ha ha. I love how Sasha has a great game, and focuses on the things the team needs to work on more. I love how at Fiesta Lakers Sasha had so many cheers from female fans, and Luke Walton didn’t have as much.

Sasha,
I grew up in Indiana and am a basketball junkie therefore I love the way to play… pesky defense and a deadly shooter. Bring the Larry O’Brien trophy to LA this year bud.
Your gay fans love you! Cut your hair though.

Thanks, Emily, for a great Weekly Link Roundup. This really helps me catch up on stuff that I may have missed while working and living, etc… I especially liked the article in the Sacto Bee where Sash talks about pressure and says a lot of positive things about winning the Championship…they are on their way!
