Vlade Divac has a nice career after basketball. He owns a restaurant, probably smuggles some arms on the side, and, according to a story in the Sacramento Bee (from Sactown Royalty), he also sells faux-designer handbags that he tries to pass off as the real deal. At least, that's what the lawsuits against him claim:
Though it exudes elegance, [Vlade's] store is mired in two ugly lawsuits that accuse it of pawning off fake Gucci bags as the real thing.
In one suit, filed in federal court last year, Gucci demands that the store stop selling counterfeit Gucci products. A second suit was filed April 18 in state court by a consumer who says he was duped.
And on Thursday, the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office confirmed it is pursuing a criminal investigation of L'Image.
Let this be a friendly reminder to all you people out there who have too much money and not enough brains: when in doubt, stay away from stores owned by people hailing from former Soviet Bloc countries. You don't want to go shopping for a poodle and get a lamb. Or go shopping for a woman and get a dude. (The scarf around the neck always fools me!)


“(The scarf around the neck always fools me!)”
so sad…so true.
Damn…that banner pics kills me. I can’t quit laughing when I look at it.
Remember in the 91 finals, when Vlade made that little lucky shot and then ran over to Magic with his arms behind his back and his lips pouting like he wanted a kiss? Yeah, Ive hated Vlade ever since then………really has nothing to do with this post, but whatever.
The former Yugoslavia has been a non-aligned country since 1947. so its not soviet bloc. that said, i’m from serbia, and this doesnt surprise me in the least.
but vlade is sweet.
Props to 289 on the pic….fuckin’ hilarious!! made me spit my coffee all over my monitor!!
Darko: what, are you from Yugoslavia? It may have been more independent than other communist satellites, but that’s only because Tito was enough of a tyrannical madman to earn him a longer leash. History will still categorize Yugoslavia as part of the Iron Curtain.
So I am guessing the Rolex i just bought from Peja Stojakovic is NOT real…..
SON OF A BITCH
In Soviet Russia, purse hold you!
We pass the ball, We kick the ball…
I thought Vlade’s post-NBA business would be a Flop House.
It’s funny, but after Vlade got slapped by that lawsuit from Gucci, he fell back 10 feet into a bin full of knock-off rolexes.
