There are quite a few Slovenians on this board, so I thought I'd post this here.

Surprisingly, Sasha Vujacic and Goran Dragic are not best friends
The NBA is a league chock full of intense rivalries. Some we know about, like the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers' long-standing feud, or LeBron James and Paul Pierce's distaste for each other. Some are kept under wraps, such as Paul Pierce and Quentin Richardson's mysterious mutual animosity. And some are just hilarious, like DeShawn Stevenson against the entire Cleveland Cavaliers franchise and also non-tattooed skin.
Thankfully, we can add another to that last category, because apparently Goran Dragic and Sasha Vujacic hate each other. If you thought Slovenians stuck together, think again. From the Arizona Republic's Paul Coro:
Suns guard Goran Dragic had never even met countryman Sasha Vujacic of the Lakers until they faced off in a NBA game last season but senses discord.
"We have something between us going, rivalry or something," Dragic said. "Every game, he pressures me so hard and I try to penetrate. I would say it is personal. I don't know why but maybe because last year we were together on the national team and they didn't pick him to be on the 12-player (roster for European Championship). I don't care if it's personal. I just know I want to win the game against LA. If he's going to play like that, I just have to adjust."
As The Baseline's Eric Freeman says, this is instantly the NBA's most hilarious rivalry. It's hard to disagree, and I'm very thankful for it. Ever since the Wizards' demise and Stevenson's trade to the Mavericks, we've needed someone to step in and fill the void for one-sided catfights. So we should all thank Vujacic, because you know he's the one that started this.
Catching wind of this feud means we have to reconsider everything we think we know about foreign imports to the NBA. I've always kind of assumed that Hedo Turkoglu and Mehmet Okur spent a lot of time in Turkish nightclubs together, just dancing and having a great time. If that's not true, I'm not sure what I'll do. Next thing you know, we're going to find out Anderson Varejao and Leandro Barbosa don't play futból together back in Brazil. That's depressing just to think about.

Goran Dragic and Sasha Vujacic Star in the NBA's Most Hilarious Rivalry
We Americans make many assumptions about the NBA's foreigners. For instance, if two players hail from a relatively small country, it's easy to draw the conclusion that they're good friends. It's like that old prejudice that two people from the same town or race know each other, but on a national scale.
Yet these players are not always best bros. Just look at Goran Dragic and Sasha Vujacic, two of the league's three Slovenians. As Dragic told Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic, Sasha is not a big fan of his fellow countryman.
The Machine is well-known around the league as an annoying defender, so maybe Goran is reading a bit too much into the issue. But it's also possible that Vujacic feels threatened by Dragic's recent ascension to the heights of Slovenian celebrity and wants to prove he is still the top Slovene in the league.

Well, basically everyone back home loves Dragic and most of the people in Slovenia hate Vujacic. I kinda feel sorry for him but I guess he's used to it, since it's pretty much the same in the NBA.

There's a dude who's actually a government official in Slovenia who actually posts on the Suns forum I used to post on. According to him, people in Slovenia can't stand Vujacic's attitude because it goes against their countries values, while Goran has a more humble personality and they like his work ethic.

I firmly believe that being a primadona cunt goes against more countries values than just Slovenia...
Sasha is hated by 99,99% of the people that watch, play or have anything to do with basketball. The other 0,01% is Kobe.
As for Dragič... he is loved by everyone who follows basketball in Slovenia. His NT play was stunning at times and his injury prevented Slovenia to reach a medal at the last EC.
Dragič and Vujačič couldn't be any more diferent personalities as they are...

That day was freakin' hot, wasn't it? I nearly got both heatstroke and hangoverstroke drinking while waiting in the Coliseum. This year, if the Lakers are fortunate to win it all, I will be along the parade route this time. I'm not sitting in that stadium under the mercy of the sun again.

Do you think there's really something to Vujacic's "jealousy" like Dragic thinks? Because I think Dragic could be just projecting since Vujacic annoyed many players, not just him.

Money isn't everything. The Suns (fans and team) and Slovenians love Dragic, while Slovenians and LA fans seem to hate Sasha and who knows about his teammates other than Kobe. Plus Dragic played great for Slovenia, while Sasha got thrown off the team. And last but not least Dragic is playing pretty well for the Suns, seems to have a nice future while Sasha has been sucking since he signed his current contract and has been mostly burried on the bench.
All that said, I didn't say that Sasha was jealous. Just wondered if there's any truth to it.
