Goran Dragic would win right away.
Sasha Vujacic is scrub royalty.
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.
Goran Dragic would win right away.
Sasha Vujacic is scrub royalty.
lol Vuja
lol Tragic
lol Slovenia
From what I've understood from Slovenian fans, they have never liked each other and most fans are on Dragic's side.
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.
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).
This episode was incredibly hilarious. Vujacic's posturing was priceless.
Nobody likes Sasha. This is not breaking news.
When does Sasha pressure Dragic so tough? Does Sasha play?
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 at ude because it goes against their countries values, while Goran has a more humble personality and they like his work ethic.
yeah i got tats on my legs, yeah they're spurs and yeah they're on my calves... we've gone over this yrs ago and yet it's still being brought up like a bad joke. it's in' old man and you think it gets to me when you say the bs you do? you think it gets to me especially coming from some chump off the internet? come on now man... i didn't get these tats because i thought i'd shrivel up into a ball and hide when someone put me down about my decision to tat my calves up with spurs, i got these tats because i wanted to, because i like them and because i could give 2 s less about some made chump on the internet.
get over it man and add to this thread or get the out already. come up with something clever or shut the up and get out of my thread.
Ok so check Slovenia off the list.
Alright its official, every country in the world hates Sasha.
I wasn't aware Sasha was still on an NBA roster.
Count again.Yet these players are not always best bros. Just look at Goran Dragic and Sasha Vujacic, two of the league's three Slovenians.
He is??The Machine is well-known around the league as an annoying defender...
Since when has Sasha been the top Slovene in the NBA?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.
Where's Rasho playing?
He is definitely still in the NBA until June 30. Then, we'll see...
lolololololololololololololololol x1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00
oh ! ha haha hahahahahahahahah!!!!
No, Burkina Faso has declared official neutrality on the Sasha issue.
I'd pick Dragic over Sasha anytime. Sasha's a POS
That's a gutsy pick given that Dragic is five times the player as Sasha while making less than half the money.
