If Player A can destroy Player B in 1-on-1, and also win more in 5-on-5, then

[3ball]

aren't they the better player???..

Accordingly:

Players who are better than Bron based on superior ability to win 1-on-1 and 5-on-5:

MJ
Wilt
Kobe
Kareem
Shaq
Duncan
Durant


Did I miss anyone and who else would be at least arguable in both areas??... Kawhi?.. Russell?.. maybe Hakeem or prime Wade?

[Manny98]

What about this guy?

[sdot_thadon]

all those guys aside from Kobe could do the same to Mj, so........

They won 6 rings?

No, they didn't, so mj was better at 5-on-5

And none of them could "destroy" MJ in 1-on-1, so ur wrong on all fronts.. what else is new..

all of those guys are centers. At an alltime great level. They absolutely destroy Mj. He wouldn't be able to stop a single score.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Lebron weighs 250 lbs to MJ's 216. He also has 2 inches over him in height.

MJ is slightly faster, and jumps slightly higher.

LBJ is going to slash past him, post him up and shoot fadeaways. LBJ can straight up shoot jumpers in MJ's face.

MJ can also shoot jumpers in LBJ's face.

LBJ has done some notoriously filthy blocks.
MJ hasn't.

b-b-but hangtime, chest to chest dunks and slow motion instant replay bro.

damn

All of those guys are all-time great centers - they absolutely destroy Mj. He wouldn't be able to stop a single score.

^^^ If only it was that simple

1-on-1 among high level players depends on who gets the ball first, as 1-on-1 is make-it-take-it

Ultimately, no one can stop anyone's go-to moves

If MJ gets the ball first, or Shaq misses a jump hook, it's over - MJ will score 11 in a row

So again, MJ wouldn't get "destroyed" by anyone in 1-on-1, and no one is beating his ability to win 5-on-5

what makes you think Shaq would ever shoot a jump hook against Mj?

What makes you think Bill Russell would give Mj any soft foul he'd call?

What makes you think Mj would ever be within a foot of one of Kareem's skyhooks?

What makes you think Mj could possibly do anything against Wilt in a 1 on 1 setting?

Yes Mj could score but he's not getting any dunks vs. guys like that. They'd just swat him out of the sky, he'd have to pretty much rely on the jumper and it'd be significantly less efficient and effective than what those guys would do to him. Real world bro. No weak fouls, no 5 second back down rule. no 3 seconds.

Jordan's scoring frequency on lebron would be higher than vice versa

Lebron has no post game and his post attempts would look clumsy and he'd miss a lot

Anytime MJ got the ball, he'd score a bunch in a row in graceful fashion.. then lebron would clumsy it up for a bucket or 2... Rinse repeat

Bigs can't guard mj's jumper or his drive.. you know that

No one had more posters on bigs than MJ, but he wouldn't need it because he'd blow by them for easy layups and dunks

No one had more crazy, hangtime finishes in traffic than MJ, but again, he'd be scoring on bigs easily and wouldn't need it

It's not even close

You sound like you never seen MJ, even on youtube
