Michael Beasley 1 vs 1 right NOW 

Post#1 » by jojo4341 » Wed Jul 23, 2025 8:35 pm

Who among these players can Michael Beasley beat 1 vs 1? I realize 1 game can go either way especially with pros. But I mean if they played multiple times, would Beasley have the edge? How many of these players can he beat in a majority of 1 vs 1s, if any? Again, this is today, not his or anyone's prime. As an added bonus, who's the best 1 vs 1 out of the group including Beasley? Good off-season content if any more 1 vs 1s happen. I'd like to see Beasley vs Joe Johnson since he's been playing in the Big 3 very recently and dominating.

Context:

Micheal Beasley has been getting a lot of attention regarding his one on one skills. He recently said he beat Lebron several times one on one in reference to this thread:

Note that the majority of RealGM voters believed Beasley did beat Lebron (myself included). Since then, there have been a lot of back and forths on who he can beat. A lot of NBA players respect and vouch for his skills. I'm genuinely curious how he would do against these players TODAY.

He has already played and beaten Lance Stephenson recently:

Carmelo's response to Beasley. Says he should play Rudy Gay instead, but respects his game and what he's doing:


Beasley says Bam Adebayo is the only player to beat him 1 vs 1. He said "everybody" else tried while he was on the Heat...implying he also beat Lebron, Wade and Bosh:

Iso Joe is too composed. Beasley would be so shook he'd probably take his ball and go home.

It's mind boggling how good they still look. NBA players are so darn good. I know they played professional ball relatively recently, but still, they are just so big, so skilled. Based on this video, Beasley might beat all three non-active, older players, even though they were better in the NBA.
