Do you have a link for this? I have to have it.

There are like 53+ pages in that thread, but reading their reaction during the key parts of that epic game is priceless.  I'm sure you can find threads like that in any Lakers forum though.

A true basketball fan does not make fun of anyone in the NBA - remember just to be considered for an NBA team is a success. The one thing I am embarrassed about are the fair weather Boston Celtic fans - the ones who last season couldn't say enough bad things about the Celtics - the ones who were calling for Doc's resignation, saying that Danny was a failure - the same ones that this winning season are wearing their greens as if they were die hard, all weather fans, the ones that make fun of the Sasha Vujacic's. Ray Allens drive against Vujacic wasn't the winning move of the game - the whole fourth quarter was.

Thanks for the downer.  These are the Lakers we're talking about.  Of course we can rationalize that these guys are better than 99.999999% of all basketball players walking the earth and we can respect that.  What we can't respect is that they play for a despicable team, that wears despicable uniforms, and Vujacic is one of the more despicable of all of the despicable.  The point isn't that he, or the Lakers, aren't more talented hoopsters than any of us could ever dream.  The point is that they are WORSE than our beloved Celtics and Vujacic got smoked bad in a clutch situation and cried about it. 

Therefore, we, as fans of the victors, are quite entitled to make fun of him - and enjoy the hell out of it.

Yeah, exactly, Redz.  Apparently S.V. has relatives in New Zealand.

The Lakers are a bunch of whiny, disrespectful chokers who give no respect to our players, and constantly blame the refs for everything (including not knowing how to play defense).  Yet, we're not allowed to mock them?

I say bash on, folks, bash on.  (Just do it within site rules.)

Just a couple things to add (since I have just now watched the game to see what the fuss is all about), the first being that as fans we have every right to make fun of whoever we want.  I've been known to make fun of Celtics players if they do something amusing (especially a particularly unathletic looking move from what are supposed to be the best athletes in the world).  Second, I believe that the "winning move of the game" would have to be considered the second half of the 3rd quarter more than the 4th.  That's when we got it all together and showed what C's basketball is all about.  The 4th quarter was just a continuation of that.

Maybe he should be Nadel's doubles partner at Wimbledon..... That would be his best bet to win a title this year.

Oh my!!! Too funny!!!

Now that we've won, it doesn't seem very classy to make fun of Sasha anymore and I don't feel the need.

However, I'm dying to ask whether anyone else noticed last night Pierce giving Sasha the cold shoulder when all the players from both teams were exchanging hugs and words? It seemed pretty clear that the fans weren't the only ones who don't have much love for Sasha.
