September 3: Former Lakers player Vujasic recently visited the podcast show Travis D’Marco, and talked about his experience of playing for the Lakers that year.

"I am an Eastern Europe (Slovenia) player. In order to win the championship, I have to play the role I need in the Lakers. Of course, during my time at the Lakers, I also had the opportunity to go to other teams, and maybe I could become an All-Star... As a young player, when I realized that I was an integral part of the team's puzzle, I chose to stay in the Purple and Gold Army." Vujasic said.

Vujasic averaged 7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game during his time with the Lakers. He was selected by the Lakers with the 27th pick in the first round in 2004, and played there for 6 and a half seasons, winning 2 championships during this period. He made two free throws in the final moments of the 2010 Final G7, helping the Lakers defeat the Celtics to secure the championship.
