I checked it out, if this truly is a basketball comp, then the 1988 Los Angeles Lakers win hands-down.

:The youngest members of the '88 Lakers are now in their 50s, which would be a significant handicap. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 69! The team with the best chance here is probably the regular basketball team wearing baseball equipment; with the exception of catcher's gear, it's the least restrictive of all the options.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.250|108.162.216.250]] 18:44, 3 April 2017 (UTC) | :The youngest members of the '88 Lakers are now in their 50s, which would be a significant handicap.

:This being Randall, they'll probably be playing basketball by Marquess of Queensberry rules.

:A lot of people who play NBA 2K17 are actually good in real life, so they should have a pretty good chance. | :A lot of people who play NBA 2K17 are actually good in real life, so they should have a pretty good chance. | ||

The additional text says, "Every year I make my bracket at the season ...." Should that say "at the end of the season"? --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.105|162.158.74.105]] 13:20, 3 April 2017 (UTC) | The additional text says, "Every year I make my bracket at the season ...."

:I was thinking it should say "at the beginning of the season," thus explaining why his bracket is busted before the postseason begins. Clearly ''something'' is missing!

What we should explain for non-USA people to understand this comic is that it is an annual tradition to predict the full bracket of games and compare the predictions with friends and workmates. It's not just "a competition bracket": it's the annual "I'm trying to picture what would these opponents do".

Could the basketball/baseball teams be a reference to Michael Jordan (in)famous 1993–1994 period during which he retired from basketball and played baseball instead? --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.134.106|162.158.134.106]] 09:34, 4 April 2017 (UTC) | Could the basketball/baseball teams be a reference to Michael Jordan (in)famous 1993–1994 period during which he retired from basketball and played baseball instead? --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.134.106|162.158.134.106]] 09:34, 4 April 2017 (UTC) | ||

The NBA 2k17 top developers team might refer to a team made up of NBA 2k17 developers that was created for the game. In some sports video games the developers will create a hidden or bonus team composed of people on the development team, with really good abilities. --[[Special:Contributions/207.136.199.12|207.136.199.12]] 16:45, 4 April 2017 (UTC) | The NBA 2k17 top developers team might refer to a team made up of NBA 2k17 developers that was created for the game.

:I interpret that matchup to mean video game players vs video game developers in a real game of basketball. If you ignore realty and pander to the stereotypes then both teams would be pretty unathletic.

I think Air Bud should become a category due to the number of comics referencing the films.
