Prime Lebron vs Prime Jordan 1 on 1. Who wins?

[Dionysus]

In a game to 11?

If Jordan got the ball first, LeBron would win 11-9. If LeBron gets first ball, he beats Jordan 11-0.

LeBron would be just too big, strong, and fast for Jordan to handle. Especially in a 1 on 1 game where Jordan doesn't have Pippen to defend LeBron (like he does the other teams best player). Jordan would be forced to contested jumpers, while LeBron just bulls him and dunks away.

What do you think?

[K.Koscik]

I don't think so. Lebron's game is not suited for one on one. He is an open court player firstly and his biggest skill in the half court set would be running an offense, which isn't a factor in one on one. Jordan on the other hand could attack the basket better than even Lebron, but also has one of the greatest post games to boot (one of the most important facets of 1o1 basketball)

[BBallZen83]

I would say Jordan. He has more if an offensive arsenal and better footwork.

[imdaman99]

lebron needs a pick even when someone like jj barea is guarding him, who is gonna set the pick in a 1 on 1?

[diamenz]

what are ya, kidding me? without anyone to pass the ball to, lebron would run out of options faster than you can say 'flop'. mj would use every single fundamental in the book in order to create a opening and make a fool of leborn.

[SpecialQue]

Kobe.

*ducks*

[Dionysus]

No player can guard LeBron 1 on 1 without help in the paint.

[secund2nun]

6'8 265 pound Lebron would push 6'6 215 pound Jordan around with ease for easy buckets in the paint. Lebron would win. 1 on 1 is about size first.

Lebron would get the ball stolen before he could even get into post position. :oldlol:

You think Lebron's gonna back him down from the 3 pt. line? :oldlol:

[CAstill]

Horrible opinion! Jordan would abuse Lebron 1 on 1. Lebron's mechanics aren't good enough to just bully Jordan on the court in the half court set. Lebron isn't Shaq just taking people deep then destroying them, he's going to front up and try to penetrate and most likely try to finish with a move at the rim or some type of fadeaway both which Jordan can defend. Jordan could pull up from anywhere on the court and get to any spot for any shot, Lebron can't and doesn't do that. IMO Jordan seemed a lot more dominant in the post and his better footwork makes short work of Lebron.

[razzredazzre]

Lets be real if there was an all-time 1 on 1 NBA tournament.. Kobe and Jordan are the favorites no question.. and Lebron is probably in the 3-10 range..

[secund2nun]

Lebron would get the ball stolen before he could even get into post position. :oldlol:

Lebron is a very good ball handler it won't get stolen like that. Jordan must have had 100 spg in your eyes.

Also Lebron is very fast and very athletic. He is not some immobile center, he can handle the ball and then post up when he is near the paint, not at the 3 point line. Unless of course MJ was so good at D that you could not get past him ever godMJ!!!

You act like Lebron is Greg Oden. MJ would get bullied. Magic would also beat MJ in one on one.

[Soundwave]

LeBron is a terrific player, but his first step and 1-on-1 dribble moves leave a lot to be desired, I've seen him struggle to get past some mediocre/average defenders 1-on-1 without someone setting a pick for him.

I remember the Bulls series a few years ago, where he couldn't get past Asik off the dribble, lol.

Jordan (prime) has one of the most explosive first steps in NBA history.

MJ also had the more reliable jump shot and probably even the better post game.

LeBron just doesn't have a lot of moves 1-on-1 and has neglected his post game development, he likes to play at the top of the key, which negates a lot of his size advantage and he is not a better shooter than Jordan either.

MJ's got this. As much as it pains me to say it, Kobe would be beat LeBron 1-on-1 as well. Maybe even DWade (prime). 1-on-1 is very different from 5-on-5.

So have we all hit any conclusion yet, so this thread dies? :confusedshrug:

[memetherapy]

I'm a huge fan of Lebron's game, but you sir are all types retarded. There's at least a dozen players in the NBA who would consistently beat Lebron 1 on 1. Jordan is pretty much one of the best 1 on 1 players ever... if there was really some players who could beat him, it would be guys like Durant, Melo or Kobe.

[LosBulls]

Well i don't "like" either of them, but LeBron lacks a good post game and has an inconsistent jumper so I give this one to Jordan just due to the fact that LeBron will have a harder time scoring.

[diamenz]

this second2nun guy...

laughing my flucking ass off. lebron is so incredibly awkward in the post and lacks the creativity, reaction to a defense and just straight up go-to moves to be any threat at all. if he ever upped his post game (immensely) it would be a close one between mj and he, but right now it just ain't happening. mj would fundamentally destroy him and make him extremely uncomfortable defensively. not to mention the trash talking lebron would succumb to.

