B/R NBA's 2-on-2 Sweet 16 Bracket: Which Duo Takes All in NBA Jam-Style Tourney

Tournaments and brackets are hot this time of year, and search engine optimization never rests. So we've compiled a fun little two-on-two tournament featuring 16 sets of NBA teammates, pre-ranked and set against one another for your entertainment.These made-up games will be played to 21 by twos and threes, and it'll be winners' outs. You score, you keep the ball because that's how every half-court pickup game among true competitors (and not cowards) works.Also, there'll be a referee with a whistle, and he'll award shooting fouls and free throws according to typical NBA rules. That'll help us keep the hackers at bay, even if fouling out won't be possible.Five-second backdown rules will be strictly enforced because nobody wants to watch grind-it-out post-up battles. And perhaps most importantly, the higher seed gets to start with the balla major advantage in a make it, take it scenario.Finally, players with minor injuries qualify for inclusion, but guys out with more significant maladies and/or those sidelined indefinitely weren't up for consideration. That's bad news for they Toronto Raptors, who didn't even make the tourney without Kyle Lowry, and slightly less bad news for the Golden State Warriors, who don't get to use Kevin Durant.Let the games begin.Begin Slideshow
