"The Match" will be back later this month, but it will look awfully different from years past.

One side of the bracket features the duo of Wayne Gretzky and Bill Murray going up against Charles Barkley and Ken Griffey Jr. The other side of the bracket will be Michael Phelps and Mark Wahlberg vs. Blake Griffin and Nate Bargate.
