Olajuwon: NBA 1-on-1 Tournament Champion

[Living Being]

If there was a 1-on-1 tournament with all of the best NBA players, I think he would win. No one has his combination of size, speed, agility, shooting touch (fadeaways, layups, etc), handles, and defense (blocks and steals).

Who could beat him?

[Uncle Drew]

40 year old Kareem could.

[Fudge]

Durant or LeBron.

[Living Being]

Durant or LeBron.
:oldlol: LeBron has no one-on-one skills offensively. Also, are you saying he's a better defender than Rodman?

Durant is too weak.

[Fudge]

Durant and LeBron would be way too much for poor Hakeem.

On both ends.

[NBAGOAT]

shaq or kareem could.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

One on One competitions require a lot of ballhandling. Even if Hakeem grabs the missed rebound from a shot he would have to dribble out to the 3 point line.....

I think guys who are small forwards/quick power forwards with range/ballhandling would perform quite well against centers.

And it would also depend on who gets the ball first as well.

[TheReal Kendall]

Mj or Melo

OP is correct. Dream wins.

A couple of people could. Mj, kobe, Shaq, maybe even Prime Duncan. Kemp destroyed him in his prime. Not to mention Kareem and I feel Bird would do good.

KG beat everyone in his Dream Team stint.

He's the only one that could consistently defend everyone and is more than skilled offensively to score on them.

[Old Man River]

Tallest guys that can dribble and play perimeter d. Olojuwon or Garnett.
