While speaking to the media recently, Timberwolves forward Andrei Kirilenko spoke about why he returned to the NBA after playing for his native Russia and also how he was a fan of the Sacramento Kings when they were coached by Rick Adelman.
"It's very flattering when the GM, the coach, players are calling you and saying, 'We need you, we need your experience,"'
"That Sacramento team was one of my favorite ones: A lot of Europeans, great flavor for the game," he said from Moscow after participating in the NBA's "Basketball Without Borders" camp intended to grow the game worldwide. "I said, 'Wow, I really have the chance to play for a coach with a team-oriented system, kind of like they play in European basketball."

I normally don't call players garbage but this guy is completely garbage. He came in as a decent offensive player that drove to rim and was not scared to try to dunk on anyone. He was a very tough defender and shot blocker. But, that was then and this is now and he is horrible he just shots 15ft jumpers that he consistently misses and has no defense. He has no passion for the game anymore. Bad signing wolves.

@AJ you obviously don't understand basketball if you're quoting Skip Bayless
