The Lakers’ Sasha Vujacic is a man of many talents—he’s a lover, an energizer and a wearer of little headbands. But one thing he is not is a person whose name is easily spelled. That’s why the LA Times decided to ask a select group of hopeful Laker Girls during their tryouts to spell his name. Now, we’re not going to say we would’ve gotten it right, and we did hear Jeff Van Gundy pronounce his name about six different ways during the playoffs, but these ladies need a map just to get back to the Roman alphabet. We do still love you, though, girls. Well, a lot more than the LA Times does anyway. (We’re going with the “they did it first” defense.)

“V-U-C…wait. How much money does he make? Oh. Ok. V-U-C…ugh. just look at my boobs please.”

G!?! Really? G?!? I’d be a lot angrier if there weren’t girl butts behind the spellers to distract me.

The G is silent, just like in “dumbass.”

Did the third (maybe fourth) girl ask if Sasha Vujacic was a player? Did they cut her immediately?

Mark Mothersbaugh and Devo should sue for the beyond worst adaptation of their song. Ever. And that’s saying alot.

Kobe Bryant approves of every single one of them.

Come on, these girls aren’t being asked to balance the budget or cure cancer. They are being asked to shake it during TV time outs. Are you really surprised they can’t spell?

Yeah, now go out on the streets and ask a “select group” of fat ugly guys to spell it. Better yet, let’s ask a “select group” of hairspray-lacquered male sportscasters to spell it. I’m willing to bet you won’t get even two who get it right.
