And finally Kirilenko himself said about his return: “I am glad to be back to my favorite team, where I played in the beginning of my careeer, then in the middle of it. It’s great that I got this chance and I was happy to use it. I understand that the time has come to think about quitting as a pro player and in my opinion it is better to do it in my dear club’s uniform”.

I hardly even listen when Napear goes in that breathless, inciting tone of voice, urging the audience to listen close - I've been one of the guys who will bring up Napear's good points through the years, but he has a terrible track record (in my memory) whenever he does that kind of thing.
I don;t get why he does it, either - I assume his listener base is fairly unchangeable, and out of his control to influence - they tune in more when there's more interesting local team activity, and they tune out when the teams suck.
He doesn't really have to tease reveals - he has the entire franchise beat down his door to do interviews, he doesn't have to work hard to get his position - he's top of the local stack and has whatever access he wants (when he hasn't personally burned those bridges himself).
ANY tease that is more than one day is useless, in media. WAY too fast of news cycle to bother teasing that far out - and if he wasn't in charge of the release date of the info and has to wait for someone else to announce it, then he is being quite unprofessional in opening his mouth before they have given him a solid date.

I rather enjoy the Napier rants, he is good combined with Jerry too, but that is seldom on the radio.
I think he needs to break the game down more, talk about contracts, talk about what he is privileged to see and we are not, and take less callers.
His quietness with some of the Maloofary in the past has always annoyed me, but I understand, but if that is the case don't take the calls from selective fans take them all or none related to the subject.
