Which 1-1 game would be better: Lebron V Kobe or Lebron V MJ

Lets say all 3 have their average game.

Voted LeBron but come to think of it, he overpowers MJ by a big margin, so Kobe vs MJ, both in their prime, would be the better matchup

Neither would be very good since LeBron would 11-0 them in the post. I guess it'd be funny if MJ got mad and punched a water boy or something.

Kobe says he'd beat LeBron in his sleep. Didn't Michael Beasley own LeBron 1v1? 1v1 is a very different game.

Closer? I was going to click Lebron vs MJ, however that is under the assumption Lebron would win, just by a smaller margin. If MJ beat Lebron 1v1 (as he was a better 1v1 player than Kobe) then the margin would be larger, thus I cannot vote in this poll (yet)

I think Kobe and Jordan would win p decisively ngl lol

[Gregoire]

MJ vs Kobe would be most competitive.

Their both beat Lebron soundly.

Lets say all 3 have their average game.

From what I understand, nba-level 1 v 1's can turn into jump-shooting constests with one or two dribbles. Miami Lebron's biggest defensive weakness was the "hesi jimbo pull-ups" so I could actually see him struggling/losing a 1 v 1 vs these two(allegedly he struggled against Beasley actually).

Wasn't really a problem for 09/10 Lebron though, so he might just brute force this.

No strong opinion on jordan vs kobe. That said, I might favor the better athelete? Kobe's the better three-point shooter/tough shot-maker, so maybe he has some edge there

LeBron has a post game and 50 lbs on both. I mean-

The answer is whichever matchup draws more PPV buys.

If its the 1-2 dribble 1on1 MJ and Kobe have a huge advantage. If it's unlimited dribbles, Lebron will bury them physically.
