If the NBA had a 1 on 1 tournament who would win

Yes there is and harden won.

 

That's a terrible video of that king of the hill. Harden actually won but that video only showed harden getting the ball times in 5 min go find the other ones harden was schooling both of them and even swatted KD

 

it would be amazing if they had an 8 person 1v1 tourney as an all star event. just play to some tiny number like 3 baskets to keep risk of injury low.

 

who would win at HORSE if dunks weren't allowed?

 

Jerry Lin

 

Who would win knockout if steph was not in the game?

 

This. Durant wins hands down man. He is truly unstoppable when playing 1 on 1.

Rememeber in 1995, shaq was supposed to play Hakeem in a 1 on 1 as part of a Taco Bell
Thing.

No way Curry would win. Too small and it's not like he would get open likes he does in games. Kale would perform better than him.

 

LeBron
Durant
George
Harden

You need someone who is athletic enough to guard quicker players and strong enough to give bigger players trouble. All the above can do that + shoot at a good clip.

 

Derrick Rose

 

He would tear his ACL&MCL after two minutes.

 

Melo would win any 1v1 tournament. He practices 82 games a year.

 

As said before, if it's winner's ball (like all true street ball is played) then Curry will win any game that he starts first. Just keep popping those 3's the second he gets it. As logn as he doesn't have to play D, he'll win.

If not for that, I'd have to say Lebron and KD in the final. Lebron would bulldoze KD and has the quickness to guard KD sometimes.

If fouls were ever called in streetball, Harden wins. LOL kidding.

 

Sorry but Curry is not gonna beat anyone without his illegal moving screens. So LeBron it is for me. He would truck his way through any of these guys to easy layups and dunks, plus the occasional uncalled 5-step travel in his repertoire as well.

 

AD is an interesting candidate. He is not polished enough in the post yet though, but he ticks all the boxes that everyone says Lebron ticks. He's quick enough to guard the permeter, strong enough to guard inside. He just doesn't have the post-offense polish that Lebron has (after training with Hakeem).

I'd have to say that at the theoretical peak of their careers, AD could be one of the best 1 on 1 players of all time because of his versatility. Along with LBJ and Magic. Guys who could win a tournament playing against both big men and guards.

 

Curry would win easily.

He would dribble left behind Draymonds moving screen and trigger a money 3. If they go over the screen to defend the shot, he just passes for the dunk.
Of course his opponent complains about it being 2 on 1, and a moving screen, but the ref just shakes his head.

 

:grin: This quote omg. haha

 

Either Lebron or Durant. Lebron can practically power through most of the players listed in the picture with his athleticism. On the other hand, Durant has the best mid range pop shots in the league.
