Bryant, O'Neal, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett made up the top five. Hill, Allen, McGrady, Chris Webber and Tim Duncan were the next five. Bryant received 32 first-place votes, more than any other player. The winner of that series is to face either the Bucks or Magic. I don't think anybody could have put a finger on that.
Nobody knows how they are doing it.
They came in and they had the will to win. Miami took them lightly. They came in there and got busted. Allen claimed he had no preference about which team he would want to face in the second round if the Bucks make it through this series. The teams get better as you move along, so you just have to bring your game.
