Richmond Region: (2) Steve Kerr vs (3) Kyle Korver

Our second matchup in the Richmond-South Regional and FINAL matchup of the entire first round is beyond intriguing. This battle features the 2 most accurate 3-point artists the league has ever seen, and they just so happen to both conveniently be white. 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: Suns, Cavs, Magic, Chicago Bulls, Spurs, Trail Blazers

Long story short, Steve Kerr is an absolute stud. Kerr was minimally recruited out of high school because he "could not jump" and was "two steps slower" than other players his position. Minor details though, Steve had one pure jumper. So pure in fact, he shot .454 from three point range over his career and is the all time leader in three point field goal percentage in NBA history. Additionally, Kerr is a five-time NBA champion, and the only NBA player to win four consecutive championships in the last 30 years. When Steve was 18, his father was assassinated in Beirut. Perhaps this served as motivation for his own assassin's mentality from long range. A lifetime role player, Steve gave white people around the world hope that it is possible to be an undersized, slow, unathletic white guard in the NBA, and he's got 5 rings and NBA record books to prove it.

You know Kyle Korver is checking in when you hear a loud, high-pitched scream erupt from every woman in attendance. This 6'7 god of a man from Pella, Iowa has become a favorite among white guys everywhere, although probably not as much as he is among white girls. The Ashton Kutcher look alike has made a business knocking down long range shots in the league. A cold blooded shooter, Korver repeatedly knocks down clutch jumpers everywhere he goes. As a matter of fact, last season he broke his opponent Steve Kerr's record for three point shooting percentage in a season. And how about the athleticism? Yeah, he's got that covered also. And for his whiteness? His hobbies include ping pong, bowling, horseshoes, croquet, pool, Frisbee golf, and dodgeball. Its not every day you see an Ashton Kutcher look alike who plays Frisbee golf going around breaking NBA records. Enough said, vote Korver.
