Sasha's Head-band

"Lakers' Sasha Vujacic gets an unexpected assist - Sasha Vujacic, who helped shoot the Lakers back into the NBA Finals, owes a debt of gratitude to Lisa Estrada, longtime director of the Laker Girls, who suggested at midseason that Vujacic make a move to keep his hair out of his eyes. . . .Noticing that Vujacic was forever sweeping his long locks from his face, Estrada says she jokingly scolded him, "Stop fiddling with your hair." . . .

She suggested he wear a headband -- "not like a girl headband, but a headband" -- and, at his request, offered several alternatives, among them the black suede hair band the Slovenian has worn the last few months. . . .

Asked if she feels any responsibility for Vujacic's big game, Estrada laughs and says, "Well, I hope so. No, I'm just kidding. No, no, no, that's all Sasha. I'm just glad he was open to listening to what I said about his hair." . . .Truth be known, she'd rather he wore it shorter. . . ."
