Sports 4 Dorks

Welcome to the end of our completely pointless, albeit oddly entertaining, BDL Bedlam Tournament. Two weeks ago, with your help, we compiled a list of 64 things that you love about the NBA, seeded them and created a Madness-like bracket to vote on. Today, we finally crown a winner. Voting is open until Monday at midnight, Eastern time. Have at it.

Our final BDL Bedlam match-up of the tournament is a doozy: No. 6 seed Dikeme Mutombo’s finger wag vs. No. 8 seed Marko Jaric’s supermodel girlfriend. (Note: Jaric’s boo upset Baron’s beard by about eight votes! Eight! Unbelievable.) A final look at the two competitors:

No. 6 DIKEMBE MUTOMBO‘S FINGER WAG: "There is one such gesture that has become bigger than
sports itself, one single movement that strikes fear into opponents,
joy into the hearts of fans, and lust into the loins of those who put
highlight packages together. This elementary but genius taunt has been
adopted by people of all sport, profession, gender, age, and race. This
transcendent move is none other than the Finger Wag made famous by one
Dikembe Mutombo." — The History of the Finger Wag

ROAD
TO THE BEDLAM BIG GAME: The sixth-seeded Finger Wag beat No. 11
Nowitzki’s fade away jumper; No. 3 Oden’s GO-hawk; No. 2 Rockets’
winning streak; No. 16 ‘NBA super fan’ Drew and No. 1 West playoff race.

No. 8 MARKO JARIC’S GIRLFRIEND, ADRIANA LIMA: Up until the start of this season, Wolves guard Marko Jaric had been best known for entering a game with his jersey on backwards and his love of a good island joke. And then he started dating one of the most beautiful women in the world. Lucky bugger.

ROAD TO THE BEDLAM BIG GAME: The eighth-seeded Jaric’s girlfriend beat No. 9 Tony and Eva Longoria; No. 1 Rasheed Wallace; No. 12 Oracle Arena; No. 3 Ray Allen’s sweet jumper and No. 1 Baron Davis’ beard.
