1 on 1 matchups

[hammertime23]

This thread was inspired by this in the Team USA thread thing

LOL LEBRON would kick ANTHONY's butt in a 1 on 1.. Clearly.. I'd rather pick LEBRON over ANTHONY anytime..

Personally I think Carmelo would win, becuase yes as good as LeBron is he's much more suited for a team style of play, whereas Carmelo is the scoring for his team. I know LeBron is the primary scorer for his team too but he also has a great supporting cast.

The point of this thread is for you guys to throw out some contreversial 1 on 1 matchups you'd love to see and for people to give there opinion on them.

I would love to see Tony Parker play against Jason Terry. What are your guys' thoughts on this particular game?

I think that Bron's inability to guard Melo's jumper and Melo's underrated defence will beat Bron 7 out of 10 times.

I see Tony Parker winning in this matchup with his floaters.

Joe Johnson vs Ray Allen would be pretty good, both evenly matched players, similar style of play etc.

[Zoom]

Raja Bell v Kobe. That would be interesting... I would watch

And before they made up, Artest vs B Wallace... lol

[dan_suth]

I think Lebron would kill Carmelo... he could take him to the hole every single time no problem.

[Indy]

And before they made up, Artest vs B Wallace... lol

Made up? Artest was quoted by the Tribune saying he really wanted to fight Ben Wallace bad.

[RKO]

I would like to see.....Shaq vs Duncan

[Oznogrd]

artest would win against ben in a 1 on 1 game because ben would have no outlet passes and doesnt have the handles or jumper of artest...although i'd agree, it'd be fun to watch...Personally i would love to see a Dirk vs. Larry Bird in his prime solely because tall white boys who can shoot amuse me to no end....

[hammertime23]

I would like to see.....Shaq vs Duncan

That would be a great game, power against finesse. It would be really close.

[Indy]

Rafer Alston vs. Allen Iverson. I'd love to see that.

They made up when their teams met last week I think it was. Artest said it was good to put it behind them.

Don't you have to win 1-on-1 games by two points if it goes to 10-10 ?

[Zoom]

You can always agree to make it win by 1 or 2... if it's win by 2, Indy forgot to put in:

Yao shoots a three over Earl and scores 12- 11
Yao blocks Earl's shot attempt 12- 11
Yao called for foul 12 - 11
Yao Ejected, Double Technical for saying sorry to official

Game- Early Boykins.

For the new breed:

How about RUDY GAY vs HAKIM WARRICK..

Similar style of play.. Similar gears.. Similar Speed.. Similar Looks.. They look the same everytime i watch a MEMPHIS game..

[nets4life]

Howard v Okafor, we saw a glipse of it today but this would be a great matchup. same draft class, same styles ish, and around the same size too

[theflash02]

Hey guys.. Which one is bigger and strionger? I mean physically.. And Strength.. Is it Howard or Okafor?
