Robert Sacre is going to hunt “sandsquatches” in the offseason
When asked about his offseason plans, Lakers center Robert Sacre revealed plans to hunt “sandsquatches.” Yes, he did say sandsquatches.
The 82-game NBA season can be a grind, but once it’s over, the players do have the perk of having several months off (if their team missed the playoffs, that is).

Some may spend that time training and studying film. Some may take a complete break from basketball, and go on vacation with their families or something normal like that. Kobe Bryant will probably spend it on a mountain in India like a Jedi knight, and will come back and average 44 points per game next season.
But there’s no question that the Lakers’ Robert Sacre has the most interesting offseason plans of all, as he revealed in an exit interview.
I know what you’re thinking. “that’s a misspelling. He wants to find Sasquatches.” Now while that would still be awesome, that’s not in fact what Sacre meant. The letter “d” is in there deliberately, as he explained:
Sounds like quite a summer he’s got planned for himself.
Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised. This is the same Robert Sacre, after all, who once bought a cow with Chris Kaman.
He’s also the guy who serves as basically the Lakers’ unofficial cheerleader from the bench, as this video proves:
He sure seems like a fun teammate to have around. And even if hunting for sandsquatches does sound a lot like just being a Canadian person, who are we to rob Sacre of his wonderful terminology?
Kobe Bryant was not part of the exit interviews, as he did not finish the season with the team. I’d imagine that “I’m looking for sandsquatches” is probably the last possible thing you’d ever hear Kobe Bryant say, though. This way is more fun.
And these are the guys Byron Scott thinks would shoot him in the back in a foxhole? Bob Sacre would never shoot you in the back, Byron. Sandsquatches sound like peace-loving creatures, after all.
