List of under 6'11" players who can beat LeBron one-on-one

[Living Being]

In a game of 21...

I'll start with the obvious:

Olajuwon 21-6 (overwhelms LeBron on both ends)
Jordan 21-15 (GOAT scorer, almost GOAT perimeter defender, but undersized)
Pippen 21-19 (GOAT perimeter defender, long wingspan, decent offense)

Possibles:

Magic (while not superb defensively, has the size and post game)
Kobe (better one-on-one by far, but at a size disadvantage)
Rodman (might not score, but LeBron would give up and kill himself)

Other players have defended LeBron well, but they aren't great enough offensively.

Hmm, dont think any of them could tbh, Hakeem and LeBron are basically the same size but LeBron is more skilled. While Jordan didnt have the iso ability to consistently score on Lebron.

'09 LeBron is annihilating pretty much everyone except Hakeem and Jordan.

Edit: And I emphasized annihilation. I didn't even say he couldn't beat MJ and Hakeem.

Also, I'll put my money on Melo 1v1 vs LeBron.





If you can contain LeBron enough to force him to shoot a couple of jumpers (he's not a good jump shooter), and dominate him on offense, it's a wrap.

And you know this how?

Same way you know how strong Wilt's gluteal muscles are.

I am confident there is atleast 30 players in the NBA at anytime that could beat Lebron

He has no quick first step or 1 on 1 skills
