[QUOTE=pauk]I have.... for my entire life... and i have NEVER been able to beat a basketball player who has more everything combination of size, power, speed, quickness, vertical than me.... if you can beat a player like that HE IS ONE LOUSY MOTHER****ER OR A HUMAN THAT JUST PICKED UP A BASKETBALL.........
it doesnt matter how good you are.... here is how it looks like when you play a decent player that happens to have such a combination of bigger size than you while having better speed & vertical, power and everything..........
[B]OFFENSIVELY[/B]
EVEN IF YOU GET BY HIM = a player like that will just time a chasedown block on you from behind.... so you have to either stop and do a HEADFAKE (or a series of them) and pray to god he goes up or go do a circus shot and pray to god it goes in.......... because certainly you cant bail out pass to any of your teammates in that situation......... because there is no teammates...
EVEN IF YOU GET UP A SHOT = (without getting blocked) its very hard contested and you will have to make sure those shots go in.......... if you dont... he will 100% guaranteed get the rebound.......... some quick dribble move and a hard stepback jumper will be your easiest attempt at making the basket..... but still hard...
[b]DEFENSIVELY[/b]
FORGET IT.... OK? FORGET IT......... he will either =
A] Back you down all the way under the hoop and lay it in over and over... there is nothing you can do against that power and size....... and there is no teammate to help you out...
B] He can get by you aswell... and i can guarantee you cant get up and block that windmill he is about to make.... or a 360... or a god damn east bay between the legs alley oop....
you will be just a ragdoll..... AND GUESS WHAT... THERE IS NO TEAMMATE THAT CAN BUILD A WALL AROUND HIM AND TAKE CHARGES UNDER THE RIM EITHER.... AND THERE IS NO REFF EITHER...
[SIZE="4"]LEBRON WOULD HUMILIATE KOBE 1 ON 1 IF KOBE DOESNT MAKE ALL HIS STEPBACK FADEAWAY TOUGH CIRCUS SHOTS[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
Funny thing is, this guy looks like he's had more experience playing 1 on 1 then anybody else in this thread. ISO play in a regulation game is not the same as a 1 on 1 game to 21. There are no defenders to help defend or rebound the ball and ball/head fakes will only work a few times.
I'm laughing at those saying "Prime Kobe would kill LeBron". Why is that? He's the same player now as he was in 05. The only difference is he had the ultimate greenlight and had more bounce in his step. His 1 on 1 game is the same. Against someone longer, taller, stronger, and more athletic, anyone is gonna have trouble scoring buckets.
So prime Kobe is taller than current Kobe? Dont think so. Lebron would block the hell out of Kobe, so Kobe would have to be shooting lights out with Lebrons hand in his face which wont be happening. Lebron can also post up, even though it isnt his strength it would still work due to the difference in stature. Guys above me speak the truth.
[QUOTE=ForeverHeat] Lebron can also post up[/QUOTE]
:oldlol:
Oh shut the hell up .. oh my ****ing god..
[QUOTE]Lebron is taller, more athletic and more powerful. He can also jump higher, block harder and drive alot more. When Lebron is running at the rim, there is no one man in the world who can stop him, including Kobe. But when Kobe drives, Lebron could occasionally get the block or use his body mass to get Kobe off balance mid air. Kobe would have to be shooting lights out, but that is unlikely given Lebrons length which would bother Kobe alot imo. I just dont see how Kobe fans can claim he would defeat Lebron James one on one.[/QUOTE]
Adam Morrison = 2 RINGS.
LeBron's physically bigger and could just foul the shit outta Kobe
If they're playing rough, probably LeBron
But then again I wouldn't count Kobe out. His game is built on ISOs. Should be a close one.
Kobe is quicker than LeBron, more agile with better lateral speed. Are you ISHiots serious?

Holy crap. Are u kidding me? 05 Kobe is [I]significantly[/I] quicker, faster, more explosive and gets A LOT more elevation on his jumper than the 2011 version.
:facepalm

No shit. I, unlike yourself, have watched Kobe from start to finish. I think I have a good idea of what his game looked like 6 years ago. Furthermore, when I say "more bounce in his step", speed and explosiveness is what I'm talking about.
