Which top SF would Lebron win in a game of 1v1?

[Mass Debator]

2s and 1s
Make it take it from the top of the key
1 free throw for a shooting foul
Regular NBA rules apply (travel, carry, 5 seconds, etc)
3 games to 11
Flopping = auto ejection (jk)

- Kevin Durant
- Carmelo Anthony
- Paul George
- Kawhi Leonard
- Rudy Gay

Carmelo and Durant would both beat him 1-on-1. He would beat the rest.

[Fudge]

Durant would absolutely destroy him 1 on 1.

Still iffy on PG. Melo seems to always play out of his mind against Bron, so there's that.

[Jlamb47]

Rudy Gay :facepalm
PG and Kawi play good defense but i see Lebron outscoring and beating them
Carmelo VS Lebron could really go either way, depending whose hot
I see KD beating Lebron 1 on 1

[SOD 21]

Kevin Durant would win easily and a slight advantage to Carmelo over Lebron. I don't think the other players listed would have a chance to beat him with any consistency.

it's hard to tell

i imagine if elite nba players of that caliber were to face each other 1v1 and actually tried as hard as possible they would all struggle to score on the other, i think a game to 10 would last ages...

[SamuraiSWISH]

Anyone can get beat in one on one. It's not difficult.

[ZMonkey11]

I'll have to agree that the competition would be Durant and Melo.

[BuffaloBill]

I feel like PG would give current Lebron a run for his money. He's super athletic, deep deep range, great defense.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

It's 1 on 1, anything can happen. LeBron has the upper hand against most of them, but overall I expect him to lose on any given night.

[JohnMax]

Tobias Harris would beat him as long as he doesn't talk trash

[stalkerforlife]

Kyle Singler would beat him...

Just watch the tape of last night.

[imdaman99]

I'd expect Melo to beat them all. 1 on 1 he usually eats both Durant and bran alive.

Actually, it's quite the opposite. The problem isn't gonna be if a player can score. It's gonna be if he can stop the other from scoring enough or if you can toy with another's emotions.

Lebron's gonna drive and get fouled a lot. It's up to him to make his free throws. His other way of scoring will be in the post. He's gotta get comfortable down there real quick or else I see him struggling.

If his shot is falling, he'd take anyone quite easily except for Durant and Melo. Those two will always be competitive.

I see Paul George putting up a great fight. 50-50 here for me

I see Rudy Gay able to steal 1. He's more fearless and a better shooter. Lebron's goal is to make him become a driver. No way will I put money on Rudy taking a series though.

The Kawhi challenge will probably be entertaining because Lebron would probably get frustrated as hell having to work so hard. In the end, the score will always be like 11-8 or 11-7 Lebron.

Lebron's gonna drive and get fouled a lot. It's up to him to make his free throws.

If fouls are called like in 1v1 tournament, ie, never a foul unless it's a flagran, then no. If someone like Kawai can lock defense someone and have him miss more than half his shots, how much better can he be when he is 100% sure the guy he's marking is going to be the one shooting the basket?
