Final Finals Showdown: Gooden's Neckstache vs. Manu's Bald Spot

It may not have the cachet of LeBron vs. The Rash (or even Frenchie/Larry), but the stylistic war upon us will always hold water in this league of style.

No one on the globe knows what to make of Drew Gooden's Bizarro Moustache, his businessless party in the back. Most mock it, many stare at its hypnotic magnetism. I'm here to say it's fricking rules.

On the opposite side of the battlefield we have the naturalism of Manu Ginobili's growing bald spot. Where Gooden is daring and abstract, Manu is a realist. Lord knows he's beloved enough in Bueno Aires to get the fresh hair of Argentine boys transplanted to his dome, but he's opted to stay true and display the male pattern baldness with confidence. Kudos for the honesty, for sure.

But the spot is more fairly matched up against Sheed's divot -- Manu simply can't compete with the awesomeness that is the neckstache. Major victory for Cleveland here.
