QUARTERFINALS
#2 Zhang Ziyi vs. #7 Tyra Banks
Y'all know that Tyra Banks is going out w/ Chris Webber, right? Well I'd like to take this opportunity to defend C-Webb against his detractors. First of all, he is an awesome player. I'd rank him as the #3 power forward in the NBA, after Tim Duncan (who shouldn't even be a PF) and Kevin Garnett, and he is hands down the best passing big man in the league. People forget that anyone who gets you 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per night qualifies as a superstar.
No one doubts that C-Webb is a statistical monster, but lately people have been pinning the Suckramento Kings' hardships on his lack of leadership and not taking the ball to the hole. I think Webber is an above-average 15 foot shooter. Why can't he shoot outside? Just becaues he's a PF, he has to bang down low and expend energy? Look at Karl Malone. All he does is shoot outside, and people don't complain at all. Guess what, Mailman and C-Webb have the same number of championship rings.
Lack of leadership? The Kings are probably the deepest team in the NBA. They survived for 1/3 of the whole season w/o C-Webb. This team functions through chemistry and ball distribution. The fact that the Kings underachieve is not solely C-Webb's fault. They got off to a great start while he was injured, and when he came back, they still had the best record in the league. He is simply a cog in the well-oiled Suckramento machine.
And his lack of clutch ability? How the hell can he be clutch when he is saddled w/ foul trouble all the time, w/ many of them coming on questionable offensive foul calls? Some of his charges are absolutely laughable. So at the end of games, he has to be too cautious and can't be aggressive, know that any power move he makes will be whistled against him. So the safest route is shooting outside. Now we've come full circle.
Oh yeah, Beeotch Contest........... Go vote!
