One of the sickest stat line I've ever seen --- 6x5

Was this on NBA Live '06?

 

found this to be extremely relevant to the the thread.

 

i concur, the guy is a freak of nature~
want to see him make a pentaple (sp) double someday...

 

You're right, an absolute freak of nature. No human being could put up staggering numbers of 13 points and 8 rebounds per game, especially while shooting 39% from the field.

Good player, yes. But drastically overrated.

 

i remember reading like the 5x5 statline has only been done twice in the nba since AK and he has done it like 3 now for sure possibly 4 times all by himself

crazy man

 

add to that his 3 blocks, 1.3 steals and 4 assists per game - and I'm pretty sure not too many human beings COULD put up those numbers (even while shooting 39% from the field).

Get a clue before stating a player is drastically overrated

 

Excellent line. I love AK.

 

AK would be fantasy monster status if he'd stay healthy and shoot more. Definitely not a dude to build a team around....

 

I wonder how Hakeem would stack up. Averaged a double/double, most career blocks, in the top 10 all-time in steals. About the only thing Hakeem might not put up would be 5 assists, but I'm sure he's done it quite a bit.

 

i remember looking through hakeem's game logs on this site after the 5x5 thing was brought up last year b/c of ak47, and i wanna say i found either 5 or 6 games where hakeem did it. but the game logs only went back to 91-92 i believe so there's 7 years unaccounted for. since this is the only place that i know of that even has those game logs (or any game logs over 3 years old for anybody for that matter) i don't know how many times hakeem actually did it. i figure he had to have thrown it in a few more times somewhere in there.

i wanna say the stat brought up last year was that ak was one of like 2 people to do it in the last 10 years (hakeem had his games before then) and i doubt anyone has done it again until just now. pretty crazy.

 

When Hakeem got his quadruple double, how many steals did he have? I know he had:

18 points, 16 rebounds, 11 blocked shots and 10 assists

 

18 pts 16 rebs 11 blks 10 asts

1 stl 5 TOs 2 Fouls 6-14 FG 6-8 FT 6 Off Reb 0-0 3's (in case you wondered)

 

I think AK 47 is a great complementary player and a solid defensive player. Even if he stays healthy, I don't think he's someone you can build a team around at all. I think *that* is what makes him overrated to many...because he was hyped as that kind of a player a couple of years ago, and he just isn't.

 

Thanks kaleidosky.

 

I guess I should have clarified--it's not that I think that Kirilenko is a bad player--far from it. He can affect the game in many different ways--but there is no way I put him in the upper echelon of guys in this league, stastically or otherwise. I just don't get what AK has really proven in this league. He puts up games like he did tonight where he has a real nice stat line, and then he lays eggs half of the time. His scoring is erratic, he gambles more than he should on defense, turns the ball over more than he should, and I just don't put him in the same grouping of players as Duncan, LeBron, TMac, etc--but the dude gets A HELL of a lot of hype.

The fact that the Jazz play so much better with him in the line-up is a no-brainer. That's a BAD team. If you already have a bad team and their best player misses half of their games, then obviously their record improves drastically for the other half that he plays in. So yeah, great, he has a huge impact on a bad team--I'll concede that point. But that doesn't make him any better of a player because he plays on a bad team.

Sorry Noogie...I get upset with players who I feel are over-hyped and DeAleck's love for all things Jazz. How about just "overrated?"

 

Hm. I never thought I would insult someone on BBS, but I have to say it: You are moron. Especially, when you put that "drastically" in between.
If one thing had to be said for AK, is that guy just has no luck with his injuries. He was supposed to be durable, when he was young prospect in Europe.

 

Dude, you are are talking nosenses. What the hack does that mean: "If you already have a bad team and their best player misses half of their games, then obviously their record improves drastically for the other half that he plays in"???

If your best player plays and your record drastically improves than your player is drastically good player.

In terms of NBA, I would put AK right behind the guys you mentioned. In terms of basketball I would put him right in the same group.
Just wait when whiners you mentioned get back to Olympics or WC and play AK and Russia. Maybe than you will understand what 9 assists, 6 steals, 7 blocks.

And anyone who has seen recent Utah teams, knows what AK has proven in this league.
