Love the high praise for Melo and glad they keeping TMac legacy alive. Pre-injury McGrady was 2nd only to Kobe during that era. 💯
Melo & T Mac my favorite players plus AI
It sucks that we can't see McCants pretend like he was Kobe's best friend in life on this video 😂😂😂
Everybody do since he passed
@@moe7825Smh why people can't stand on something before Kobe passed I'd describe him as Shaqs Sidekick and after he passed if you ask me about Kobe I'd say who's the goat? Shaqs Sidekick? Come one bro😂
😂😂
@@Luka21010ur A casual fan and that’s OK 👍🏽
@@Luka21010a sidekick but has more titles than shaq🤡
K Mart talking about McCants doing the 100 push ups was hilarious 😂😂😂
I'm mad it cut off I wanted to see they reaction
Carmelo, Kobe, MJ, AI, KD, Kyrie best 1v1 players 🔥
Kyrie and Kemba have to be up there. Even D Rose. People don’t understand. Teams legit guarded D Rose like he was prime Giannis at 6’3………. No no really just think about that. The man had almost no shooting around him and still finished at the rim over 3 and 4 defenders. D Rose is one of the VERY few guys who played in a past era that I can confidently say in the league today with all the shooting and bigs being smaller he’s be getting 30-35 a game.
Jordan
The thing is AI himslef admitted that Kyrie is the most skilled player in NBA history, so..
Kyrie>AI
Mj first Kobe second the rest can fight it out
Lexi sitting up there like eye candy 🍬
She is fine than a mofo
She so bad 😩
She gone say yall sexualizing her
@@_Doitagainshorts yeah, bad at basketball IQ
Dem legs 🦵
When Gil said ouch Itch that hurts was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
Melo was really physical like he was a bully mix with mad skills Melo was scary frfr
T Mac, Kobe , MJ, Melo, Starbury, AI, Agent O 💯🎯
Gotta include the post too, Shaq Timmy keem KM HAKEEM
Allen Iverson and Melo have to be the most annoying to guard. Rather guard KD bc he only shooting so many shots. Kobe, is like the hulk, the angrier he gets the worst for you
I second that notion
Are you stupid? KD is literally everything you want in a scorer, and on top of that he’s more efficient with the same bag. And he’s 7ft with that kind of stroke, and drives in frequently. Gotta be stupid as shit just stop that bias. He would cook melo and Kobe 1 on 1 as he has the same skills but with much more size and length. 😂 idiots fr
Are you stupid? KD is the greatest 1v1 scorer oat. Not even close, has an insanely good stroke and he’s 6’11 with a 7’5 wingspan, plus all the skills melo and Kobe have. He would cook both of them 1v1. Stop letting bias get in the way of facts 😂 Great ball handler and post moves as well. The most complete and the greatest scorer ever. Has the physical and skill
Kobe locking you up while killing you on offense
Your not guarding kd if your not at least 6”8 so you sound crazy asf
Melo would definitely be the hardest to guard 1v1 in the nba history score on any level no questions in any level
give me kd hes even more efficient
@@dan-jd4gs Easier to guard than Melo.
Iso Joe Johnson gotta be mentioned! Paul Pierce killed in Iso always too. Baron Davis, Steve Francis, Paul George, Derozan, Monta Ellis, Wade, Vince etc.
THE DIRK DISRESPECT IS INSANE
@@carlh287 Dirk 1 of my GOATS. Of course he in there. Rasheed Wallace too and Jermaine O'Neal, Chris Webber, and Z-Bo iso beasts.
Lamarcus Aldridge 🎉🎉
T-Mac 1 on 1 was no mf joke lol His handles at his height added to his agility and speed? Dude had it all. Wish his body held up. It may have ended up being a longer trip there but I think he could've gotten a ring if he could've lasted just a few more years.
