Alana Beard: DT::Jimmer Fredette (or Ben Hansbrough):Kemba.
Beard and Jimmer are relegated to trivia questions; Diana and Kemba have the hardware that matters.
I liked your post because it's true, but it made me angry, as the whole Jimmer over Kemba thing still puts a sour taste in my mouth.
Jimmer wasn't half the player Kemba was. Kemba, at the college level, was complete in every aspect of the game from the guard position. Jimmer was much more one dimentional.
I'll say it, because I believe it: Jimmer won because he is a white guy, and all those white middle age man voters were having Jimmy Chitwood fantasies, blinding them to the reality of the two players.
And Kemba proved it: undefeated in tournament play on the season.
