1v1 is not real basketbal

Lebron can say its gay to kiss a girl and his stans would follow suit

1v1s are real basketball / football in their purest and most simplistic forms.

At the same time, they hold zero weight when you get to the NBA level. That kat who is a placeholder on the roster could probably cook an all-star in a 1v1 on a good day.

I can guarantee that there was a role player in the NBA during Jordan's time who would light his ass up. Same for Kobe, Bron, and any other ATG besides big men.

Nope, we would've heard those stories already

The reason 1 on 1 isn't real basketball is because basketball is inherently a team sport.

It's like saying the Oklahoma drill is real football.
Or live BP without fielders is real baseball.

1 vs 1 is ego shyt and it might be fun. But it has never proved anything.
There are far too many basketball failures who could dominate 1 vs 1 situations to act like it would be true.

15 star post and a post with some intelligence in here and no cheap gimmicks to shoot at certain players due to stale hate

Yea. They’re playing 1s. Thats real basketball. Never said that they couldn’t be beat. Hell even MJ got beat. Hell, I bet Salley wasn’t acreening and passing the ball. He had a bag. The only player who probably not getting beat in 1s is KD.

KD not beating Kyrie.

1v1 is a drill, there are too many guys that are nice in 1v1 but trash the moment 8 other guys hit the court and it’s time to run full instead of half court

Nah. KD beating Kai. Kai ain’t stripping KD.

By playing 5v5

You get better playing basketball, by playing actual basketball.

Nothing worse than playing with a dude who dribbles 30 times and jacks up a step back 3 like it’s 21 when we’re playing a full game.

You ain’t getting the ball again breh. Better go rebound or cut and set a screen

One on one is played with a 3 dribble max and/or a time limit nowdays breh

at a certain level 1 v 1 is not real basketball. I agree. Nba level offensive players cant be stopped by any single player. It just becomes a scoring fest. But i'll let ya'll cook and disagree with the top 1% thay actually made it to the league.

We should not forget that the overall best player may not be better at a certain aspect than a specialist role player.

In gymnastics there are the All-Arounders and the specialists. All-Arounders might have their best events (like Simone Biles' is stronger on Floor and Vault), but they have a level of excellence across all events. Specialists concentrate on one event. They are picked to join a national team delegation because of a need.

I think of stars as all-arounders. They might be better at one aspect of the game than another, but they are strong enough that they can basically fit into any lineup and contribute. Tatum, Curry, Giannis, Luka, etc. They can pretty much be on the market and 30/30 teams will think they can contribute right away.

Role players are like specialists. You put a pommel horse specialist on still rings and he's likely to be awful. In womens' gymnastics, there are often uneven bars specialists who couldn't vault to save their lives.

Role players need to fit into a specific lineup and to know what their role is. Some are defensive specialists (like Matisse Thybulle), others are great at rebounding (like Rodman or Josh Hart), others great spot-up shooters (like Grayson Allen).

Role players often struggle when sent to a new team for this reason. Their game isn't as diverse as a star. They need to fit into a puzzle. Stars find puzzle pieces to fit around them.

Being a good 1 vs 1 guy can make you useful on a team. Microwave scorers like Jamal come to mind.
