Sasha - Cut from Slovenian National Team...

[Slava]

There's just no way an NBA player gets cut from a National team unless some shady politics are involved and I don't believe Sasha has either the brains or the balls to meddle in dressing room politics.

sasha gets put into boot camp

gets injured, the injury is inadequately treated, he goes gets treatment and upon return to the team is told he didnt bond with the team and isnt wanted anymore...

just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes...

I read all those Sasha quotes silently to myself in a Sasha accent and didn't even realize I was doing it until I finished. Very creepy. God help me!

Sasha,

I do not want to hear from you no more. Just be quiet, get in shape and show up for training camp in a month.

click the link and read all the comments by sasha he doesn't claim he's injured. he said he was in pain and was concerned, he wanted some treatment. by the time he was let go, sasha said he was feeling GREAT and had let his coach know that.

i honestly have no idea what your main point is so sorry if i have to pick and choose comments to respond to.

My bad on the late response, but Sounds like the normal Sasha we all know to well... crying like the little itch about the teams workouts being too hard or too tough and a minor injury and refusing to practice. I bet you thats the case, and again we know Sasha too well to know that he was probably pointing his finger at everyone else but himself instead of trying or willing to play harder and he doesn't mesh well with his teammates on the court or he plays like ish. Thats the only reason, Im sure he got an ego trip so the coach told him to walk and now he is on his site coming up with lame arse excuses so he doesnt look bad infront of his LA crowd.

No worries though we will soon find out what Sasha has done all summer long when preseason ressumes.

Slovenian response to Sasha's accusations:

http://delo.si/clanek/87389

"His offensive and harsh approach towards us really hurt us. I think it's right that I tell our part of story. If we begin with him saying that conditioning program of fitness coach Jadranko Nikolić was too harsh and dangerous. Vujačić practiced with the rest of the players only the first day of Rogla preparations. It was the day when coaching staff and managing staff, including me at age of 61, joined the guys at practice. I didn't feel anything out of ordinary next day, so how was this practice too dangerous for professional sportsmen? How can he explain that all the players were able to finish all the preparations without problems? Vujačić had problems with his knee the second day, when he was already preparing himself to go to China on business trip. I am convienced that his knee injury was before he joined us for preparations. This was also confirmed by the experts who made MRI on his knee, which was made after he came back to Slovenia from China."

"Vujačić wasn't part of testings at the Faculty of Sports like everyone else, because he came from USA with a delay. When he came he didn't say anything about any medical problems. He complained about the pain in his knee after the first day of preparations. I advised him treatment with painkillers for his pain, pills against knee inflammation, laser treatment for his knee and ice massage. He started to act unresponsible by skipping treatments. I informed the coach Zdovc about this issue. I suspect that he didn't take the pills I prescribed, because once he left them at the hotel, second time there was something else wrong with them, when we talked to him he was saying that we will start the treatment next day and so on. Once the director of national team Mario Kraljević brought him to me, but before we started with laser treatment, Vujačić said he does not allow it. All this he kept quiet, but he mentioned the olive oil, which is now in center of attention in the media and everyone is making fun of it. Please, tell me which physiotherapist massages without any oil? This wasn't a medical thing. Olive oil wasn't medical thing. It was just part of massage therapy of our physiotherapist."

Man this makes Sasha really seem like a little baby with a crappy attitude. The rest of the guys were able to finish their drills but he couldn't because of pain. Thats understandable, maybe the pain was so bad. But to then refuse the treatment and still use pain as an excuse is stupid. He better not come into the season with an attitude like this. I bet he will be using that knee as an excuse for poor play all season long.

Jeesh... you know I pretty much have to believe his team because we know from numerous accounts that his Laker teammates think he's an a-hole too. Sasha could have been so good. Attitude is just so important to success.

I could see wanting outside treatment, I could see Slovenia having B grade medicine, but it sounds like Sasha is a lazy whiny bitch.

[TonyMontana]

SO I was right all along.
He is a itch, and he's been lying all along trying to comeup with lame ass excuses for his piss poor performance. So much for I want to represent my country BULL. This guy is a joke and its sad that he actually had to go and lie about his team and their staff trying to cop out on his lazziness and his big head and ego.

Im glad the staff cameback and clear this up since it just proves that this guy thinks he's somebody special or his a superstar which he really isnt. He sucks and I cant wait till he leave this team and stops emberrassing us. This dudes a joke.

[The Skyhook]

You know it could be the team lying but knowing Sasha its him just making excuses and trying to put the blame on someone else.
