Who would win in a one-on-one game between Kobe and LeBron?

If Kobe and LeBron play, we all win (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=5680638)
By Rick Reilly
ESPN.com

If you have the correct answer to the following question, you can be part of the largest pay-per-view sporting event in American history: Who would win in a one-on-one game between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James?

Kobe Bryant (in London last week): I'd win. That's what I do. One-on-one -- that's easy for me. One-on-one is how I grew up playing. It's, like, my thing. LeBron is more like a Magic Johnson. He's a great passer and plays an all-around game. At the core of me, I'm a one-on-one player. I'd do that in my sleep.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban: It depends on the rules. Is it, "no blood, no foul"?

Yes, the players would call their own fouls. There would be no referee. Who uses refs in one-on-one?

Cuban: Then I take LeBron. He's too big. Regular refs, I take Kobe.

Note: James is 2 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Bryant.

Cuban: Because if you let them call their own fouls, then the audience gets to make their own judgments, and that makes it more interesting.

Yes, they'd call their own fouls. So how much would you pay for Bryant versus James on your HDNet?

Cuban: A lot.

Denver Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups: I think Kobe is probably a better one-on-one player, but just in a one-on-one game, I think Bron is probably too big and strong. So Bron would probably win.

Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony: [laughs] I have no clue, man. It'd be a good game, though.

Note: James and Anthony are about the same size, and Anthony has fared well one-on-one versus Bryant.

ABA/NBA legend Rick Barry: I'd say Kobe would beat him. Kobe has more moves. And Kobe's the better shooter. LeBron might beat him in one game, if LeBron got hot with outside shooting. Would there be "three seconds"?

There would be no ref, so it would be up to the players to call three seconds. And in the entire history of one-on-one basketball, nobody has ever been weenie enough to call three seconds.

Barry: Well, then, Kobe would be in trouble. Because LeBron's a beast.

Isn't it true that you played one-on-one versus George "Iceman" Gervin at Trump's hotel in Atlantic City?

Barry: Yeah, George edged me, but I was sick. And Kareem played Dr. J and beat him. J never could shoot from the outside.

Former L.A. Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy: I'd pick Kobe because of his shooting and defending. He moves his feet better. He'd force LeBron to shoot from the outside. LeBron's a freight train in the open court, but there wouldn't be any open court.

Note: Bryant and James have played head-to-head 13 times. In those games, James has outscored Bryant eight times and beaten Kobe's team eight times.

Former NBA star Jalen Rose: Kobe Bryant is one of the all-time greats, but beating LBJ at one-on-one after a summer of knee surgery while heading into his 15th year ... I don't think so!

Note: Bryant is 32 years old. James is 25. Bryant is coming off arthroscopic surgery to his right knee in July.

Trainer Tim Grover (Attack Athletics in Chicago), who has trained Bryant, James and Michael Jordan: Hard to say. Kobe could back LeBron down, too. He's that strong. Don't put me in this spot. I'm not picking.

How about Jordan versus either man?

Grover: Oh, Michael. No question. From a physical and mental standpoint, he's the best I've ever seen. If he were playing now, with the way the refs call everything, and with all the padding these guys wear, he'd average 40 or 50 a night if he wanted.

Saint Louis University coach Rick Majerus: If there's no ref, then I pick LeBron. He's bigger, stronger and longer. Kobe would brace up and get more charges, but who calls charges in one-on-one? LeBron's length will bother Kobe, too. He'll block shots from behind. He's got that huge tight end body.

If there's a ref, I pick Kobe because he's relentless and because of his heart. Kobe wouldn't take a possession off. LeBron might. LeBron doesn't always treat the game with the seriousness and determination that Kobe does. Kobe is the ultimate in efficiency. He has the most beautiful economy of motion.

People! No refs! Sheeesh.

Steve in Los Angeles: Would there be 3-pointers?

Yes. And although both players shoot about the same from the field (Bryant shoots 45.5 percent, James 47.5 percent), Bryant is the better 3-point shooter -- 34 percent to James' 32.9 percent. Slight advantage to Kobe.

Note: In the Nike ad with the puppets, LeBron seems to get the best of Kobe.

Bill P. from Denver: Would it be make-it-take-it or alternating possessions?

Oh. My. God. Make it take it! Who plays alternating possessions in one-on-one? Where are you from, Sweden?

Bill P.: Then I pick Kobe because he'd get hot and never give the ball back. But if it's alternating possessions, then I'd pick LeBron. Kobe would get tired out having to guard the larger man every other time.

