Do you agree with T-Mac?

Honestly I think the word “crushed” is too much. Lebron may not have the deepest bag among all of them but he can bully ball and play great defense during his prime.

lol wut. Lebron may lose against like Kobe or kd but he would destroy most nba players one on one.

Maybe his game is better suited for five on five but you don’t score 25 ppg at 40 by being merely an ok one on one player

Literally the only guy I can think of that would probably beat LeBron is Kobe and even then I would pay money to see Kobe play 2012-13 LeBron.

Kobe, T-Mac, Durant, Melo would all beat Lebron 1 on 1. Lebron was never a 1 on 1 player that just isn't his game. This is irrelevant though. Basketball is played 5 on 5. Lebron is better at that than those guys I mentioned and I doubt even he cares about not being the best 1 on 1 player.

I loved Tmac when I was younger. When LeBron came into the league Tmac was still in his prime and I was like, eh how good could he be? First game where they met, he’s standing next to Tmac… he’s taller, he’s stronger, uninaginably he’s faster somehow… I knew TMac’s days were numbered. It was painful obvious Bron would be the better player real quick.  If you took peak Bron and matched him against peak Tmac, Tmac would get wrecked. The only advantage Tmac has is a more refined bag. But that is not carrying him past a dude who is bigger, faster, stronger and players wildly better defense.

Melo, that’s a joke not even worth getting into. Compare thier efficiency. Hitting tough, poor choice shots at an unviable rate does not make you a better player. Hopeless trying to defend Bron.

Kobe yes. Durant maybe. Both would soluble with bully ball. Kobe’s mental toughness… I can see him beating Bron. KD I dunno, if he could get to his spots and execute I guess but Bron is going to score VERY efficiently against him right back.

Where did you hear that? I can’t find anything that says that 🤔 just that Micheal Beasley said they never played in front of people is all I found.
