    no doubt bout it
    Kobe has a lot of post moves and "dream shakes" like moves
    James is physical but can be neutralized easily

    It's not even about skill. Kobe would just want it more. He'd push an old lady under the bus to beat Lebron 1v1. The guy just wills it to victory.

    Paul Pierce would own both of them 1-on-1

    paul pierce wouldn't have the refs to bail his ass out...i think melo would give kobe a good game and i think that durant would actually beat him

    I dunno he seems more team orientated. Coming off screens for his jumpers as appose to dribble pull ups etc

    i concur. durant has a straight up sick stroke but he doesnt have the handles to go up vs kobe 1v1. like someone said, melo has the versatility in his offensive game to give kobe trouble on that end.

    durant is a great shooter, but his 1-on-1 game isn't elite.

    i think durant needs to add some more moves, especially in the post, before he can be included in this conversation. In a team setting, he's fine with what he has now, but one on one, he's not, at least not against these two.

    So some people think LeBron can't play Kobe one on one because he doesn't have the handles but yet they think Durant can smh

    I'm sure Kobe and LerBon as well as other members of the Redeem Team has played 1-on-1 during Olympic practices. Maybe he's talking from experience about beating LerBon.

    Hakeem would've beaten any current and past "greats" 1-on-1.

    i think he's just played Lebron enough and watched a ton of tape on him to know Lebron's one on one game....he really explained it as best as it can be explained. Kobe's a one on one player, that's his thing. It's what' he practices, studies, looks for, etc. Nothing else really. When it comes to passing all he needs to know is to look for the open man, if his shot is shut down. Lebron naturally is thinking pass or score. Kobe's thinking score and then pass, if he can't get the shot off.

    I bet he couldn't beat Hakeem 1-1. And yes, I'm quite serious.

    Hakeem would block each one of his FGA.

    It's funny you call him LeBrick yet you're all on Melo's nuts who shoots worse than LeBron from just about every area on the floor.
