Can anyone on this site beat JJ Barrea 1on 1?

[JerryWest]

I'm way too short and weak, anyone confident enough to beat this dude?

[plowking]

You know how quick that little f*cker would be?

Be like playing ball against a pitbull. Even Bron couldn't beat him.

[SouBeachTalents]

Idk, dude plays some good defense

[Rake2204]

Sometimes the stars align and weird things can happen in one-on-one. But for most on this site, myself included, we're taking that loss 99 times out of 100.

Sidenote, he's not exactly scrawny either, so when plowking mentioned it'd be like playing a pitbull, he probably wasn't too far off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6iTtGdvLls

NBA range, elite speed, strong upper body, elite fundamentals. He'd kind of be a mess to play against. Imagine having to step out 25 feet away from the hoop to guard a guy like that, with all that space on the floor between yourself and the basket for him to operate.

Nobody's beating an NBA pro in a game of 1 on 1. I've got half a foot on him in height and he'd still make me look hopeless

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Dude averaged double figures in the NBA for a few seasons.

So, yeah, I would kick his ass.

Learned the flop game from da bess. Stern had already ruined the league by 2012

[24-Inch_Chrome]

No one here would score a point on him.

[ralph_i_el]

No one on here has half a chance in hell. Who is quick enough to guard him on the perimeter? Even if you are a complete stud athlete, he's going to kill you.

I'm a pretty strong dude and I can usually get the better of my defender when we make contact. I'm 6'0 175. Barea is like 5'7" 185. That's built.

1 on 1 is different from organized 5 on 5. A lot of times, 1 on 1 comes down to backing the other guy down in the paint and shooting a high pct shot. Someone who has about a foot on him and has pretty good skills can possibly beat him. There is only so much you can do on D if you are the much shorter man being backed down. But other than that, he destroys everyone else.

[dubeta]

Lol I'd dunk on that midget

You're a ****in toothpick.

Just because he's more effective than anyone here in 5 on 5 team basketball, doesn't mean he would dominate everyone in 1 on 1.

Barea is listed at 6'0 which means he's about 5'10. Anyone here that's 6'4 or taller with a decent jumper and decent coordination should be able to compete with him. It's not a full court, 5 on 5 game. It's 1 on 1. They're completely different things.

Exactly. And in 1 on 1, a significant height difference means the taller person is going to get the rebound on just about every missed shot.

Yeah, a few days ago I went hard with this guy for a few games 1 on 1 and he had like 4 inches in reach on me. Backed me down time and time again and I was pretty much at his mercy down low. Length and height is a huge factor 1 on 1. There is no double you have to worry about. Just back down the smaller guy and shoot over him.
