Word out in the streets has Los Angeles Lakers backup guard Sasha Vujacic and tennis star Maria Forum Sharapova might be dating after the two were seen cuddling at a recent U2 concert.

CNBC reporter Darren Rovell also revealed on Twitter the sighting of this dynamic tandem of a Russian tennis star and Slovenian NBA player.

Vujacic’s ongoing slump has drawn the ire of Lakers fans, but off the court, his game is in top form.  Sharapova on the other hand, knows how to win and perform under pressure.  She is a former world number one with three grand slam titles under her belt.

The Lakers do not need all that, they just need Sharapova to get Vujacic to be “The Machine” again. Can she teach three-point shooting?

When asked about the romance, Vujacic wouldn’t go as far as confirming the news, although he did coyly say, “I like tennis”.
