Mack Region: (2) Shawn Bradley vs. (3) Scot Pollard

Our 2nd matchup in the Mack, OH regional is a clash of two white oafs. The winner will advance to the final of the Midwest Region (where they will inevitably lose to Brent Barry). 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.


Shawn Bradley
(click name for highlight video)
College: BYU
Years in League: 1993-2005
Teams: 76ers, Nets, Mavericks

Adjectives used to describe Shawn Bradley: gigantic, bitch, white. The 2nd overall pick in the 1993 draft, Bradley will always be remembered as a poster boy for white players. Measuring in at 7'6" watching him play was nothing short of comedy. While the above highlight video provides a glimpse into that aspect, Shawn also was practically a human fly swatter. Among some of his whitest attributes, Bradley attended Brigham Young University and lists his favorite movie as Dances with the Wolves. As far as swag, nothing does wonders for this quite like a star role in the greatest movie of all-time, Space Jam. While sure people are quick to label Bradley as one of the biggest busts in the history of sports, white men near and far will never be ashamed to salute our gentle giant of a brother.


Scot Pollard
(click name for highlight)
College: Kansas
Years in League:
1997-2008
Teams:
Pistons, Kings, Pacers, Cavaliers, Celtics

Known for his rebounding and hairstyles, this Utah born big man is as white as they come. His strengths on the court include grabbing boards and then immediately passing it out before he does anything stupid. Nicknamed "Samurai Scot" while playing for the Kings, Pollard grew out countless different hairstyles including a mohawk and double ponytails, which he often complimented with a handlebar mustache and long sideburns. This earned him numerous comparisons to a white Dennis Rodman. He also enjoyed breaking out obscure jersey numbers, including number 66 with the Celtics because "the NBA wouldn't let me wear three sixes." He is also remembered for his positive influence on young children who watched him play. One thing we constantly give credit for in this tournament is a players ability to stand out. John Stockton wore short shorts with pride. Keith Van Horn brought back the high socks and Brent Barry had his black man hops. Now its time to give credit to a white man with ridiculous hair. Vote Pollard.
