best nba player in 1 on 1

[SnitchDevil]

Hmm....i would rank T-Mac number 1...look at T-Mac's Jumper...it's rather tough to block..cuz he raises very up high than any player in the league..well i think if he goes 1 on 1 wif Kobe..Kobe can't do nothing about that..and Kobe comes after T-Mac

Here's a little story for you. There was wa game between the lakers and rockets, T-mac was on fire for the first 3 quarters and he had (i forgot the numbers) something like 30 - 40 points. What happened in the 4th? At the start of the 4th kobe told t-mac "no more points for you buddy"

Guess what happened? T-mac went scoreless.

another guy that i would add to my list of top 1 on 1 players is earl boykins.

Don't let McGrady's length be a factor, Bryant gets up pretty high for his jumpshot. He gets pretty damn high.

lol what are you talking about- length?

Tmac's talent is a factor

[Avrah3]

Length is something that increases his talent.

[air gordon]

lol thanks for clearing that up

Kevin Garnett. He has the size and quickness of a guard, so he can guard just about anyone from a small forward height downwards, and his length makes him even more lethal. On offense, no one can block his jump shot. No one. He has really long arms, and he shoots it above his head, which makes it unblockable. Bottom line, it's KG.

1. Kobe: his offense is obviously on another level(and he can post up and score), and on defense he has shutted down the likes of T-Mac & Ray Allen
2. AI: unstopable offense when there's shooting foul, but his height may mire him on defense
3. T-Mac: similar game to Kobe's, despite his bigger size and length, Kobe is head and shoulder better than him on both ends of the court

I dun think Wade and Bron would be good in 1on1 games. Wade doesnt hv range and Bron just dun hv Kobe's/AI's?TMac's speed and ball handling skill, added that both of them aint really good on defense. Wade just play help defense and then block the ball from behind, and James is nothing playing 1on1 D.

1. Kobe - he has the best developed offensive repertoire of anyone in this league, plus he has the size and D to go with.
2. T-Mac - more size, athleticism, length and pure talent than Kobe, but he didn't utilize/develop it at its fullest.
3. KG - at his prime he was able to defend and score on anyone. He lost some of his athleticism in the last year or so. I don't know why, he isn't even 30 years old, but he clearly isn't the same player he was two years ago.
4. VC - with that superstar talent he can make the unmakeable shots and he can clearly defend when he desires to.
5. LBJ - he doesn't have his skillset fully developed yet, namely shooting and everything that alows you that superstar creativness.
6. Chauncey Billups - he can do everything on the offensive and defensive end - shoot, penetrate and post up.
7. Gilbert Arenas - CB1 minus D.
8. Dwyane Wade - he doesn't have a respectable jumpshot and he is also a overrated defender.

He's been playing for almost 10 years. He's tired. Really, he's already 30. I think he's going down, he's no longer in his prime.

[SnitchDevil]

Why talk about KG in his prime? We're currently discussing the present.

[H Rock]

For your information, I am also talking about the present.

8. Dwyane Wade - he doesn't have a respectable jumpshot and he is also a overrated defender.

I think Wade lacks range on his jumper, but that doesn't mean that he can't hit anything. I think he's got a decent shot from mid-range and the guy is shooting 47% (although having a blubbering chunk of meat in the middle of the paint does help create a bit more open opportunities).

lol where's riot for once?

the guy doesn't play a rugged style of play, hasn't missed time to a serious injury, or play a ton of minutes in the postseason

if anything it would be someone like bryant who will break down by 30

Oh man, that just cracked me up!

t-mac can stop kobe if he wants too

[H Rock]

But he doesn't. With T-Mac's height and and length, he has potential to be a Tayshaun Prince with even more talent. But he doesn't try hard enough. Under Jeff Van Gundy, he certainly is doing better than he did in Orlando, but I think he has more potential than this.

[SnitchDevil]

really? has he ever shown it? Kobe has.

I think most of his shots come from the paint, no?
