Rumor Mill: Vujacic on the Russian Trail – Sharapova’s that is

Sasha+Vujacic+clenches+his+fist+in+celebrationWhile Lakers shooting guard Sasha Vujacic may be coming off his worst season as a professional, that has not put a damper on his dating life. According to Tennis Rumor, Vujacic is on top of his other game, as he is rumored to be dating Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova:

Well the 2009 tennis season is over but the rumors, news and all kind of things continues… The rumor of the day is that Maria sharapova is dating NBA basketball player Sasha Vujacic, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers….

Apparently the rumor began because Maria Sharapova was seen at U2 concert with him… we will see how this story continues…

Darren Rovell of CNBC Sports Biz tweeted the rumor as well:

Maria Sharapova was seen at U2 concert w/Lakers’ Sasha Vujacic. The two were seen cuddling up. An item?

So, we have one player, who is more concerned about his looks than his play, dating a player who has often been thought to be more worried about her looks than her play. Sounds like the perfect match.

I would say that parting shot is a bit unfair. Sharapova may do some modeling and may have herself all put together for matches, but she's also spent a ton of time at #1 and won a ton of tourneys (including Grand Slams). This is not Kournikova we're talking about (she was much hotter, and much less accomplished...though I think even she got a somewhat unfair reputation as a dilettante before she retired).

Vujacic does blow though. He will be the most hated man in the league by season's end: all the other teams' fans hate him because he's a crybaby. All the Laker fans should hate him because he sucks.
