Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Sports Illustrated's annual March Madness issue hits newsstands this week with five separate covers. You can see them all at SI's Facebook page, as Evan Turner, Wes Johnson, Sherron Collins, DeMarcus Cousins, Scottie Reynolds, and Matt Bouldin take center stage as March Madness tips off.
Who is Matt Bouldin, you ask? He's a senior guard for Gonzaga, currently averaging 15 ppg. No offense to Bouldin or endangered White ballers everywhere, but frankly, if that's the best player the West Coast region has to offer, then SI should have just left it blank. Also, while we're nitpicking... What's up with Demarcus Cousins?
Everyone jokes about Cousins' effort, but really. Every other player appeared in the same pose, dunking and screaming at the top of their lungs. While Cousins... Well, click to enlarge. I think he might be yawning. Or high. One or the other. Or both? In any case, why are we surprised?
Basketball's Jamarcus Russel doesn't ever yell, he just occasionally breathes a little louder.

They could have gone with the other good white player out west in BYU’s Jimmer Fredette.

Sports Illustrated March Madness Covers
I personally do not agree with the comments made in this article. I go to the same high school that matt bouldin attended and he is the best basketball player I have ever played with in person. There aren’t many white basketball players playing high levels any more so it is a great feeling to see him on the cover. Don’t try and take his glory away. He earned that spot and you should be proud of him just like me.
