who'd win one on one?

Kobe - more fundamentally sound, plays better D, has locked up Lebron before, and better jumper.

 

Dwight - too athetlic, faster

 

KG - quicker, more agile

[Check my Stats]

Kobe would win if it was best of 3 or 5 or something for sure because he would figure LeBron out quick and then pick him apart offensively and defensively. In a single game though it honestly could go either way, I would probably have to say LeBron though.

 

Yao would beat D12 if he is 100%, no doubt.

 

At this point TD would easily win, 5 years ago probably KG, but Duncan is so much better now it isn't even funny. People still consider KG elite, but frankly Perkins is probably as good as KG is now. Dude is just breaking down.

So we have 4 votes but only 2 comments? Hmmm.

 

Solid topic, especially the Yao-D12 one, I think one on one would show someones skills more, and Yao has twice the skill D12 does.

Kobe-he's the best player in the league

 

Dwight-too athletic for Yao to handle

 

KG-better midrange game

Its 1 on 1 though. You really think Yao would be able to get the ball in the paint with DH12 guarding him? No, Howard is way to athletic for Yao if they played ONE ON ONE.

1. Kobe. No question.

 

2. Tough call, but I went with Yao. Dwight would have a tougher time scoring on Yao than Yao would when scoring on Dwight.

 

3. REALLY tough call, but I picked Duncan. Despite both being passed their primes, Duncan has held on to his talent better than Garnett. Garnett is declining much more.

1. Tough call, but I am going to go with LeBron. He is just more powerful going into the lane and without help defence Kobe will have a hard time containing him

2. Yao, his height helps him A LOT when scoring and defending and grabbing rebounds.

3. Duncan, he is just better in almost every aspect at the moment.

 

Maybe I should do these 3 match-ups with 2K10 and post the result.

Lol do it. 1 on 1 in 2k10 is fun as hell if you play your own music so you don't have to listen to the garbage soundtrack they have.

1) Kobe would win just because he could do a good job keeping lebron on the perimeter and then probably pick him apart offensively with no help defense.

 

2) D12 only because its 1v1. Yao is better offensively but he wouldnt be able to get to the post at all or just get spot up open shots with d12 in his face from the start. And i'm sure Dwight could take Yao off the dribble.

 

3) I think KG is really off the elite big man status and TD still is up there. TD would just destroy him.

[Newman]

Ok for some reason FRAPS doesn't work so it's up to me to review the games:

 

1. Kobe vs. LeBron

Kobe missed a 3-pointer and LeBron starts off with possession. He quickly make use of his size advantage and power through to the lane 7 times until Kobe finally stopped him on his 8th attempt. Kobe responds with a dunk but is blocked by LeBron the very next possession.

 

As Kobe become more adapted to LeBron he started playing better defence by making it harder for LeBron to go in the lane. However, LeBron keeps using his power to muscle through and score.

 

Final result: 2-21 (no joke)

 

LeBron's shot-chart:

Kobe's shot-chart:

From this it's pretty clear to see that LeBron made use of his power and attacked the basket whenever possible. Kobe did too, but whenever he couldn't capitalize on the chance LeBron would grab the rebound.

 

 

2. Dwight vs Yao

 

At the start it was hard for both sides to get inside until Yao finally got past Howard for a dunk. Then I couldn't bare to watch as both sides started bombing 3s (Thank you 2K!)and couldn't sink any. So I left it at 1-0 to Yao.

 

Just something worth noting though, Dwight tried stealing the ball everytime Yao try to shoot and Yao makes it hard for Dwight just to get past the perimeter.

 

3. KG vs Duncan

 

Once again, this game was ruined by 2K.

 

However, before I got pissed and quitted the game, KG went more inside while Duncan was more willing to shoot jumpers. However, this should be due to the fact that everytime Duncan went for a lay-up or hook shot it would've been swatted away.

 

I left it at 6-4 to Duncan.

[Kobe24]

Lol you really cant go by that because I dont think Yao could hold Dwight on perimeter if it was for real..

[Big Penny]

you cant rely on 2k10... most of the time if i sim association the Hawks beat the Hornets in the finals... 50% of the time LA, Cleveland and Boston are out before the conf. finals.

 

my votes:

 

1. imo the result would be different everytime, and i couldnt vote properly, so i voted kobe becuase i like him more.

 

2. probably Dwight

 

3. Easily Timmy

 

Lol do it. 1 on 1 in 2k10 is fun as hell if you play your own music so you don't have to listen to the garbage soundtrack they have.

you really think 2k10's soundtrack is garbage?

[JWaLL]

you really think 2k10's soundtrack is garbage?

Not all of it, but a lot of the songs get so damn repetitive I had to disable them in the 2k beats list. I think I only have like 6 of the songs enabled.

[ChosenOne]

Kobe - Best player in the world.

Yao - Will always have Howards number one on one

Timmy D - I just like him more than kg, but it would be a great game.

[B-Marsh>R-Moss]

how the hell would dwight beat yao in 1 on 1, have some of you guys never seen them play head to head? Just another indication of how underrated Yao is and how overrated Dwight is.

[Check my Stats]

Has anyone seen Dwight try and make a post move? I stuck up for Dwight's post game in the past saying it was underrated, but watching him try and spin to the basket and hit a hook shot, that hits the backboard and not rim, just makes me go -_-.

 

Yao would honestly dominate Dwight one on one. Dwight is also a pretty overrated defender IMO.

[deestillballin]

1. Kobe - since im assuming its half court one on one, he has a better jumper than Lebron, and a better half court game than LBJ although he is coming up

 

2. D12, more athleteic and a better post game

 

3. TD - the most fundamental player in the game. nuff said

[kingfish]

 

2. D12, and a better post game

 

 

Woah woah woah wait what, huh???

Based on a one and done format:

 

Lebron wins! More strength for James. Lebron is equally as effective in the paint. The more this becomes a perimeter game, however, it'll be Kobe.

 

Yao wins! I can't believe I just typed that. While Dwight is stronger, at this position Yao would have the advantage on the perimeter. More polished and smoother game. If Yao allowed Dwight to score consecutively in a "make it-take it" game, it would be murder for Yao!

 

KG wins! This may be the toughest matchup here. Of the three, this one would go down to the wire. No blowouts here. Kevin has the agility to turn this game in his favor. I see Duncan not playing perimeter defense in this game. The minute he does go out to guard Kevin, he's burned for a drive. Duncan tends to be very flat footed.

[KurbyFX]

How do you people vote Dwight based off of athleticism? You do realize he still has to put the ball into the basket right? Not to mention Yao can hit spot up shots whereas Howard has trouble being consistent from the FT line. Perimeter? Who the hell is going to be dribbling on the perimeter to take a shot in a big vs big?
