Did U Know?

His play this season has also pushed Slava into the media spotlight on several occasions, like three times during the month of January when he went for 20-and-10 or better. Slava doesn't mind doing interviews, but it's something he's getting used to. "I'm just happy to be with this team and contributing," Slava cliches. "The coaches expect a lot from me, but I try not to think about that and just play."

While he rarely shows enthusiasm on the court, Medvedenko can be hard on himself at times, and it shows. He traces his oncourt persona to his childhood. "All my life, I have been this way," he says. Growing up in the former Soviet republic of Ukraine, Slava idolized Ukrainian star Alexander Volkov, the 6-10 post who joined Lithuanian Sarunus Marciulionis as the first ex-Soviets to play in the NBA back in 1989. When the Lakers signed Medvedenko as a free agent in 2000, GM Jerry West hired Volkov to serve briefly as a translator. "He has really helped my career a lot," he says. "Especially the first year and adapting to L.A. I couldn't speak the language when I first got here."

Medvedenko went on to take English courses and continues to do so today. His growing knowledge of the language has helped advance his game and has made the transition to life in L.A. much easier. The nimble big man has even picked up on SoCal's love for hip-hop.

"I like listening to it very much," he says. "But I mostly like Russian and Ukrainian hip-hop. There are some very talented artists there."

Gossip
Slava had said:I don't really watch the games in real time per se, more checking in from time to time and then watch it on TiVo normally the next day on slow visual fast-forward. Told you at the start, basketball is not my sport. However, the pair calling the game for FSN Northwest, Craig Ehlo and Kevin Calabro are quite good. They are easy to listen to and right on the mark with their info and timing. Ok, now a final, the Lakers lose 93-108.
On Slava: Slava and his gum remain on the bench, getting pushed around by an animated Vlade. Purple warmups and the pants snapped back on in the third too. Hmmm... Slava, Vlade and Sasha are the only ones not playing, what is this - a foreign conspiracy? This is getting ridiculous. Even if LA wanted to float Slava as trade bait, wouldn't another team want to see some recent numbers from the guy? Sasha got in for about a minute at the end.

Be sure to let me know what you hear and I'll add it to this page!
