In case anyone didn't vote the first time around, I'll copy and paste the instructions/explanation here along with the bracket. I know a lot of you may remember this from last season, and I thought it'd be pretty cool to try it again this year and see who does best according to us here at CC.net this year. Just click on the little symbol above this message to edit my post, and then highlight, copy, and paste my bracket to your own post, and put a W by who you think will win. I'll tally up the votes later on next week. Remember this is strictly a one on one tournament, not necessarily who is the better player, so remember that when voting. Kevin Garnett was the winner last year over Vince Carter in the finals, but to see round by round results, see the following links. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000991.html http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000983.html http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000978.html http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000971.html http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000965.html http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000958.html Second round bracket: A 1.Kobe Bryant 9.Jamal Mashburn 4.Chris Webber 12.Richard Hamilton 3.Tracy McGrady 11.Reggie Miller 2.Stephon Marbury 7.Antoine Walker B 1.Kevin Garnett 9.Peja Stojakovic 13.Baron Davis 5.Tim Duncan 3.Paul Pierce 6.Glenn Robinson 2.Michael Finley 10.Dirk Nowitzki C 1.Vince Carter 8.Jason Terry 4.Ray Allen 5.Grant Hill 3.Shareef Abdur-Rahim 11.Lamar Odom 15.Sam Cassell 7.
