20 NBA Players Who Could Beat LeBron James 1-on-1...do you agree?

[S2J]

9. Chris Paul may be pound-for-pound the toughest player in the NBA. He also might be the most clutch player in the league. Combine that with his quickness and court-awareness and he becomes a nightmare for anyone in a one-on-one situation. He might be a pass-first point guard, but he has shown he can take over a game and score at will. That makes him a dangerous opponent even for LeBron.

10. Stephen Curry is another one of those guys that can just shoot from anywhere. He hits threes for fun and has good quickness off the dribble. He also has some pretty silky footwork under the rim and can make defenders bite on any number of ball-fakes, head-fakes and jab-steps.

11. Dwight Howard might be the only guy on this list who is actually stronger than LeBron. He has the size advantage too at 6'11" and would be able to take LeBron into the post without sentencing himself to defeat. Howard's defense is top notch also, he might actually be the only guy on this list that could think about beating James with his D.

12. Jamal Crawford is as polished a scorer as they come. He's been a Sixth Man Of The Year winner precisely because of his incredible ability to generate ludicrous amounts of offense off the bench in limited minutes. While that doesn't guarantee him victory in this type of game, it definitely leaves him in with a shout.

13. Kevin Love is a little taller than LeBron, is an elite rebounder and can shoot all the way out to the 3-point arc. He'll smother any loose balls or missed shots and he can make you pay with his own smooth offensive game. Much like Dirk Nowitzki, Love's height and quick release on the J help neutralize LeBron's defensive prowess.

14. Deron Williams is a tough point guard who plays very unselfish basketball. But he grew up shooting from crazy distances in his back yard, and as a result he has a lethal weapon for this game. He's quick enough to get to the rim, but if he starts heating up from mid-range or outside, he becomes very dangerous.

Soooo these nggas aint never gon be on defense, huh

Its pretty embarasing to co-sign this list.

Its proof that

1)....'Yall dont hoop'-s2j

2) Might be a dreaded 'casual fan' to not realize Lebron looks bad in iso's a lot bc the help defense can crowd his lanes.

But in 1 on 1? Tha fuk is curry, paul, crawford, etc, etc gonna do w/ 250lb Bron with no help defense? Git this list outta here.

If you don't think people like Curry (who can catch fire at any minute) can beat LeBron at least 1 time out of 10 (which is what this thread is about), I think it's safe to say YOU don't hoop.

1v1 games where I'm from is loser's ball... I score, now you get the ball and it's your turn.

If you truly did hoop, you would know that NO ONE plays to their strengths at all times. You guys are going through pointless simulations in your head acting as if you KNOW what each player is going to do.

If you did hoop, you would understand that some people, no matter how wack they are in a real game, are just great 1v1 players and sometimes that rule applies the other way. Some really good 5v5 players suck in 1v1. We've all lost or had a close game against someone we're way better than.

SN: For everyone that can't comprehend well, this article/thread was written by a LeBron stan. He already assumes that LeBron CAN beat everyone in the league more times than not. The list is a list of players who LeBron wouldn't beat 100% of the time.

KD, Melo, Kobe in his prime, Curry, Harden and CP3, that's it.

No, no, YOU dont hoop! Lol

What purpose would there be to have a list of guys who could beat him 1 out of 10!??! I'd logically assume they menat go back n forth w/ him, able to be almost his equal in temrs of 1 on 1

1/10 implies

1) That Lebron, or any player, is THAT good that beating him only once out of 10 is a huge feat. Its not, bc again, 1 on 1 is a different monster

2) If 1/10 is the barometer, there's dozens of NBA players who could pull that.

So maybe this is directed at the writer of the article,b/c only a lay fan wouldnt know that there's guys on the bench in the NBA who could kill in 1 on 1. And yes, beat Lebron '1 out of 10. '

I agree that the premise is stupid because LeBron is not that kind of player. Like you said, there are bunch of players that can't beat LeBron 1v1, 1 or 2 times out of 10.

I think the writer was trying to put LeBron up there with a prime MJ or Kobe, in which I and most people believe those guys would beat a vast majority of the NBA players in their era of dominance, 100% of the time in a literal sense. I'm talking 100 out of 100, 1000 out of 1000 times etc. because they were just that good.

Obviously if the writer was talking about who can beat LeBron more than LeBron can beat them, then the list is way off. There's only a handful of players that even make sense for that kind of feat.

LeBron could never stay in front of CP3 AND CP3 tries his absolute hardest every time. CP3 would definitely take a few wins away from LeBron off of heart and aggression alone.
