Masha Talks About Sasha

Photo

Kris and Kim can have their reality show, "Keeping up with the Kardashians", but soon enough, Sasha and Masha could be stars of another higher rated reality show, "Breakfast at Wimbledon."  After winning the Italian Open and making it to the semi-finals of the French, Maria Sharapova (aka Masha) is ready for the "Rosewater Dish".

In an interview with the London Telegraph, the world's most bankable female athlete talked about her upcoming wedding to Sasha Vujacic, the Nets free agent who very much wants to be back. But she also talks about how living with another professional athlete helps her prepare. 

"It’s helpful that he has the understanding of what an athlete does and what it takes," the 24-year-old says.

"Even the small things, like the routines you go through before matches and before tournaments, how physically and mentally tough it is. That understanding between us is great." But she adds, she's failed at one thing: "He has tried to teach me how to play basketball, but I’m terrible, really bad."

I give her a lot of credit

Definitely one of the best tennis players of our time, and she is still young. Smart businesswoman with many endorsements also, I wonder if the other athlete in the relationship is green with envy.

He's done quite well himself

He just completed a three year deal worth $15 million and has a few endorsements.

that's not the point

the point was that he has plenty of money so there is no need for him to feel jealous.

he is in fact

one of the luckiest men in the world.

He’s young, smart, good-looking, has had great success in his chosen field at a young age with two NBA rings, is engaged to one of the world’s most striking women and lives on the beach in LA.

I actually don’t mind bringing him back if we have cap space after we get whoever we want. As long as he’s more willing to take less ill-advised shots, he’s a clutch shooter/free throw shooter. He flops and his defense is “pesky” but he played with a lot of effort.

he played with energy

there’s a reason he played for the best franchise in the NBA for seven years….and why he was a fan favorite.

Initially nets fans loved him. It was only until the end of the season that people got picky and started to hate him for chucking up shots. With guys like shannon brown on the bench, I’m not surprised Lakers fans hated him though

a lot of Laker fans love his passion

hate his decision making

he doesn’t bother me one bit but we have bigger fish to fry

The two or three times he hasd the post game interview

He sounded like someone who was really appreciative of the crowd. Maybe he’s just a good actor, but he seems to really like this place.

i just have to say

what perv cameraman is waiting for a picture like this?

like at football, baseball and basketball when they cue a camera without notice and 9/10 times its scoping the seats for a fine female, lol

remember that ESPN show “Playmakers” when the QB had the O-coordinator look for hot chicks to hook up with after the game in the middle of the game?

When you're playing on a team that is 28th in scoring, your coach is probably giving you the green light to make something happen

when he puts you in. Sasha will adjust his game, the coaches instructions will change…if we resign him.

Nothing wrong with bringing him back for off the bench. Remember, JKidd made Lucios Harris look good.

i'd rather lucious harris

be good by his dam self already

How do Nets hold onto Sasha if he has a $10+ million cap hold?

He would really want to re-sign with Nets for much less $ and probably much less than another team would offer.
