He's the only player I've ever seen get a triple-double by not getting points, rebounds, and assists. He's could of got a quadruple-double couple times this year, but some games were with assists others were steals, and some were even turnovers
