Andrei Gennadyevich Kirilenko is a famous Russian basketball player, captain of the Russian national team.

Andrey Kirilenko was born on February 18, 1981 in the city of Izhevsk. I got carried away with basketball professionally, when I lived in St. Petersburg. There he began to participate in basketball competitions for the city team. And already in 1995 in the biography of Andrei Kirilenko was won the first victory. Then his team became the champion of Russia. In the history of the Russian basketball superleague, Andrei was the youngest player. . In 1998, the athlete began to compete for CSKA, Russia’s best basketball club. Being in the team, Andrei Kirilenko twice became the champion of Russia: in 1999 and 2000. The season of basketball games of 2000-2001 was remarkable for the basketball player of his team Euroleague FIBA ​​- the most prestigious competition in Europe, and in the “Final Four”.

Professional athletic qualities distinguish Andrei

Kirilenko among other basketball players. The athlete combines excellent defense skills, as well as successfully passed passes. Andrew has highly developed team, individual skills. The basketball player acts on the positions of a heavy and easy striker.

Due to high sports performance in June 1999, Andrew was selected to participate in the games of the NBA “Utah Jazz” club.

In the first season, Andrew showed a highly professional game, due to which was included in the top five players among the newcomers.

throws, Andrew was chosen the best players of the NBA. But already in the next season the basketball player showed not such a brilliant game.

In May 2008, a scandal broke out around the sportsman, as Andrei missed a training session in Utah on the eve of an important match that was lost by the way. However, the coach of the team took all the blame on himself.
