DENVER -- Kyrylo Fesenko was doing his usual playoff scouting late last Sunday night. After each game in Utah's first-round series against Denver, the center has watched all of the post-game press conferences on the Internet."You might pick up something,'' Fesenko said.
What Fesesko had to pick up after last Sunday's Game 4 was his jaw off the floor. Fesenko thought he had heard Denver star Carmelo Anthony mention his name.
"I saw it and I had to rewind it,'' Fesenko said. "I was like, 'Did he really say something about me.' Wow. That was kind of cool.''
Indeed, Anthony did speak of the obscure Ukrainian who has been called into starting duty with Mehmet Okur having been lost for the season in Game 1 with a ruptured Achilles. It wasn't exactly complimentary.
"Fesenko? Fesenko?'' Anthony said after Utah's 117-106 win that gave the Jazz a 3-1 series lead. "Don't get me wrong. He's playing extremely well. He's playing with a lot of confidence. But Fesenko?''
