Lakers, Vujacic End Mavs Winning Streak
The Mavericks win streak is history, thanks to a Lakers effort led by 26 from Kobe Bryant and a career high 16 points by Sasha Vujacic (pronounced "smith"). Vujacic managed to hit the clinching three-pointer with 28 seconds left, and the Lakers held on to win, 101-98.
Vujacic, a 22-year-old guard in his third season from Slovenia, told reporters after the game that he's never lacking in confidence, thanks to his difficult upbringing.
"IN HOMELAND OF SLOVENIA, THE SHEEPS ARE FOR OF EATING!" Vujacic exclaimed excitedly, pointing to pictures of stick figures he had drawn crudely in crayon. "I AM OF THE GREAT GOD OF SHEEPS!"
Phil Jackson, the Lakers' coach who won his 900th game Sunday night, shrugged sadly. "I don't know who Sasha Vujacic is. You wanna drop some acid?"
