The only right answer is Kobe vs MJ.

Cp3 vs Isiah
Drik vs Porzingis
Wilt vs Shaw
Kareem vs Hakeem
Jordan vs Kobe
Lebron vs Bird
Nash vs Price
Curry vs Pistol

Doesn't mean that I don't know more about basketball than you chump. We're doing bretty good considering the lack of 30 million dindus to exploit.
>>64245745
Your stale meme photo means nothing. Kobe carried his entire lackluster team at least in two occasions when he won the championships. In a one on one between two masters, only killer instinct matters. And these two had the most of it in the history of the sport.

Shaq vs KAJ or Wilt

Or

Oscar Roberson vs MJ or LeBron

Or

Curry vs handchecking
>>
>>64247662
Doesn't change the fact that kobe is one of the most overrated player and one of the least clutch players of all time

Larry Bird vs. Lebron is the only correct answer. Lebron would get shit on.

Anyone not saying Jordan vs Kobe is a fucking retard

Your statements are simply untrue. Maybe you're blinded by the way he has been playing lately. He's an old man now. But most of us remember what was doing not too long ago and how nobody could stop him.

>27/11 on .600 shooting by Shaq
Damn, I always remembered those finals as the ones when Shaq's lack of conditioning finally caught up with him
>>
>>64248552
So he didn't nail one finals series. But he did the three years before that. Let's not have any double standards. MJ was 100% in finals but all the other years he didn't make it there.
>inb4 it was all Shaq nigga
No way! Watch those games again. Kobe had at least as big of a role as Shaq did.

Iverson x Kobe

kobe is a menace to anyone 1-1. other than everything everyone already knows he's stronger physically than most people realize. He defended LeBrun without much issue in his prime. guys have to really be strong to bully him and in those cases they're always too slow to defend him. he said a guy that would worry him the most is durant.

jordan to this day continues to be an overrated defender. watch every important bulls series it's always scottie d-ing up the other guard/forward superstar. lots of 'big guys for you' ate mj alive that kobe would have a better shot against. Mj against a bird, magic, barkley etc is just free.

anyway dream match up for me would be...mj vs pippen. just because we've heard how often they battled in practice, without refs, yet results are never claimed as to who got the better of whom.

SHAQ V KOBE

if they put microphones on them and did it next week as a pay per view i'd still give them my money to see it
>>
>>64245745
>every conversation that turns into Kobe vs Jordan vs LeBron

And this is why you're all retarded kucks

There'd be 6 I'd like to see, if ever.

1. Wilt Chamberlain vs Shaquille O'Neal
2. Kobe Bryant vs Julius Erving
3. Isiah Thomas vs Jerry West
4. Larry Bird vs Stephen Curry
5. Scottie Pippen vs LeBron James
6. Charles Barkley vs Kevin Garnett

>>64256508
he shot like 45% from the field during those seasons. t-mac, and 24 year olds lebron and wade took the scoring title from him when he literally was gifted 30 shots a game if he wanted them

>>64256566
>still doesn't pull up the roster from those years

Stop stalling faggot. Either post the rosters from the years I mentioned or shut the fuck up, simple as that.

who gives a fuck about the roster, he didn't do jack shit with the teams.

Kobe almost always had a good team around him and the support of the jews who run the league

LA has so much pull on the league because its the biggest team
>>
>No duncan anywhere in this thread

Bunch of casuals tbqh. I would kill to see a Duncan vs Hakeem matchup or Duncan vs Kareem.
>>
I honestly think MJ would get merked, Lebron is just way too big for him

Lebron doesnt have good 2 first steps so his acceleration is pretty slow, Jordan has the chance to defend him

I think it comes down to how Lebron defends MJ's post up into turn around fade away jumpers
>>
>>64256836
hakeem destroyed every big man he ever came up against fåm
>>
>>64256836
Hakeem is GOAT in the post, Duncan is good because he's a good teammate and is very versatile
>>
>>64256836
nobody gives a shit about pf matchups. the exciting part about basketball is pgs and sgs. maybe sfs and i only mention sfs because of durant and lebron. even the GOAT center shaq wasn't that exciting. look im 8 feet tall and i can dunk isn't exciting. pgs and sgs with their dribble moves, fancy layups and other nice moves are the reason people like to watch basketball.

>I was born in the late 90s

>not knowing the glory of 80s-90s big men post up plays

>>
>>64256984
>hurr durr im big and strong and win by brute force

its a great strategy but it's not entertaining. its why jordan is considered the GOAT
>>
>>64244316
Yup. Two greatest 1 on 1 players ever.

>Cp3 vs isiah
>dirk vs porzingis
>wilt vs shaw
>kareem vs hakeem
>Jordan vs kobe
>Lebron vs bird

>Curry vs pistol

The only one of those that isn't a one sided snooze fest is hakeem/kareem
>>
What about fist fights?
Rodman vs Artest
Shaq vs Howard
Laimbeer vs Wallace (Rasheed)
Barkley vs Pierce
Ben Wallace vs Alonzo Morning
David Robinson vs Ewing
Yao Ming vs Manute Bol
Spud Webb vs Mugsy Bogues
>>
>>64257134
>Shaqtus vs Charmin

change that to vs Wilt. Howard should go against someone like Deandre Jordan
>>
>>64257134

Bol was a twig he weighed less than Kobe despite being a foot taller

He's 7 for 27. Do you really think all of those 27 attempts came in two post season series? A lot of them came when he was on teams that were loaded with talent.