Nobody there to set a pick for Bron? MJ got this, easily, no contest.

[aburre21]

people like to bring up LeBron using picks.Tony Parker and Chris Paul use picks religiously and they're point guards, so did D Wade. Are you going to say that they're not quick and can't get by their defender? They're some of the quickest players in the league. You use Pick and rolls to get the defense out of position and off balance, to force them to react instead of just clogging the paint, etc.

BS, lebron needs picks because he usually cannot score on boris diaw 1 on 1. he needs to force duncan or tiago splitter to cover him. in a 1 on 1 game, there is no splitter, only MJ to try to score on. unless refs get involved and start giving lebron picks.

[deja vu]

Jordan is the ultimate 1-on-1 player. Give him an inch of space and he'll drain a jumper on your face. Stick to him like a leech and he'll blow by you with his quick first step. LeBron as great as he is, is not a great jumpshooter.

Besides, MJ was the far better defender. So I'll give MJ the win 8 times out of 10.

[plowking]

Lebron. The bigger player usually wins one on ones, especially when skill wise they're evenly matched.

[Linspired]

Better trash talker wins.

Of course. Wade would beat Lebron 1 on 1 as well. :oldlol:


Scott Burrell lost to MJ in 1 on 1, and the score was 7-6. Scott Burrell is exactly who you think he is. A nobody. Someone you don't know because he scored 6ppg in his NBA career, and was a teammate of Jordan's for one year.

He was 6'7 and about 10lbs heavier than Jordan. The bigger guy usually wins, and that goes hand in hand with this particular outcome. Burrell who isn't close to MJ's skill level, almost wound up winning. Because hes bigger and stronger. A 6'7 - 6'9 player is perfect for one on one. Size and speed are still intact.

Same goes for people saying Kobe would dominate in a one on one tournament today. Players like Carmelo, Lebron, Thaddeus Young, Josh Smith, etc would dominate.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carmelo beat everyone in the NBA today 1-on-1. Probably him and Durant are the best in the NBA right now.

[Vienceslav]

Where is genghis when he has a legitimate case to be mad for once?:roll:

[BoutPractice]

It would depend largely on luck.

Current LeBron has a better 3 point shot than Jordan and uses his superior size better than he used to, so if he gets hot and gets the ball first, he'll win. If Jordan has the ball first, he'll win most of the time.

[Mr. Jabbar]

gene-ban OP, we need to make sure his blood relatives in line of descent will never be able to make another post here

[AirFederer]

MJ and it is not even close.

There is one thing Bron does better than MJ and that is passing. That`s not going to help him here lol.

Everything else is MJ by a country mile.

He would get inside Bron`s head very quickly.

MJ would smoke past Bron for a varity of dunks, and drain jumpers all day.

Prime Jordan, are you kidding me, that guy is GOAT.

Bron aint got no worries or post moves so forget about posting MJ up.

MJ would embarrass Bron, for sure. :bowdown:

[alexd]

In a game to 11?

If Jordan got the ball first, LeBron would win 11-9. If LeBron gets first ball, he beats Jordan 11-0.

LeBron would be just too big, strong, and fast for Jordan to handle. Especially in a 1 on 1 game where Jordan doesn't have Pippen to defend LeBron (like he does the other teams best player). Jordan would be forced to contested jumpers, while LeBron just bulls him and dunks away.

What do you think?

:facepalm u talk like jordan was a bad defender or something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4gigN2zMU4
jordan would eat lbj 1on1..lbj can t handle 1v1 situations that good.heck diaw gave him serious troubles.he could try to back down jordan but jordan is strong as hell.sure he would score points but he would lose the ball eventually.plus jordan has much much much better offensive game.mj could create space out of thin air.that s what separated him from other players.he didn t only count on his freakish athleticism like lebron,but he had sound fundamentals and knew how to get the room he wanted to shoot.

[K Xerxes]

Probably Jordan.

But one-on-one is really irrelevant and ignores two of James' best attributes: passing and team defense.

I don't really care. When I say Jordan is the best basketball player ever, I always mean in a 5 on 5 context. That's the way basketball is played.

[diamenz]

did i wake up in the twilight zone or something? what offensive threat is lebron besides three point shooting and driving & kicking? if he doesn't get past jordan the only option he has is to either flop or pass and ain't no one to bail him out on that one.

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron would just drain threes over poor, small MJ. And then when MJ would finally get closer to him, he would drive past him like nothing. He could even eventually post him and back him down all the way under the basket.

The only thing that MJ has is midrange.He can't drive past superior athlete in LeBron, he can't shoot threes, he can't post him for an easier shot than a fadeaway.

