All people have their idols. Mine is Andrey Kirilenko. He is two-time Russian Champion as a member of CSKA Moscow.

He was the youngest player in the history of the Russian Superleague. He played his first game in the Russian Superleague as a member of the club “Spartak” (St. Petersburg), which defeated Spartak Moscow (91:83). In this game, 15 year-old Kirilenko scored 3 points.

He became the youngest European player in the history of basketball selected in the NBA Draft (18 years). He was also the first Russian ever selected in the first round of the NBA Draft.

He has many different awards. I consider that Kirilenko is a real hero. He did very much for the development of Russian basketball.

I also like to play basketball. My friends and I usually play basketball on our school sports ground after classes or in our school gym. We also take part in the competitions and often win. Basketball is my favourite game. I want to be as strong, hardworking and resolute as Kirilenko.
