Somewhere out there in the vast cable television universe, there is video of forward Andrei Kirilenko dancing. The 6-foot-9 forward is getting down to a beat recorded by his wife Masha Lopatova, a Russian pop star. Her single "Saharniy," -- or roughly in English "Sugary" -- recently soared to No. 1 on Russian MTV, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The song is autobiographical, tracing Masha's breakup with her former boyfriend, another Russian pop star (who appears in the video) through her loneliness until she meets Andrei, the famous basketball star. Kirilenko dances in the video, but he leaves the singing to Masha. "She's the talented one," he said of his wife, whom he married last year; the couple now have a baby son, Fedor.
"It's about when we start our relationship. We meet, and there's some basketball a little bit just for fun. Then we go to restaurants, go to clubs, go dancing."
-- F Andrei Kirilenko, in the Salt Lake Tribune, on the plot to the music video he appears in with his Russian pop star wife
