For the moment, though, foreign players remain the clear minority, which is why Gasol has become such fast friends with Vujacic.
You might have noticed that spectacularly exuberant on-court embrace between the two of them as the Lakers were beating Phoenix last month. Vujacic has been ribbed so much about his Lambeau leap into Gasol's arms that when I mentioned something about the two of them having good on-court chemistry, Vujacic said without smiling: "You are talking about that hug?"
But actually it is Vujacic who has been Gasol's anchor in Southern California. In his first weekend here, Gasol was already at Vujacic's house to hang out.
"He's from Europe; it's his first time in L.A., so I was more than willing to help him not get lost, which is easy to do," Vujacic said. "Where to go, what to do, where are good places to hang out, where is a good place to live."
Now Gasol is settling into his new house in Redondo Beach – where Vujacic's place is, too -- and they also spend considerable time together on the road. Asked about Vujacic's accusation that Gasol creates new rules on the fly in the poker game he's teaching Vujacic on the team plane, Gasol fired back: "No way. I'm not a cheater like he is."
