Quien es Muy Macho?: La Barba



For those that are unaware during the summer Cleveland's Drew Gooden and Washington's Deshawn Stevenson entered into a ritual Beard Growing Contest. The first one to shave loses . The winner gets pride and a large sum of money in the form of unmarked bills.

Now I've been covering Beard growing contests for over 15 years now and I can say this is the first time one has involved possible playoff contenders since the Bill Walton v. His Acid Trip contest of the late 1970s. What if Gooden's beard grows so big he dehydrates? What if Stevenson's beard attacks a reporter? These outcomes could affect their teams playoff positions. However playoffs and looks be damned this is La Barba Macho contest. Quien es Muy Macho: Drew Gooden or Deshawn Stevenson?
