What was it like playing with Andre Karolenko? Ak was one of the most talented people that I played with as far as on the wing. He was all of 6'9, could pass better than probably anybody that I ever played with, especially on the wing. He was super athletic or just long. It was one of the two because he would stand under the rim and could jump up, go between the legs and dunk it. That's the same. Like, vertical. He taught me that vets get to not run and touch the line on suicides. I remember being pissed off about that because I was one of the last ones, but I was the only one in suicides that had to touch the line. He was a big reader. He would sit in the locker room before the games and read books. And I remember looking at that thinking like, Man,'t we be focused on the game? But as the season went on, you realized you're in there three hours before the game. And I think it was his way of probably silencing the noise and getting his mind right and focusing.
