i don't want to sound all negative but Atkins is completely different guy when he speaks Korean. He sounds like a pretty nice guy when he speaks Korean whereas he shows his ghetto side in this English intervew.
HE is a very humble man. But I understand his disappointment and his request to not put him on the list if hes not on top. First off, he is not giving 100% because he is playing international ball. That's his career, his occupation, his life.
I don't like how the interview posed some of the questions. Don't try to blast him on the spot like that please....just saying.
And Xiro is a great player but comparing him to Tony is unfair to both Tony and Xiro...respect their pride.
i dont understand, does anyone know why tony aikins didnt make it in the nba. I heard this guy played varsity during his freshmen year and went to gt.
this is first year in korea as a rookie and getting about 81,000 us dollar, which is really low for a guy his lvl but thats just cuz he's a rookie, next year he'll prob get about 3-4 times that much
My boy Tony was getting real pissed off that that douchebag guy named "Xiro"lol was beung compared to him in the same breath. Also people were considering him to be better than Tony. But Tony kept it real and said "He's good for an asian guy" and then the interviewer made it worse by throwing in those lil bs footnotes about that guy like Tony was tring to hear that nonsense. But Tony kept it cool though. he let it be known he wasn't impresses but kept it respectful.
dat dude was what? player of the mother fucking year? what the fuck? i cant imagine how weak the other mother fuckers are. shit. these fools talk like these cats got some special game or some shit. daym. them leagues is amatuer jo.
hell yeah ive seen that dude they call xiro play here in chicago on some tournament and i swear to god and i dont know who do fuck who b ranking them niggaz. i aint sayin he a complete bum. dude got some skills but he aint all that. just an average player. these niggas crazy man
hahaha you can tell him and that xiro guy had some beef. personally i dont think you can compare tony akins to most of these guys. i mean to be a starter for all 4 years in one of the toughest conference in college basketball that should be an automatic number 1 spot. getting paid to play basketball means you can ball.

I totally agree with Tony about having to hold back. But he was very disrespectful.

Can't wait to see this guy Akins play. As for the POY, well, I'd like to see them play The Chosen Few before voting.

Tony is absolutely gorgeous, reminds me of my ex-.Also Tony should not have been on the list as he is whey out of all of the player's league.
