Short lazy summary: I'll post a series of polls documenting the top 32 players, according to ESPN, playing against each other in a 1 on 1 tournament. Not the best, but who can win in one on matchups. Have fun!

Using ESPN is to limit disagreement on the seedings, even though the rankings themselves are controversial.

1 MJ vs. 32 Scottie

2 LeBron vs. 31 AI

And so on and so on
