agreed, 5-10 fg, 3-6 3pts, 4 rebounds is below the machine's standards.

He's a really valuable player for us this season. Other teams hate him so much and he draws techs like nobody I've seen in a while. A little Rick Foxesque.

Well the Lakers kept saying how he could make all his shots in practice and that he just wasn't doing it in games. Normally you don't have to wait until the fourth season to witness this drastic turnaround. Not like he'll be offered $8 million or anything like that (hope not anyway) but yeah show him the money.

Welcome, You're the Machine (FIXED)

Welcome, my son, welcome, you're the Machine.
Where have you been? It's all right, we know where you've been (Europe).
You've been at the three point line, practicing in time,
Provided with toys and 'Shooting over the Boys'.
You bought a basketball to punish your ma,
and you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
so welcome, you're the Machine.

Welcome, my son, welcome, you're the Machine.
What did you dream? It's all right, we told you what to dream (NBA).
You dreamed of a big star, who could light up the court from a far (Kobe),
he always ate in the Steak Bar, he loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome, YOU'RE THE MACHINE.

SEATTLE -- Sasha Vujacic used to be called an "11 o'clock player" by Coach Phil Jackson, a reference to his habit of shooting well in morning practices but failing to extend it to games.

Now he's living up to a different nickname, one he gave himself -- The Machine.
