Mack Region: (1) Brent Barry vs. (4) Mike Miller

FINALLY! The region you have all been waiting for which just so happens to feature my pre-tourney pick to bring home the title. Our first matchup of the Mack, Ohio-Midwest Region features two long-haired whities, each known for their aerial attacks in different respects. The winner will advance to the final of the Midwest Region. We remind you the votes should be based off of ability to play fundamentally sound basketball, goofiness, upside, and most importantly, token white boy swag. A poll will open up on the right hand column for the next seven days. At the end of the week, the player with more votes obviously moves one step closer to the title.

Teams: Clippers, Bulls, Heat, Supersonics, Spurs, Rockets

In case you were ignorant enough to not view the above highlight video, please do it. For all you skeptics, Brent is in fact 100% Caucasian and could jump across the Grand Canyon. The fact he won the dunking contest makes him a God of whites, but let's not forget that much like every other decent white man to ever grace the league, Brent could make it purr from long range. Barry defied any and every stereotype about white players with his high flying slams and Pistol Pete Maravich-esque dish outs. I'd go so far as to say Brent may have had too much swag on the court. Off the court...well let's just say his woman is finer than Eva Longoria (just ask Tony Parker). Needless to say, Brent Barry shrines are rampant in Mack. All in all, Brent will always be remembered as the man who played a little role reversal and broke the color barrier for whites to participate in aerial activity in the NBA. All hail!

Mike Miller
(click name for highlight video)
College: Florida
Years in League: 2000-Present
Teams: Magic, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Wizards, Heat

The fifth overall pick in the legendary 2000 NBA Draft, Miller has actually outshined everyone else from that first round, including the legendary Stromile Swift, Marcus Fizer, and DerMarr Johnson. This South Dakota native wasted no time making a name for himself by being named Rookie of the Year. He is best known for raining threes, dramatically flopping every time he drives to the basket, and being called an "unathletic white guy" by LeBron James. Miller's signature has always been his hair, though. He followed in the footsteps of John Stamos and Kenny Powers by effectively rocking a mullet for most of his career. As for his swag off the court, he is the owner of a pet monkey. An unathletic white guy from South Dakota with a mullet? The NBA certainly needs a few more of those.

VOTE!!
