The contract doesn't bother me. I just don't think he was good enough to get his number retired.
In nba 2k rankings, overall if out him at the same level as Eaton. Maybe better.

Yeah…it was a video game.
I think Utah has been more generous then they should have when it comes to retiring jerseys anyways.
That's a statement I can get behind. But because of it...
How was the Jazz record when AK was injured? AK was a huge factor in Jazz wins!
He is having a big impact even for the Nets despite the limited minutes and his non existent role in offense.

Better question would be are they going to retire B-Russ's Jersey? If they retire AK might as well retire B-russ. Same type of impact on a better team.
.
I was an AK fan but his jersey does not belong in the rafter's. Neither does B-russ. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single player that is missing from up there. I can think of a few that never should have went up though.

....I'm with Moses on this one, 100%! If anything, rather than retire his jersey, we should burn it...then burn the ashes! Klinko had a couple of decent years with the Jazz, like maybe his first two when Stockton and Malone were still on the team. But he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with his outside shot, had hands of stone around the basket, certainly had more turnovers than assists, was the "poster boy" for gambling on defense and getting burned....was hurt every year, and his CONTRACT was so pathetically flawed and bloated that it made some of Ostertag's contracts look like major bargains! And FINALLY.....that disgusting tattoo....the size of a 32 inch television screen on his back....caused more barfing by Jazz fanzs than the "Bubonic plague!" That being said, he could frustrate the dick-en's out of the opposing teams "hip hoppers" with his defense, arms and elbows flying all over the place and board crashing techniques! About his only redeeming factor.

...all he's doing for the Nets is taking that Russians hard earned money....and spending it on Russian Vodka!

He doesn't deserve it. When he was the center of attention he thrived. When we finally added 2-3 near all-star caliber players, when AK should have elevated his game and been the star of a championship caliber squad, he wilted and cried. At what should have been his best moment, he gave his worst. No player that does that deserves to have his number retired. All those jaw-dropping performances for nothing. But damn he was fun to watch when he was on his game, and when he was truly on his game there were few that could match what he could do, and that means few ever in the history of the game. But the mental weakness did him in. Too bad really. Once we had D Will et al it could have been epic, instead it was early vacation plans and crying about his role. Very sad really. I sure hope the year he was the star in Russia brought him some peace. But he should never get a jersey retired here. Never.
Well done puppet! So neg rep me is your full time job and trolling is your hobby....what a miserable life you have Wormin.
p.s. I don't like intellectual prostitution...
