Farmer City Final 4: (1) Brent Barry vs (4) Bryant "Big Country" Reeves

Live from beautiful Farmer City, Illinois, we are proud to bring you the second Final Four matchup. Today we watch as the white man who could jump will be taking on "Big Country" Bryant Reeves in a matchup that sure has a lot of upside. It has been a long journey for these two, and one of them will be rewarded with a shot at the crown. 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.


Brent Barry
(click name for highlight video)
College: Oregon St.
Years in League: 1995-2009
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!


Bryant Reeves

College: Oklahoma State
Years in League: 1995-2001
Teams: Grizzlies

Looking at this guy, it's hard to think that he was once a halfway decent basketball player. Dubbed "Big Country" by a teammate at OSU while traveling on an airplane for the first time ever, Bryant Reeves is one of the whitest men on the planet. As a matter of fact, I'm fairly certain he had never even seen a black person until he got to Oklahoma State. Just like you would expect, he lives on a ranch, got married on a farm, listens to Garth Brooks, and lists hunting and fishing as his favorite hobbies, along with destroying backboards and getting dunked on. Although you wouldn't expect it with his goofy appearance and Bobby Boucher resembling voice, he was actually pretty good until weight problems derailed his career, averaged double digits his first four seasons. Unfortunately, though, Burger King called and Big Country had to answer. Regardless, he is still a god among white people, as his teal Vancouver Grizzlies jerseys often sell for several hundred dollars on eBay. While Big Country never really quite found his home in the NBA, he will always have a home in white guys' hearts.

Richmond Region Final: (3) Kyle Korver vs. (4) Bryant Reeves

Our final matchup of the second round brings us a unique contrast in styles. Sharpshooter Kyle Korver takes on oaf Bryant "Big Country" Reeves to determine the winner of the Richmond Region and who moves on to join an elite quartet in fantastic Farmer City, Illinois. 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.


Kyle Korver

College: Creighton
Years in League: 2003-Present
Teams: 76ers, Jazz, Bulls

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, even breaking fellow white boy 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.

Richmond Region: (1) Rik Smits vs (4) Bryant Reeves

On to the South Regional we move into what experts claim to be the toughest region to win. Bracketologists near and far were not shy to pull the upset alert alarm for this showdown of some of the NBA's finest white trees of the 90's. The winner will go on to face the winner of tomorrow's matchup #2 Steve Kerr v. #3 Kyle Korver. 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.

Rik Smits

Teams: THE Indiana Pacers

Well if it isn't the Dunking Dutchman. Standing at 7'4" this tower of a white man is one of many great whites to wear a Pacers uniform. Short shorts, high black socks and a bulky knee brace were part of Rik's standard wardrobe, and boy did he ever look white. While dunking was never an issue for this menace of a man, Rik is most notable for his lethal mid-range jumper (the ultimate white man's specialty). In more accurate measurements of his intangibles, a Rik Smits jersey routinely sells for a triple digit price tag on Ebay, and the man has a rap song named after him. Needless to say, white boy swag has never been an issue with Rik Smits.
