Bar Down Dandy March Madness Elite Eight(Bracket 2 & 3)
Posted on 7:40 AM by Unknown
The Elite Eight is upon us and now we must depart the ranks of the elite and enter the chamber of legends. The players that enter the Final Four will be enshrined in BDD&C legacy forever.
9. Ray Lewis Vs. 11. Patrick Willis
A year or two from now this will probably a "changing of the guard" matchup. But for now the old dog will take the cake. Ray Lewis and Patrick Willis are seemingly the same player, different age. Both are the consummate defensive leader doing it both with words and actions. They also are phenomenal playmakers and elite tacklers. Ray Ray already ranks among the greatest of all-time, and Willis is going to assume the roll as the league's best linebacker. However, Lewis' ring and long tenured career gives him the edge in this lineup of elite linebackers. This also proves that linebacker is probably the most swagged up position in all of sports.
3. Dwyane Wade Vs. 5. Calvin Johnson
Wade will probably go down in NBA history as the greatest under appreciated player ever. More than Pippen, more than Hornacek, more than Larry Johnson. Megatron is gaining fame not only with his ridiculous catches, but also with his play first, talk never attitude that makes him the consummate team player. I like Wade in this matchup though simply because of his underrated nature. CJ is continuing to gain fame, while D-Wade still somehow rides Lebron's coattails even though everyone in the world knows Wade should take the final shot. Both these guys play with a killer's swagger, but I think Wade might have him slightly beat in that department.
