The NBA isn't immune to all this bracket racket.
A pro basketball locker room is filled with former amateurs, many of them with a rooting interest at NCAA tournament time. And this time of year, NBA players “are pretty much tuned into the tournament,” Thunder forward Kyle Singler said.
Each year, the Thunder has its own bracket contest. This season, The Oklahoman asked some players to fill out brackets for publication. Russell Westbrook declined, but Singler, Enes Kanter and Doug McDermott were willing to make their picks public.
“It's always fun to fill it out in a group, because it's competition,” Singler said.
