Who Are The Top 5 1 On 1 Players In NBA History?

[Rigby.]

That's the thing. If u ever played 1 on 1 with people of different sizes and shapes, knowing Lebron game, he would still struggle to get past most of those mentioned because of his below average creativity and handle. That bulldozing does not work against someone who is quicker than you that's gone beat u to the spot. I feel like it would be easier keeping Bron from the basket than it would be to keep nikkas like MJ, Bird, Mcgrady, Melo, ect from hitting those J's if they can't just dribble past Bron.

To each his own though, but if u are gone include Bron then Wade should be on the list also.

Prime Bron has a pretty solid shot though, I'm sure he could get his

Of course prime Wade should be in the top 5-10. Extremely creative guy

That's dumb though, you're assuming LeBron wouldn't adjust to a tougher league. In the cases where LeBron was getting fouled in the Finals, most of those were fouls and refs just weren't calling them. People call for fouls when they think they get fouled, you didn't see Jordan doing that in his championship winning years because refs called everything for him. He survived with a smaller and less athletic frame, did he not?

yea and those 2 years he did he lost in the finals


I'm not saying he wouldn't have adjusted in a tougher league, I'm saying all that driving to the rack full speed as big as he was wasnt flying like that back in the days.

I'll probably take kyrie over lebron in a 1 on 1 matchup but that's just me.

Well I don't think the frame changing was the biggest factor in him becoming a Finals winner, but that's already been discussed...
