a nice re-vist....LOL @ TMAC
Who would you most like to play one-on-one, either active or retired?
Jordan. No question.
What would happen?
I’m not sure, but he would win some and I would win some in a seven-game series. It would probably come down to the last few shots
You versus LeBron? Who wins?
Me. No question. As far as one-on-one, I’m the best to ever do it.
Damn. That’s pretty confident.
LeBron is a terrific all-around, five-on-five basketball player who’s an all-time great. But I’d get him.
Who could get you?
Kevin Durant is the guy that would give me the most trouble. With his length and ability to use the dribble he’d be tough.
I always wanted to see you play Tracy McGrady.
I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball everyday. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore.
His back bothered him for most of his career.
Well, now you know.
What about Kyrie Irving?
[Huge smile, laugh.] Kyrie’s my boy, but he knows he doesn’t have anything for me. He doesn’t want to see me. But it would be fun. I’ve beaten a lot of guys one-on-one, like Reggie Miller and Grant Hill. I used to play Caron Butler all the time in practice when he was with the Lakers. When I was a rookie I used to get Nick van Exel and Eddie Jones. They know. They’ll tell you. They used to come at me hard but I wasn’t having that. I love going one-on-one with someone. That’s what I do. I’ve never lost. It’s a whole different game, just to have them right in front you and be able to do whatever you want.
is about as relevant as Allen Iverson.
Unfortunately for the quitbag, the NBA is 5-on-5As far as one-on-one, I’m the best to ever do it.
And this just supports a thread I started saying Kobrick isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He thinks he can play to the age of 40 like MJ and wants to catch Kareem for All Time points record. Barring a career ending injury...even if he's averaging 17-20 points/gm after his new contract runs out...he's gonna go for another contract from the Lakers and they will give it to him.
This is my all-time favorite Kobe quote..even better than Kobe trolling Duncan by telling him he has more rings...this is is sig line worthy...
- Kobe on playing Tmac 1 on 1"I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you"
