RE last comment, that would be amazing.

I tend to agree with Kobe. Durant would trouble him but he'd have LeBron.

Insert Ingles13 negative comments now....

How would Kobe stop Lebron down low? Lebron would haeve the speed to defend Kobe as well

Probably not the best time to brag about being the best one-on-one when you're playing a team game and your team is playing like crap.

Jake, I also thought LeBron could out-muscle him and take it inside. What's the convention in one-on-one for drawing a foul on a drive? Just possession?

Competitive one on ones are always taken out by a player who backs down and muscles his way to the basket, back down dribble x4 and layup, Lebron would beat Kobe.

Someone like Shaq in his prime would win every game, the only way he could loose is if you start counting 3's and 2's, but the shooter would need to get on a streak as Shaq would score 2 literally every time.

Disagree completely Melbourne boy. They have to get to the post first. There's no PG feeding them.

Kobe would be able to defend the post well enough to affect most shots. On the other hand, LeBron could have a hand in Kobe's face on every jumper. Wouldn't matter.

That other sneaker company... Love it

I'd beat them both at Connect Four.

x, watch "Red Bull King of The Rock"

Shaq would be handed the ball at the 3 point line, turn and sit his 150kg ass on his opponent and take 4 backdown dribbles and dunk.

Jump shots don't win 1 on 1.

Shaq in his prime couldn't stop Kobe doing whatever he wanted on offense and would have trouble handling the ball outside the key with a pesky Kobe in his face going for the steal.

Kobe v LeBron, particularly now that Kobe's lost a step, would be something different altogether.

Billo, pretty sure if Shaq backed Kobe down from the top of the key there is no chance of a steal, he doesn't even need to face him at all.
Kobe would take relatively easy jumpers and would miss at least a couple.

Durant owned Kobe on Saturday. He's in a different stratosphere to him. Looked like an adult playing with kids. Was amazing to watch

Thank you for your insight once again, Ingles. Can you list the things that Kobe is actually good at?

"The best one on one"

Me thinks that there is a girl in Denver who has had better....

But this claim is a self assessment, and 90% of people believe they are above average at self assessments.

Do we think LeBron may have been shown this article today?

I know it wasn't "1 on 1", but 17/25 F/G's to 8/25, in a head to head match up!!

He's good at missing a lot of shots.

Lebron and Wade made Kobe look like a little boy today. This article is laughable.

Interesting that Kobe never 'verbally' challenged Jordan despite MJ being past his prime for many of their games. Shows he knew better than that!

Kobe's been very forthcoming promoting his 'inner calm' in sit downs with Steven A. Smith and now Palmer.

Pehaps he needs to get p*&%ed off again to lift LA.

TMac responds on Twitter:

LOL Hell no! That's far from the truth. No one in the NBA is playing 1 on 1. Me and KB never went to Germany together either..

Either he's taking the piss, or it's all in his head, Jordan-style.

Kobe could rape MJ easy

what about that women in colorado who won that one Kobe?

Hey ingles remember how you said Chris Paul is the reason why clippers arewhere they are? I said it was more about depth and a lot of good guards would have the same record. You basically laughed at that. Look at their results minus Paul? Easy wins as Bledsoe covered nicely.

Look at curry? Lose both games without him yet win today with him back.

Once again you don't know jacksht. Keep listening to skip for your arguments cause it will continue to make you look like a douche.

David Robinson and Olajuwon would probably beat most. Tall, fast and good shooters.

Not sure Jordan more athletic than Kobe.

They raved about his dunk from the foul line.

Kobe dunked on someone a foot inside the foul line. James white was dunking two hands from the foul line before college.

Not saying Jordan wasn't an awesome player, just saying not the greatest athlete to play the game.

Time to get EA Sports onto the Kobe vs LBJ argument

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_vs._Bird:_One_on_One

lol this kobetard is back defending his 17-23 boy

Which kobetard is that? You referring to me?

Ingles, I assume you have no comment on todays Clippers / Warriors result in which CP3 was clearly outplayed by Step Curry in the loss??

When NBA games are decided by which team includes the best one-on-one player then Kobe will finally get the respect that he thinks he is due. Until then: whatever, Kobe.

a topic about kobe bryant and his one on one skills has to get shifted to a debate about curry/cp3 because kobe fans know that Kobe is becoming a detriment to his team and have to shift the subject.

And if you would seriously take Curry over CP3, then please just stop talking basketball.

But you would take CP3's career when its all said done, instead of Kobe's?

Ingles13 = Tard

Yeah I brought up curry v Paul debate and clown ingles has no back up for it. Warriors beat clips again and curry owned Paul again.

Where's your agruments ingles? You come on here like an arrogant piece of crap that's educating us (your words). You laughed when I said curry has been more of an MVP for the warriors than Paul to clippers. Then you turned around and said curry isn't even the best player on his team. Still waiting to hear your answer to that.

I'll keep pushing you cause you think you're a know it all, when in reality you're an espn regurgitator that knows nothing.

You deflect to Kobe and kobetards as you don't have the knowledge to offer anything else. I am a kobetard, I support him and the lakers through the poor times like now cause they and him have given lakers supporters a lot of happiness.

Where you been with your harden love in the last 8 games? Pretty quiet hey. Read espn footnote for rockets win today. They mention harden as main contributor but like you, neglect to mention 25% from the floor.

Ingles how does it feel to be unlked. Do u really have friends?

Never said Curry wasn't a good player. I just said David Lee is probably more important, but you can make the case for either. I haven't seen a whole lot of Warriors nor am I a Warriors follower so I wouldn't really know exactly how they have gone in games I have not seen them play.'

But saying Curry is more important than CP3 is a really bad troll.

I'm proud you're sticking by your lakers in times like these. I know plenty of people I see that have jumped off the lakers support because they are glory hunters (like a lot of lakers 'supporters').

Harden has been bad recently. No doubt about it. But I was making a case 2 weeks ago, when he WAS in the MVP discussion. I can't defend him after the last 7 or 8 games, because he hasn't played well, but that doesn't mean he was a top 5 MVP candidate before. It's also the first time Harden has played major minutes in the NBA as a legit #1 option. I guess having a pretty average team has caught up to the rockets and they are struggling in the tough west.

Now back to the original topic. Kobe claiming he is the best 1 on 1 player in the league, or however he describes it. Since then, he has been outplayed by Lebron, suffered against the raptors (lol) and then got locked up by the rookie Jimmy Butler today. All while shooting under 33% in each of the last 3 games. That makes the Kobe led lakers 2-9 this year I believe.

Someone's gotta ask MDA, who was dominating team USA in the Gold medal game at the Olympics and forcing double teams quite often... Was it Pau Gasol or Earl Clark?
