When he kept his hair clipped short, Sasha Vujacic reminded me a little of Adam Sandler.

But now that the fourth-year Lakers guard sports this sweaty, flyaway Euro-mop, it makes me think he needs to make an appointment with Zohan.

Granted, Vujacic isn't the only baller spraying NBA courts with the oily oog of his lawn-sprinkler hairdo. Thankfully, the 2008 playoffs have witnessed the elimination, round by round, of the worst of the offending sweathogs: the Houston Rockets' Luis Scola was ousted first, followed by San Antonio Spurs greaser Fabricio Oberto.

With any luck, the handsomely well-groomed Boston Celtics will make short work of L.A., having taken a 2-0 lead in the finals heading into their three-game stretch in SoCal. Maybe summertime will put Vujacic in the mood to mow, as it did two offseasons ago with both Steve Nash and Manu Ginobili.

Then, is it too much to hope that a shorn and shaven Slovenian Laker might influence his Spanish teammate?

With their sweaty locks plastered to their zombie-white skin, Pau Gasol, Vujacic and their unkempt NBA brethern (notably Dirk Nowtizki and Andrew Bogut) could populate the league's first expansion team of shaggy internationals. We could call them the Grima Wormtongues.
