Video: Kevin Durant Thinks Kobe Would Beat LeBron 1-on-1

Allenp is speaking the TROOF at 1:22. I had one guy call 3 seconds on me one time. I looked at him, smiled, and checked the ball up top. He didn’t make one single call the rest of the way.

I agree with KD.

3 seconds? Charges? Where are you guys playing, in the Hamptons?

Players like Lebron function better when they play with a team, like somebody already mentioned Lebron loves the pick and roll so he can run like a train and get to the rim, he uses the isolation too, 1 on 1 is different, Kobe is a great 1 on 1 player, his moves, his experience, pump fakes, post moves, handles, turn around shots etc etc, he’s got the full arsenal, he knows exactly what he’s gonna do, he’s also a very crafty defensive player. Kobe is the best 1 on 1 baller and like I said, Melo and Durant would torch Lebron too 1 on 1, but that doesn’t mean they are better players than him

*can’t*

if they played 10 times they’d each win 5…one on one is totally different from a real game. i bet jamal crawford is one of the best one on one guys in the league…kidna doesnt mean shit honestly

Man when we play pick up, the only fouls that are called are the ones you hear a loud “SMACK” on someone’s wrist/arm/hand when they’re going for a shot/lay up. Everything else goes.

I hate people who don’t call their fouls.
Because, inevitably the game gets close and the other team fouls them and there is a turnover or some other bad play and it screws things up. And the other team fouls them because they KNOW they won’t call it, particularly if the person who doesn’t call fouls is clearly better than everybody else.
Also, the person who complains the most about the other team’s foul calls is the person who typically calls the most ticky tack fouls.

Allen, how’d you beat the computer?

I’m the type that likes the person whom commits the foul to call the foul. That’s what I always do. If I foul the person and it affects the outcome of their shot then I call a foul on myself. This usually works with the church guys and such, but when you play out on the streets, no body calls fouls and your a b*tch if you do call one. Street ball games are the must fun and the must frustrating imo. You always have that guy are two that refuse to admit when they foul and it ruins the whole game for everyone.

We play call your own fouls (but we’d prefer the “fouler” to fess up first) – And Respect the call. If you lose and blame it on a bad foul call we just laugh at you. If they score a bucket to end the game then bad defense is why you lost. Not because some guy called a sh*tty foul earlier, there are no free throws in a pick up game.

Lebron would beat KD in a one on one shouldnt talking trash be about his superior Lebron would beat Kobe in a one on one Kobe cant handle Wade either.

John Wall is the only one speaking sense

Calling your own fouls never works. I always end up calling my own fouls while the other team doesn’t, and it just gives them extra possessions. I also hate people who complain about foul calls.
I also hate people who offensive foul the sh!t out of every play. I don’t call offensive fouls, but it’s really annoying catching a ‘bow to the rib every time the jack @ss drives it.

Teddy, I hear you on the guy who abuses the pick-up game code about no offensive fouls. I counter by bodying him up off the ball because calling off-the-ball fouls is about as weak as calling offensive fouls. And generally, the more physical someone is, the less stamina they have so that off-the-ball pressure will slow them down in a hurry.

^ and scene.

@GC6 John Wall would lose against someone like CP3 for the same reasons Lebron would lose against Kobe. He might be bigger, stronger and more athletic than Chris but CP3 is more skilled, more crafty and more astute. John Wall is too young to know better.

Seed probably thinks Kobe could beat Hitler at being evil.

dont get it twisted though. I dont do it every trip down the court, or even that often. But its funny to see people react to a n*gga taking a charge.

I must admit thaI handcheck likea mofo.

Kobe can beat Lechoke 1-on-1 till he retire just like Mike could still beat Bobcat player like JRich, Wallace 1-on-1 in training. Seriously Lebron is not even the top 1-on-1 players in the league today. Get off his d*ck y’all.

forget jsut last year, he woulda posted down rondo ANY of the last 3 years he faced the Celtics in the playoffs(2 of them losses) , or any otehr player in the LEAGUE if it was just as easy as posting and banging down low, the dude is huge . But it takes talent, skill and footwork.

@ LA Huey: Thanks for the tip, I think I’m gonna try that from now on, actually.

What’s the big deal? Of course Kobe would beat Lebron in 1-on-1. Kobe would beat MJ, Larry Bird, DWade, Derrick Rose, Carmelo, Dirk, Pierce, anyone in 1-on-1.

in a one on one game, lebron won’t get to the rim as much, because he got nobody setting screen after screens for him.

i seldom see lebron take somebody off the dribble without the help of a screen, he doesn’t have that crossover.

kobe on the other hand, is very creative, he’s got better handles, providing he’s playing with 10 fingers.
