The first meeting of Vernon Macklin and Jerome Jordan was a nightmare for the Ginebra's import, where it seems that Jordan was ready for the battle inside and made the paint as if it is his territory as limiting Vernon for only 12 points at the end of their game last eliminations.
Vernon is an effective player inside the paint and had been successful taking over that side of the court with different imports. But Jordan put the powerful import into shame. Many people said that it will be the same thing again for Macklin come Game 1. They assumed that Vernon already found his dilemma with Jerome Jordan. However, VMack proved all critics wrong. He managed to finish the game with 25 points, 9 rebounds and gathered 1 steal, block and assists. His stats is not far away from Jordan but the beating that the TNT's import received from Vmack is very evident.
Jordan has difficulty guarding Vernon especially the Ginebra's import is not posting up Jordan, he is facing Jordan with the ball and using his quickness he will drive into the basket which is very effective all night long. Vernon dominated the paint with his powerful and high flying dunks. Taking the fact that Jordan only scores a lot of points at the end game using long jumpers with a much lousy defense because Ginebra is just hanging on with a big lead. With Dawson's and Dunigan's team already eliminated, it seems that it is only Vernon Macklin that is left for Robert Dozier's rival for the current conference Best Import Award.
