When we first announced the matchups for this historic quest, the people were most irate about Mike James being a #1 seed, and even being included at all.
You the people have made your feelings clear, and in a stunning upset John Lucas III pulled off the first round victory over James by just 6(!) votes in our most voted on poll.
With the “Amityville Scorer” out of the way, Andrea Bargnani seemingly has a clear path to the final if he makes it out of his region. Meanwhile the other side will require a player to go through the ringer against the likes of Turkoglu, Hoffa, Rudy Gay and Alonzo Mourning.
