GOAT 1v1 player (PG Edition)

[SNPA]

LeBron. PG was his main offensive position.

If we are just taking anyone who has played meaningful minutes at PG then I'd have to take Doncic, Magic or Ben Simmons. Penny Hardaway or Oscar are also good choices. The height advantage in one-on-one is huge and there isn't a single standard size PG with any real hope of defending these guys.

My choice might honestly be Simmons - which seems weird given he's no longer a viable NBA player - and the main reason is simply because defensively he'd be a giant pain in the arse to play against for all these standard sized PG and he can also trouble the bigger guards.

What little evidence we have doesn't bear that out. When they actually ran a one on one tourney back in the 70s, Bob Lanier did win season one, but it was over a 6'3 PG in Jo Jo White. The next year it was 6'4 Geoff Petrie over 6'5 Barry Clemens. And that was with no 3 point line! I was surprised too, I would have thought the big guys would just back the little guys down and shoot bunnies.
