NBA 1 on 1 tourney

[Beengay fudgepackers]

If you could choose 8 players to compete in a 1 on 1 tourney, who would you choose? Who do you think would prevail?

Mine are Lebron, Durant, Harden, Curry, Davis, George (healthy), Westbrook, Kyrie.

I think durant would win.

Your list is a joke with no Melo

Meh, I was considering it, but he's starting to decline.

I'm not trying to hump Gerald Greens leg but his 1 on 1 game is ridiculous. Along with James, Durant, Melo

Take George and Davis off your list (OP) and add Lillard + Melo.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah lillard should be here also

 

[The Derski]

You don't have to be a superstar to play 1 on 1.

 

[The Derski]

edit. Harden already mentioned

I feel like Montae Ellis should be on this list somewhere

Agreed.. I'd also include Brandon Jennings.

If its full court with ticky tack calls from the refs then Id take Durant. Otherwise Id be tempted to take Melo

If refs are involved Harden wins by default. Flops errr'where.

Monta Ellis would win if he got the ball first....

Give me Davis or LeBron on that list. One on one can be won so easily if you are a lot bigger than the other guy. Curry couldn't deal with LeBron down low. None of them could. Only Anthony Davis. So give me one of those two.. LeBron would have my vote because he is more skilled.
But you guys trying to put all these guards on a list.. good luck. Anthony Davis.. mouse in the house.

I think you replace George with Melo. I do not think George has an especially great 1 on 1 game. the rest of the list looks pretty solid- all though i wonder how Davis would be at this stage of his career without the refinement that comes with technique and age- he could just out athlete everyone i suppose.

you can probably eliminate the little guys as they couldnt cover Durant or Lebron or Melo....I think I would go with Durant too.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Unless the tournament is make-it-take it, I certainly wouldn't include a defenseless Melo in the competition. On the other hand, a guy like Kawai Leonard might be pretty competitive if players play defense after scoring.

I was thinking lillard too, but I thought I had enough PGs with curry and Kyrie, both of whom I think would beat lillard 1 on 1.

The make it take it question is legit. I always assume 1 on 1 is make it take it. That's how it's played in my 'burb.

Same here. Never heard of 1 on 1 that isn't played that way
