ak has been a stud in these playoffs so far and hopefully he can run with kobe for a couple more jazz wins....does anyone know if turiaf can play? lets hope not

Good job. Pokazi kobe kto ty takoi. Vperoid AK .

Classy comments from AK. I'm glad Bryant acknowledges that. And I hope the refs will let them play basketball, not that LA style that includes 50 free throws.

if AK gets 5 blocks and 14 points and 8 rebounds it sure seems like we allways win! In the last game as soon as he hit his first shot it was like they had to completely change the way they were guarding us.
I am pretty sure he has the biggest impact on whether we win or not. Even boozer gets better shots when AK hits a few. D-Will is absolutly unbelievable! Keep him healthy and DA-JAZZ are gonna be good for a long, long, long time!
AND BY THE WAY THE LAAKEERs ARE MY LEAST FAVORITE TEAM MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE BIG WHINNIN BABY WHO COACHES THEM!

Kirilenko is my favorite player on the Jazz, he is amazing! I like to call him the "Shot Block King". As anyone ever noticed how humble he is? I think thats really impressive. Russians are GREAT! :)

I wish I could suggest to sloan that why they can't surprise the opposing team. Like fore example instead of running the offense to boozer, why they can't use AK47 as a primary scorer. He's capable of doing that, I remember when Memo and Booze still not on the team, AK47 is the main guy in offense. In this way, Jazz is more unpredictable in the offensive end.

@ AK47

Hold on a minute. AK is the most versatile player on the Jazz and a tremendous talent. But let's not forget that before DWill and Booz came along, the AK-led Jazzmen didn't even make the playoffs.

AK is a class act. He has come a long way and is a great asset to the Jazz. Adversity has made him a better player. He's got good perspective and a great "get the job done" mentality. I agree that he could be given more opportunities to contribute more as a scorer especially if things aren't going Booz's way.

Kobe is a talented player but I don't like the Laker's manipulative, movie star mentality coach nor the team mascot:
Jack Sicko-son (Nicholson)

AK has always been a team player. He has not necessarily been a coaches player, but I don't hold him at fault for that. I think that everything that has happened with AK in the press the last couple years is completely Jerry Sloans fault. Sloan has the ability to take his anger or "grumpiness" out on one player and it is usually AK. Also, Sloan has the tendency to play favorites, Harpring is #1 in that category, and it happens to be the same as AK's position. Let's face it, AK is the "X-Factor" of the Utah Jazz team, their max player. He always has been and always will be. Every other team in the NBA knows it and acknowledges it and I just wish Jerry Sloan would too.
AK does something that no other member of the Jazz can do. He plays both sides of the court, offense AND defense. He also does something to the opposing team that no other Jazz player can do. He gives the other teams a leary, unsettling feeling. He is a lerker, you never know when he is watching you and when he is behind you!!!! GO AK, KEEP IT UP!!!!
