Who's Tampa Bay's best pro athlete? Vote in our bracket

Picture Tampa Bay's greatest sports moment. What do you see?

• Is it Jon Gruden hoisting the Lombardi Trophy back in 2002? Or maybe Tom Brady playing catch with it 18 years later?

• Or maybe it's Lightning captain Steven Stamkos being handed the Stanley Cup for a second consecutive season in 2021.

State of play: Tampa Bay's teams are known for their idiosyncrasies, from the Rays' bargain-shopping, to the Bucs' reliance on defense, and a region-wide penchant for extracting those final good years from aging veterans.

Yes, but: Local teams have also fielded bona fide hall-of-famers and beloved contributors who'd have been heroes in any city.

Now, it's time to decide — who's the greatest pro athlete in Tampa Bay's history? This week, we'll host a bracket-style competition.

• Vote here to help us pick. We'll reveal the winner next week.
