That pronunciation key for his name is dead wrong. I don't know who wrote the NBA.com page, but in Russian it sounds like this: "Hr-IA-pa." Simple. The H is NOT silent - just pronounce it like the H at the start of Hello. I don't know why many English speakers have trouble with this. It's probably because some smart-alec began transliterating the sound as "Kh" - I can understand maybe why the K is there (responsible for a slight modification of sound), but really - English speakers end up making a big deal out of the K and basically just pronouncing it without regard for the H.
An anonymous user claims that the pronunciation of Khryapa's name, as sourced to NBA.com, should be labeled as an American English pronunciation. See
this edit, for example. In some of his edit summaries, he has quoted the MOS, which says, "Transcriptions should always have a label identifying what language they are transcribing."
I don't believe we need the qualifier as I don't believe that that pronunciation is American English. Viktor is not pronounced Veek-tor in American English, however it is in Russian. --

Except that it is sourced so again it is a valid piece of information. You need to find something showing that it is not Russian. --
