Could Kobe beat LeBron 1-on-1? Kobe: "No question. As far as one-on-one, I’m the best to ever do it."

Late AND bleacherreport.. nice

I just don't see how Kobe could stop LeBron from scoring. And on the other end, LeBron's size and length would overwhelm him.

What does that have to do with one-on one?



No,he couldn't beat Lebron right now,maybe if he was 4-5 younger but not now....but to bring up GAME Stats to prove a point(which involve transition plays,screens,etc) is just (Please Use More Appropriate Word)

Convenient how they add up to 25.

Lebron in the post. Game over.

I don't really get what Kobe thinks here. Lebron is bigger, he's more athletic, and just as good a defender (I'm assuming we're talking prime Kobe as the current version has no business in this discussion).

No way lol.

I think he's a top one on one guy and he'd probably beat any guard, but LeBron's just a terrible match up for him.

It'd be very tough for him to score on LeBron... Not to mention defend him lmao.

LBJ is not on Kobe's level. I don't even think LBJ could be Melo one on one.

Melo has a much better chance against LeBron IMO.

Melo the only player with the size, handles and strength.. Durant has length over Lebron but Lebron would dominate him completely.. same with Kobe.. kobe probably has more offensive moves but Lebron would over power him..

Lebron vs. Melo would be good tho

[Dark Faze]

It'd be closer than people think because Kobes ability to hand check is going to negate a lot of LeBrons strength on drives. I still think LeBron takes more games than he loses though.

[ferk]

Kobe and LeBron at the same age yup.

[therealbig3]

Durant would probably beat LeBron in 1 on 1. He had plenty of ISO opportunities against LeBron in the Finals, and LeBron couldn't really stop him. Durant would have trouble defending LeBron, absolutely, but I think it'd be tougher on LeBron to stop Durant than vice versa.

LeBron would beat Melo or Kobe.