Note: In a recent Slamonline.com poll, readers picked Bryant 71 percent to 29 percent.

Former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy: I have no idea of who would win, but this is exactly what the All-Star Game needs. Forget the dunk contest, the rookie-sophomore game, the skills challenge, the 3-point thing, give us Kobe and LeBron to 21 and they call their own fouls. Get sponsorship and give money to charity. You have to get this done!

Sorry, the money is much bigger with PPV. Besides, I already called the NBA, and the league wouldn't bite on it.

Kevin Grigg, Detroit Pistons media guy: Do you have to win by two?

Yes, you must win by two. Because of the higher point value for baskets, the games would be to 35. Best of five. Coin flip to determine who gets the ball first, then winner gets ball out each game thereafter.

Grigg: In that case, the game might never end.

The one-on-one show's undercard would be:

Steve Nash versus Chris Paul
Shaquille O'Neal versus Nate Robinson
Kevin Durant versus Carmelo Anthony
Jordan versus Magic

Dunleavy: Man, I'd pay to see that.

Which is what we're counting on.

Consider that both players are fans of the Boys & Girls Club of America. In fact, when LeBron announced his decision to play for the Miami Heat, he sold it as a fundraiser and made them more than $2 million. That would be couch-cushion change compared to this.

At $50 per head, 5 million viewers would produce $250 million. If the average cost of building a Boys & Girls Club is $10 million, the proceeds would build 25 clubs around the country.

So the answer to the question: Who would win in a one-on-one game between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James? It's neither Kobe nor LeBron … it's kids. July 4, 2011, work for you two?

[Muser]

This will be fun

[ohmwrecker]

Do you really think those two egomaniacs would ever agree to this?

[HeatTheBestEver]

nigga my nigga LeBron would murk that rapist,

[Ace]

Lebron would never embarrass Kobe like that.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lebron would be afraid to accept the challenge.

but if the game were to benefit the BGCA I'm sure LeBron would be onboard in a second...remember, it's all about the children :cry:cry:cry

[dunkman]

Lebron would be afraid to accept the challenge.

While the Cavs lacked more talent around LeBron and better coaching to contend in the playoffs, keep in mind that he took 2 MVP's and various NBA records from Kobe.

LeBron responded convincingly with 52 points and 1 rebound away from a triple double when Kobe challenged him with 61 points against the Knicks at MSG. Kobe picked one of his best games for the challenge while LeBron had the pressure to beat him in the next game.

Which he did.

[TheMACHINE]

Yup..Kobe's been waiting 3 years in the Finals for Lebron but Lebron wont meet him.

Maybe Lebron should just do something for fun like a slam dunk contest..oh nevermind..he doesnt want to accept that either.

oh well.

beat me to it ...... other than that one dunk he always does, what's spectacular about his dunks?? He's a great in game dunker but I think the contest isn't his thing.

[Koolaid_Man]

Yep the nigga just like Shannon...Shanfool Brown... great during games but a thud during the official competition and that's why he'll never compete...Lebuns won't do anything to damage his rep if he fails that's why he'll never challenge Kobe 1:1 even if Kobe done already lay down the gauntlet and challenged his manhood. In fact it's almost unprecedented for the Leagues STAR (Upper Case) to openly say he'll whip another star's (lower case) ass..point blank to the world..and Kobe didn't bat an eye nor did he mince words..He said redacted "I'll straight kick that Niggas ass why you even asking me this bullshit. Aye that nigga know where to find me."

and what did you hear from Lebron....

fucking crickets...:lol

This is a sign of how bitch made the heat players really are to their core...they pussies man...you think Kobe would have let Lebron get away with saying some shit like this about him...Kobe disrespected this punk so bad he even said man I'd even kick his fucking ass in my sleep. :lol some cold shit.

In fact let me prove how bitch made they are..I've already proven the bitchness of Wade and Lebron...now let me focus on Bosh...How many niggas you know will let someone do this to them on the court...A Gasol no less...now I'm not as concerned with the hit than I am Bosh's reaction...:lmao

Lol prove? I'm still waiting for you to do that on anything you post. So Kool, I'm wondering the reason behind the hate for the Heat? They haven't played the Lakers once but you make seem like they already ended their run. Is it you already know the inevitable or just insecurity?

