07:07 AM ET 11.04 | As if the Lakers hadn't already gone over-the-top Hollywood with the addition of Khloe Kardashian to the basketball family after she and Lamar Odom were married during the off-season. Now comes word that struggling backup guard Sasha Vujacic and tennis star Maria Sharapova might be dating after the two were seen cuddling at a recent U2 concert.

If he was on the Timberwolves he'd be dating the Octo-Mom.

Well the good thing about this is that Sasha is with someone (unlike Lamar) that won't eat him out of his paycheck...YOu got to take small victories as you get them...

Yeah, sorry. It is a little early for that thought.

He prob has a very big house from all those bricks he throws up!

November 4, 2009  08:20 AM ET

He'll get scared away by the grunting.

November 4, 2009  08:27 AM ET

She is a star and he is not.
Who cares!

That's one hot couple.

It probably didn't hurt that Sasha probably has an Eastern European background, which is close to Sharpova's background. They'll have similar roots, and the fact that they are both athletes and celebrities.

Yes - when you play for a team like the Lakers, you're automatically a celebrity, even if you're not Kobe.

Get real, please.

They (I assume you mean Vujacic and Odom) are not "ugly scrubs". They are not models or anything, but they are at least average-looking.

Ewing ? Let's not comment about him for now... Not nice to insult people's looks.

I don't no why, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with the "hot couple" comment....
