they would probably pay him more and he could play in his home country. why wouldn't he want to go . i'm not sure that he is the biggest idiot. ...

I do know one thing he looks freaky
no offense to freaky people

This photo is so ... Duuuuuhhhhh.

i hope what andrei kirilenko knows exactly what he's doing, what he ought to do and what he ought to expect for himself. if he were to go play for a team in his home country, russia, i don't have a problem with that because
he is entitled to his thoughts, opinions as well as to what his decision(s) might be. although i am a huge fan of los angeles lakers' star kobe bryant, i honestly believe that whatever the russian basketball star wants to do, not only would he take that opportunity but he also has to try his hardest in order to make his opportunity/opportunities become more realistic. but anyway, kirlienko may not be perfect but i hope he doesn't end up throwing away the things he has that many talented basketball players have (or don't have) - talent, skill, language and most of all, whom he is, what he is and what his expectations shall be for what may happen next or what might happen later. i don't care if he wants to go back to russia or stay in the united states, i just hope that his life as well as his own sports' career would have some meaning. i feel the same for players like kobe bryant, carmelo anthony, chauncey billups, tayshaun prince, derek fisher, pau gasol, lebron james and many of those who are proud to be in the NBA, reagrdless of if i'm in favor of them or not. so, andrei, your time will eventually come. just do what you believe is necessary and hopefully you'll understand if what you're doing is either right or wrong. best of luck to ya'.

huh?? andrei back to russia? please give some information! im me tombayu_galm1