Good luck with midrange and long twos against shots at the rim and superior 3 point shooting:lol

lebron couldn't beat kobe, durant or even melo one on one - he does not have a strong enough offensive arsenal.

[BBallZen83]

It's been brought up in this thread about LeBron's first step. He had what seems to me a much quicker first step in his Cleveland days than now. He used to blow by people easier. Is that due to him putting on some more weight to work on his post game?

[Living Being]

Regardless of how big, strong, or skilled LeBron is, he doesn't have the mentality to beat Jordan one-on-one. He would botch every attempt at trying to take it to MJ. His only hope would be shooting over the top from long range. If he could get hot or just lucky, he could have a chance. He would not get a dunk. MJ would drive to the hoop and shoot turn-around J's all day. He would probably get LeBron to bite on some of his fake palm-the-ball shots and get some dunks as well.

[Living Being]

I don't know if it's been brought up in this thread yet, but what about Jordan vs Pippen? Didn't Jordan beat him? You tellin' me LeBron would do better than Pippen? Pippen was longer and probably stronger than MJ.

Funnily enough, I'm pretty sure they had a 1 on 1 contest back in the 70's with a decent amount of purse to the winner. Something like 20 grand back then.

No surprise a 6'9 guy won the thing I believe. I'm sure he had the best iso, 1 on 1 moves in the league... Not.
Its like some of you haven't played 1 on 1 before. The bigger guy with a similar level of skill set usually takes it. I'd take Melo to beat Jordan a majority of the time too.

EDIT: Didn't Jordan lose to Stackhouse back in the day? lol...

[SamuraiSWISH]

Obviously MJ's skill set translates better to one v one caliber basketball. I'm not saying LeBron can't score, or can't defend, he does both at a high level ... and everyone at some point gets beat in one on one, but MJ's competitive tenacity, will power, athletic ability combined with his superior scoring skill set compared to LeBron make him the safer bet in these terms. LeBron is a great team player, an evolved Magic Johnson / Scottie Pippen.

[Doranku]

Interesting question. Is there a shot clock? If not, the game would never end because LeBron would never get a high percentage shot to justify shooting the ball.

[Remix]

"bigger guy usually wins" - that must be all there is to basketball.

[KOBE143]

[SamuraiSWISH]

MJ and Kobe have to be the absolute best one on one players the game has ever seen. Quite easily too. They are both quick, smart, athletic, skilled, tenacious, yet are guards that are big enough and long enough not to get frustrated by long defenders like ultra quick scorers such as Derrick Rose or Allen Iverson would. And at the same time can defend slightly bigger guys like LeBron, Melo, Magic, etc.

He's like 1.5 inches taller than Jordan, you're acting like it would be bogues vs. larry johnson.

Here is a post up on kobe

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/002/986/053/hi-res-161382171_display_image.jpg?1361159796

Does kobe look dwarfed and overmatched? Absolutely not. Jordan was bigger/stronger/taller than kobe. Jordan was a huge SG who could play SF
Jordan and Kobe are virtually identical in stature... everything from height to length to weight and as a result, probably also strength.

Kobe:
6-4 and 3/4 w/o shoes
6-11 wingspan
178-230lbs weight range throughout career

Jordan:
6-4 and 7/8 w/o shoes
6-11 and 1/4 wingspan
198-225lbs weight range throughout career

Saying Jordan was bigger stronger taller etc is misleading... up close and standing next to each other they looked near as makes no difference identical in size.

[sdot_thadon]

I feel like this would be an epic dogfight and could go either way any given game. Mj was Mj, we know his game and his advantages but how can anyone say Mj blows him away? I think guarding MJ would be the most difficult matchup Lebron could see, albeit he never faced a defender of Lebron's caliber either. Lebron would be the larger man with comparable speed and athleticism. Size is a big deal in a one on one game where it's man to man. Lebron's strength finishing would make life tough for Mj. On the flip side Mj would make his life tough far from basket. But let's not put blinders on guys.

Those saying Lebron would have no one to pass to and no picks.....um you think Lebron's heard of one on one ball? I'm sure he wouldn't be looking to pass and play a game more suited for the situation. I could also see things getting nasty given Goat's mean streak, but when provoked Bron has doled out punishment on the floor as well. I'd most definitely pay to see the game on pay per view like the dream/shaq publicity stunt from the 90s.

[nathanjizzle]

jordan. he is alot more skilled than lebron.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Jordan honestly wasnt better than Lebron at anything. Hell, even Bron is a better baseball player :oldlol:

[jstern]

Jordan would make him go left.

In all seriousness. Jordan has played and won one on one against current NBA players. While with the Wizards he was making current stars look silly with fakes and skills. When it comes to one on one, one on one skills is > anything. So imagine a prime Jordan vs Lebron one on one. One on one is different than 5 on 5.

