A Chronology of Andrew Rafner’s Sasha Vujacic Texts and Tweets

by

Varsity has been working a lot. Here is what he’s been going through in wake of the Vujacic trade:

December 14th

  • Great. Old ass Joe Smith. This BLOWS
  • I knew this day was coming. He’s still my favorite Laker of all time. 6 years is a long ass time. We had a good run.
  • I’m very sad
  • They’re almost all gone. Ronny, Vlad, Trev, Yordan, DJ,
  • And now Sash. It’s over
  • Here’s the bottom line. The Sasha trade netted the Lakers about $4 Million (x2) in Luxury Tax relief. This was far from a basketball move
  • Seeing Sash still on the bench is like seeing a ghost
  • The saddest part is that he prolly doesn’t even know
  • I want to cry. This is too sad. “We hope the report is wrong. We’ve watched Sasha grow up as a player and a person.” – Joely Meyers.
  • You know who played on the Nets and was a European G? DRAZEN PETROVIC! Sash can carry the mantle. I believe. You should too. It’s a longshot
  • A world in which Sash and Yordan are on the Nets is a world I’m not sure I wanna live in.

December 15th

  • October 27, 2007-December 14, 2010
  • @KevinDing can seriously go fuck himself for his article about Sash. I would say more, but that fucking gnome isnt worth it. Bitchmade fuck

December 16th

  • https://twitter.com/lakers/status/15463338620231681 – this is like a bad dream. He’s like a create-a-player.
  • Ben fucking Uzoh
  • I’m at the acceptance part of the grief process. I can’t wait to see him kill tonight. #LetsGoSash
  • Fucking Terrence Williams is ALWAYS late!
  • folks said a lot of shit over the last couple days about Sash, but despite all the negativity, his play speaks for itself http://j.mp/e3ztd1
  • Real moment of honesty here: that video legit made me cry at work. I’ve never in my LIFE enjoyed watching a player PLAY more than him.
  • My fandom took a HUGE hit on Tuesday and it may never recover. I’m afraid of that. But I could watch that 3:49 and remember PURITY forever.
  • I’m serious here. No jokes. For the rest of my life, I’ll wear my Sash yersey to any and every Laker game I attend, no exceptions. PURITY
  • I love Sash cause he cares SO much and tries SO hard and people fucking HATE him for it. I can relate.

AND THIS STATEMENT:

He plays every second like it’s game 7 of the NBA Finals, almost to a fault  so it frustrates and angers people because it’s not what they’re used to. They want “chill” guys and guys who embrace the “moment” whereas for Sasha, every moment is THE moment. “Fuck you, I may not be as physically gifted or naturally talented as you, but I’m gonna play ten times as hard as you and exploit your mental weaknesses and THAT’S how I’ll beat you. People have a rough time reconciling Sasha’s game because it’s so contrary to what the run of the mill backup guard is expected to do. He is a white guy who has a hell of a lot of swagger and understands that frustrating the shit out of an opponent and getting in his head can be just as effective and potent as on ball defense.

The man has spoken.