Son you need to worry about getting out of your own conference before even mentioning LA...last I checked Boston was the defending EC champs and they still have MASSIVE advantages in the paint against your paper thin front line. Rondo is going to murder whatever garbage you throw out at PG too (unless of course Wade plays the 1 instead of 2).

[DeadlyDynasty]

btw, nice brick on the dunk by Bosh just now

[Ditty]

if Kobe was in his prime, I would maybe take him slightly because Kobe is a better shooter. Right now I would take Lebron though

[Giuseppe]

If James would refrain from shitting himself---and/or---playing it off he'd win.

James is scared though. It's just his way, his mental make-up.

:lol The Celtics were 23rd in the NBA in points in the paint last year, so they won't have an offensive advantage in the paint at all..their defensive advantage in the paint is massive, but they're going up against 3 of the best foul drawers in the NBA, and they'll have to find a way to stay healthy, which is far from a given..

Rondo doesn't usually shoot a high % against Miami, IIRC, I could be wrong though..



For those saying Kobe is a better shooter, it depends..he's definitely better as a mid-range shooter, but Lebron is definitely better as a long-range shooter at this point..

Laker fans keep saying Boston has this big advantage in the paint like either O'neals or Perkins are all the sudden an offensive beast. One thing I'm beginning to notice is Laker fans on this board make all kinds of claims like they know what they are talking about but have to see one post any kind of real numbers backing them. Then once numbers are posted they're nowhere to be found.

Laker fans don't need advanced stats and "numbers" to evaluate talent or teams. We know basketball. We know WINNING. We have lived through what it takes. Stats while useful only tell a small portion of the game. Any real player, coach, or fan knows this.

The haters love tossing the numbers out because it's all they have. It's their crutch. After all the Lakers can't be that good... they shoot a poor %, their personal PER's aren't close to to the others greats, etc as if somehow that diminishes the title.

So toss out all the numbers you wish if that soothes your pain. The Laker organization, players, and fans know the game and their is really only 3 numbers that count.

The Celtics 17

and our destiny.... 18+

Keep on holding tight Luva.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol In all honesty, how many Laker fans are still going to be here in July?..I'd be surprised if it's more than 5..

Ashy Larry, Venti, IronMexi, BadOdor will still be here..Medvedenko might stick around, just to complain about the quality of the NBA forum..

[cobbler]

If you honor your promise, which nobody here believes, you will never know.

[Jelloisjigglin]

I would say a lot. Unfortunately, they'll be a lot more Laker trolls here after the 3peat.

[Ace]

:lol In all honesty, how many Laker fans are still going to be here in July?..

If Luva can hold on tight he will. Other than that, I can see most Laker fans all sudden losing interest in posting here.

[HarlemHeat37]

My promise stands, I won't lie..I even said I would give my medal away to a lucky poster, which is a historic announcement..

[HarlemHeat37]

There's absolutely no chance that Luva will be here in July..I would be absolutely shocked..same with Blessings, Kool, Gobbler, LkrFan, Quit Hating, PGDynasty, TheNextGen, RSXPimp and the many other shitty Laker fans here that I can't remember right now(not all, but most)..

[HarlemHeat37]

This will be different though..

- Lakers had years left following the Boston series..
- A loss here would be to Lebron, which Laker fans wouldn't be able to stomach..
- The 3 Kings are all in their primes, Miami is only going to get better..

Realistically, this will be the last year where the Lakers will be favored or equally favored to win the title..

[Giuseppe]

..and Artest will implode this time.

tee, hee.

[HarlemHeat37]

I never said Artest would implode, in fact, I said I'd be surprised if he did..Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher wouldn't allow it..

I said he'd be a downgrade from Ariza, and I was correct..

[Giuseppe]

I said he'd be a downgrade from Ariza, and I was correct..

[cobbler]

I never said Artest would implode, in fact, I said I'd be surprised if he did..Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher wouldn't allow it..

I said he'd be a downgrade from Ariza, and I was correct..

While you were gargling Lebrons balls all last year and jumping on every bandwagon after his quit job, all we ever said was our boys would ring again. You posted stats after stats degrading everything Lakers and all we said was watch the boys win another.

Artest was in no way shape or form a downgrade over Ariza. He fit the bill perfectly last year.

When all was said and done.... you had posts and posts of numbers that failed to predict what we simply said was going to happen all along... the most QUANTIFIABLE number of them all.... 16.