[funnystuff]

Lebron probably.

[TheMan]

Curious how the only posters picking LeBron are the known Bron stans like the OP, Silkk, TrollSmasher, FunnyStuff, Plowking, zoom17 etc. while everyone else whether they are MJ stans or not pick Jordan.:bowdown:

Jordan wins, he's simply the superior skilled player. Jordan wouldn't struggle against the likes of Diaw, Kidd or Marion...

There's a vid on YouTube where Bruce Bowen says Jordan was the toughest guy he ever defended against and it was a past prime Jordan. Mind you, Bowen guarded prime Kobe and athletic peak LeBron. I'll take his opinion 100000000 times over internet nerds like Plowking:oldlol:

MJ and it is not even close.

There is one thing Bron does better than MJ and that is passing. That`s not going to help him here lol.

Everything else is MJ by a country mile.

He would get inside Bron`s head very quickly.

MJ would smoke past Bron for a varity of dunks, and drain jumpers all day.

Prime Jordan, are you kidding me, that guy is GOAT.

Bron aint got no worries or post moves so forget about posting MJ up.

MJ would embarrass Bron, for sure. :bowdown:

this!! was there anybody craftier than prime MJ. Lebrons footwork is not that special

how is a 6'5 man going to stop a 6'8 athletic freak, who has some 50-60 pounds on him anyway?:lol Jordan would have to resort to dirty plays and hope that Lebron somehow freaks out and chokes again. Otherwise, a smaller dude is always doomed

Does Dirk have the speed of LeBron? The strength? Can Dirk cross LeBron over and drive to the rim atleast 5 times? Is Dirk the defender LeBron is?

Just incase your're slow, the answer is no.

how come lebron never defended dirk in the finals? its not as if he was conserving his energy for offense. he was busy getting lit up by terry and marion. the myth that lebron can guard all 5 positions.

dirk would beat lebron in a 1 on 1 as well. that jumper is wet :rockon:

In a 1 v 1, Dirk let's Bron have all the jumpers he wants, if Bron goes into the post, Dirk will swat Bron's bad footwork goofy shots...Dirk can beat you from outside and in the post.

Pippen and LeBron 1 v 1 is a better matchup.

Jordan would shit on LeBron 1 v 1 overall, the majority of the time. MJ v.s. Kobe is the more interesting and competitive matchup. They're similar. The hardest player to defend is ironically the one most like yourself.

Pippen and LeBron share similar body types, skill sets, and mentality. More intriguing matchup, IMO.

:biggums:


Looks like you've never played pick up 1 v 1 basketball in your life so I'll give you a couple of defensive tips to enlighten you. I'll make it simple so you can keep up.

When you have two players, one is smaller and quicker, in this case LeBron, and a taller and slower player (Dirk), it is retarded for the big (Dirk) to go out and challenge the small (LBJ) player out on the perimeter because in one move LeBron can go past Dirk for an uncontested shot at the rim, so all Dirk has to do is let LeBron have all the jumpers to his little heart's content because LeBron, as we saw in the Finals, does not have a consistent jump shot. San Antonio let Bron shoot all the jumpers he wanted and his shot was off for basically every game except a couple. Dirk just sits there in the lane and if Bron wants to attack the rim for dunks, he'd basically would need to bull Dirk over and it's an easy offensive foul. Are you keeping up? That's why some of Miami's more productive line ups conaisted of LeBron with 4 shooters to create space and take away the defense' ability to have their bigs clogging the lane. In a 1 v 1,Dirk stays all the time within a few feet in front of the rim forcing James to either his flat footed post up game against a 7 footer or shoot mid range jumpshots (which we know LeBron can go cold for long stretches). Now if it was Dirk vs prime MJ, Dirk would have to kind of challenge MJ in the perimeter because, well, MJ can actually hit a jumper:bowdown:

Basketball 101, mate...you can thank me now.

PS, stick to soccer, you're clueless.

[grantz]

I see more athletic players lose to more skilled players all of the time one on one.


See some mid aged white folk break down college kids with fundamentals.


If athleticism is the your only argument for LeBron beating Jordan, LeBron it's not gifted enough defensively to guard every position Jordan can score from. LeBron is not a gifted enough scorer to beat the most prolific scorer in nba history.


Being a Stan is fine and all, but don't get ahead of yourself.

For whatever reason, Lebron sucked in that series. It's well established. But the myth that Dirk had this monster series and single-handedly beat the Heat is too wide-spread for me to ignore it. These were Dirk's stats: 26/9.7 on 41.6%. That's pretty mediocre, especially when you compare him to Wade's performance in those Finals. Even compared to Lebron, those stats are hardly GOAT worthy.
