Vladimir Radmanovic (Serbia and Montenegro), Ronny Turiaf (France) and Sasha Vujacic (Slovenia) comprised a small group of European-born and trained players on the Lakers' roster when they opened training camp in Honolulu back in October.

Add Sun Yue to that roster and we have players from all the major continents up there. Good to have more fans from all over the world to add on to the Laker nation.