[Eric Dampier]

the most QUANTIFIABLE number of them all.....16

what does that even mean? Elaborate, tbh

[daspurs]

Now who the fuck is this lil new booty. When have we not been fucking relevant? Thirty finals appearances, 16 titles, and God knows how many "what if's." We're either winning the title. losing it, or preparing to get there. Back the fuck up off us.

Been here longer than you fuckin kobe bryant cock sucker

That's how many functioning legs I have.

[cobbler]

Preach...Preach!!! You see these lame fucks think you can crunch numbers and out comes a title. They never figured that Fish would leave em dead in game three. They never figured Artest would perform magic and make PP disappear. They never figured Kobe would grab 15. They never figured Vuj would lick his index fingers, slick those brows, and brush that hair back, and calmly sink two to seal it.

Luva... we know these things. There are great players and great organizations throughout the NBA. There are thousands of players that have come through the ranks and put up considerable and often great "numbers". NBA history is riddled with them. We know these things.. We lived it through the West/Baylor years. I never went away from a season saying it was a great year because West won the scoring title, shooting %, or MVP. They lost and it was painful. The MVP, MVP of the finals, scoring title, or any other trinket the NBA passes out along with these quantifiable stats that are tossed around with such pride are meaningless without the title. Mere icing without the cake.

You can take and manipulate all the cells on the excell sheet however you flippen want. Amoungst those numbers, scattered at all levels, are winners and losers.

We know these things. And they just never get it. Boggles the mind...

and the banner gets prepared...

Even before I found out that cobbler was handicapped he was always the faggotiest poster on the board. Even as a Laker fan, he'd rarely post but when he did he stuck out like a sore thumb, and that's saying a lot considering we've gone through D&C, House, Blessings, and lakaluva.

A troll post deserves a troll response, imo.

What's funny to me is that both of those guys would get their asses kicked by either Pau Gasol or Tim Duncan.

This has been 3 times already. Bob Lanier killed Jojo White. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar killed Dr. J. And Bo Kimble beat Gary Payton...okay the last one doesn't apply. But still, I had Bob Lanier tell me, in person, that bigs that can handle the ball will always win because they just use their post up skills to back down the smaller player and then get their shot off.
You can say that Bean is too fast, or that LeBron is too athletic, but Bob told many of us that day that, eventually, being taller will give you the advantage. He also said this,"Tim Duncan would beat Bean...EASILY enough." It's because he can shoot outside and in, but prefers to go inside and take a better shot.

But still, I had Bob Lanier tell me, in person, that bigs that can handle the ball will always win because they just use their post up skills to back down the smaller player and then get their shot off.
You can say that Bean is too fast, or that LeBron is too athletic, but Bob told many of us that day that, eventually, being taller will give you the advantage. He also said this,"Tim Duncan would beat Bean...EASILY enough." It's because he can shoot outside and in, but prefers to go inside and take a better shot.


I agree. It's why Wilt is my GOAT. No way anyone could take him in a one on one game. Ever.

I get the feeling that there are some knob-gobbling know-it-alls who will disagree with you.

Some guy tried to get Bob to back the smaller players but Bob vehemently said that if the big is skilled, can handle the ball well, and shoot to 12 feet...that's almost a guaranteed win.

He'll get destroyed by a prime Shaq and of course, a prime Hakeem

Hakeem, That's a game. But for Shaq...these games are 1 on 1 and reffed. So officially, since his ball handling skills are pretty limited, he's vulnerable. Wilt Chamberlain once led the league in assists and his dribbling skills are vastly underrated. Plus. at 7'1 and a solid 275 lbs, it's not like Wilt was SMALL.

Kobe would win because he would just keep shooting while LeBron was holding a press conference to explain his decision to Jim Grey as to why he decided to play Kobe one on one….

Do you talk to your dad before or after you buy gifts for your mom.

PS - seeing that you know your dad, you obviously ain't no real hood nigga.

i think Lebron takes it. his combo of speed AND power would be too much. he'd just bull Kobe out of the way time and time and time again. plus, i think he'd block more of Kobe's shots than the other way around.

[Steve Kerr]

What a wonderful vanilla post.

"I think lebron will win because det boy is strong!"

[ezau]

I think it's going to be close. Kobe will give Lebron fits because he'll just use tons of pump fakes to make an insane amount of jumpshots. Lebron meanwhile will surely use his weight and power to drive to the hoop. I would still give this one to Kobe because he has always been know to be one-on-one player than anything else. Kobe's default mode is to go one-on-one and that's something that Lebron isn't.
