Some folks (including me) wanted him badly when he left Minny. SA dodged a bullet big time here :lol

Not sure what the hell is going on, but he has massive family issues.

In NBA 2K5, I had my franchise mode with the Spurs set to where free agents are automatically signed. I had no part in signing new guys. I simulated the free agency period and noticed an unusual player on my roster. Andrei Kirilenko. I'd heard the name but was completely unfamiliar with his skill set or statistics. Played a few games and lo and behold, he was incredible. Every criterion met to fit the bill as a San Antonio Spur. Rebounding, defense, and a pretty good midrange and three-point rating to boot. It was then that I knew, this video game in its current state must manifest into reality.


How sad
