Okay, so I'm a big AK fan and would love to see him succeed and play well for the Jazz. But I haven't seen him stuff a stat sheet this year at all. What happened to him being in the top 5 in blocks and steels? AK is still trying to be an offensive force at the expense of his Defense and all around play.

Too many people are blinded by stats and more stats.They are useful at times but not neccessary to influence the game and be a major factor.Kirelenko has changed his game and is more of an ALL-Star now then some of the "statistical" ALL-Stars we get each year at the ALL-Star game.

Also, don't worry Dapper2k he will have some of those all around, stat stuffing games before the Playoffs are over.
