Lakers' Sasha Vujacic pops question to tennis star Maria Sharapova [Updated]
Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic said he is engaged to tennis star Maria Sharapova.
Vujacic, who spoke before the Lakers played the Golden State Warriors in an exhibition game on Thursday night in San Diego, said the couple has not set a date.
Also, Vujacic, 26, said Sharapova, 23, said "yes' to his "old-school" proposal.
"We are both really happy," Vujacic said.
[Updated at 8:20 a.m.: Sharapova's agent confirmed the engagement in an e-mail to The Associated Press.]

What's an 'old school' proposal? Presnting her father with a dowery?
Posted by: Jamie Sweet | October 21, 2010 at 08:12 PM
actually, the girl and her father has to have the dowry.

Is it just me that Sasha looked more relaxed tonight? He always appears to be on the edge and pushing too hard. If Sasha can play relaxed and just try to have fun playing basktetball (just like having fun dating with Maria,) he will shoot much better (just like in practice game.) I hope he shoot more often (well, not too often) with confidence, and that's what (and why) he is getting paid for.

20-something stars have absolutely no business getting married. In ten years, they'll be different people

Last year of his contract and the pressure of a engagement? Hope the machine doesn't blow a gasket.
@Ed You must like Lamar, because you're being very kind with your grades.

I just came across Nick Bollettieri's Video interview (http://bit.ly/d8NGUB)on how he trained and guide those champions. It's all about winning, the attitude Nick engraved in the minds of the champions.
