Much has been made of Shaun White's winning ways but we still can't get over that familiar laid back attitude and sometimes dorky demeanor of his.
In fact in seeing the pictures of Shuan and his fellow snowboarders on the award stand we couldn't help but be reminded of another triumphant triumverate involving 1. a shorter, yet older brother figure who sports glasses (DANNY KASS as KIP DYNAMITE); 2. an oblivious yet tempestuous red head (SHAUN WHITE as NAPOLEON DYNAMITE); and 3. a dude decked out in blue duds with a stylish v-cut who thinks he is cooler than everyone else (Finland's MARKKU KOSKI as UNCLE RICO).
Call it our own version of a Napoleonic complex but after coming across some quotes found in Shaun's NBC bio we couldn't help but take our comparison further. Can you differentiate between Napoleon's/Shaun's quips & clips below?
