Jordan. No question.

What would happen?

Let's be honest here...Carmelo's got Kobe one-on-one.

Maybe old 34 year old Kobe. But prime Kobe would shit on him.

Well, this is an interview with a 34-year old Kobe.

Even now I'd give it to Kobe. 1 on 1 is a lot about will too. Melo isn't just gonna back him down and score, especially with no refs. I'd still give it to Kobe. With no help defenders its almost impossible to guard Kobe.

Kobe is a boss.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Vince Carter would roast him.

The exact same thing could be said for Melo. Kobe said it himself, guarding him is like trying to defend a bull. I don't see Kobe stopping Carmelo from getting to the basket.

Kobe's a pretty confident guy. All athletes should have that level of confidence.

The T-Mac stuff was crazy.

Don't think defensively he'd stop Kobe in his prime. Kobe would have a better chance defending and getting a few stops than the other way around.

I'm talking right now. Kobe doesn't go to the rim much any more, so it's more a matter of just contesting his jumper (not that it's an easy task).

2002-03 T-Mac would give him trouble. Arrogantbe at it again.

[Legends66NBA7]

Vince Carter would roast him.

I could see that.

Vince in that past has tried really hard to defend Kobe, but it would be different 1 on1 .

I'd still say it's pretty close, but yeah advantage for Melo.

agreed. Too smart, too savvy. Melo would get easily frustrated with the trash talk too.
