LeBron would beat Kobe One on One

[ForeverHeat]

In a game to 21, Lebron would undoubtedly defeat Kobe.

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.

Discuss.

Have you ever played a game of 1 on 1 basketball ever in your life? I repeatedly beat players who are bigger stronger and faster than me in the gym. I'm not talking about a huge discrepancy here but then again the discrepancy isn't exactly huge when it comes to kobe and lebron. It's called wanting to kill your opponent. Something you and Lebron never learned, not even from Wade.

[Kobe 4 The Win]

Yeah, it's too bad they don't give out the Larry O'brien trophy for games of one on one.

Those guys had a big advantage on you, but you made up for it in skill. Kobes skill is no where near the level where it would offset Lebrons skill and his already big physical advantage

Yeah, too bad the NBA is a 5 on 5 game. I don't see the point of this thread but Prime Kobe would definitely beat current LeBron in a 1 on 1 game.

Yeah, that's exactly right. The GOAT Jordan averaged about 6 asists per game and Kobe is way behind at about 5 per game. Such a huge difference I don't know how he sleeps at night?

That's my point though.. I didn't really have that much of an advantage over some of my opponents in skill either, when it comes down to it your instinct will carry you the farthest. I believe that is the reason why people compare Sports to Warfare, because they draw that parallel between each other.

Think about it this way.

Lebron's athleticism > Kobe's

Kobe's skill > Lebron's

the tiebreaker then is obviously Kobe's killer instinct, who many people even in the mainstream media say is the obvious difference between the two.

Lebron cant dribble past bigs one on one let alone a SG, he has absolutley no moves to create space, and he has to be hot already to consistantly hit jumpers, Bron would get killed one on one. You have no basketball knowlege thinking Bron can beat any great perimeter player one on one, this is where your ballhandling skills come into play the most. With complete clear outs Bron cant get past 7 footers without a pick, do yall seriously think he could blow past Kobe even though he has no dribble moves to do so, nygga please.

yah lebron would just blow by...

[artificial]

Maybe, but we'll never know for sure. Your point?

[Stuckey]

lebron could go to the hole every time, get his offensive rebounds

or he could just back kobe down for 15 seconds then lay it or dunk it

[AMISTILLILL]

Superman would beat Batman.
Paper covers rock.
Rock beats scissors.
Van Halen beats Van Hagar.