People forgot , Orlando and early Houston T- Max was unguardable, pull up from anywhere, raise off the dribble either way, finish either hand, post , didn’t have to dribble a lot , his name should always be in top 5 of one on one players
Derrick Rose was unstoppable 1v1
Too big, Too Fast, Too Strong
It seems almost a consensus around the league for anyone who played against prime D Rose that he was the toughest to guard and the way guys talk they make it seem like it wasn’t close. D Rose peers include John Wall, and Russ, Curry, Kyrie, Dame, Kemba so that’s tough.
6’1, just as fast as russ but not as fast as fox, was strong for a guard not strong against forwards or bigs, hmmm doesn’t seem like the “unstoppable” force
@Sunny-jl6mr stop, the only person that immediately comes to mind that did well on 2011 d rose was a prime LeBron .That should tell you enough
Yessir. My favorite player of all time too
@@jamesonedwardsii4943that's true but as a huge d rose fan he couldn't really guard anyone either
Carmelo is the most versatile scorer in the game ever.
Kevin Durant
@@boogy1033"versatile" Durant has no power post game, quick 2nd jump after rebound, jab step like Melo. Melo can do everything, Kd cant do it all but is taller and more efficient from his areas
@@pipohemm8726 KD had 3-point range. Melo didn't really in his prime.
@@penkima4923 Melo had the range by 2007, just lower volume until like 2011. Once he had it, only fools would leave him open from there.
@@penkima4923what?
Kobe is the best 1 on 1 player ever
according to him.
He was way too inefficient to be the best 1 on 1. Plenty of times Lebron locked him up and folks say Lebron don’t play defense.
@@WJGSixPlenty of times Bron locked up Kobe??????? Bron couldn’t lock Kobe on his way out 😂 You need to watch more tape
@@jordanpayton2149 look it up bud. The evidence says otherwise.
@@jordanpayton2149but Lebron has more wins and points in their matchups tho😅
Denver Melo was different to me. He really used to bully people lol. He would get like 3 offensive boards in a row.
MJ, Kobe, Melo, Iverson, Tmac, Durant, K. Irving, Harden, Shaq, Garnett, Curry, Kareem, Luka, D. Rose
How you put Luka and not Joel lol
Joel, George Gervin, Paul George, Marbury, Jamal Crawford, Tatum, Bron, Arenas, Joe Johnson, Vince, Stevie Franchise, BD, Mashburn. Golly gee. And i probably left out 100 other players
@@tyrellmiles1467 nice list I acknowledge all those players as elite 1 on 1s. I just ain’t feel like writing to much , was only thinking of 10-15. There are different tiers amongst greats . Everyone can’t be on the first tier if you’re doing a best of the best list to many names
@@brickmoney4152 i was being a bit facetious there because whenever you put any sort of list on social, you always get at least one “well what about so and so.?” Because we sure do love our honorable mentions or trying to make ties even though it’s supposed to be a list of only, 5, 10 or whatever number it is you’re saying it’s supposed to be. Even though we know that somebody’s gonna be left off. Sort of like how it is with the all star team
Thank you for mentioning Harden aka the iso god
Love your style, keep rocking it!
Glad to hear my guys T-Mac and Melo get their flowers.
Lmfaooooo the end of the clip is hilarious with the Mccants jokes. Walk down the aisle sideways, and he did 100 pushups straight😂
I love this show, very very informative on the NBA life and challenges they face.
Serious question, does 1 on 1 only apply to perimeter players? Its not like post players dont go "1 on 1" cuz Hakeem has to be mentioned as one the best "1 on 1" players. No one could guard him. Unstoppable moves.
Exactly
Yeah McHale too. Once it's in the post who's stopping him? But yeah I'd go with Hakeem #1
@@DavidLee-cw6ciShaq before Kevin
I feel like you have to break down 1v1 into 6’3 and under and 6’4 and over
MJ or Kobe everything else after
facts
Tmac.
I love Kyrie but he probably is the most blocked player by game lol.
Shut up. You can't guard Kyrie.
@@ArtificialIntelligenceSound so how come Kyrie never won anything after cavs? never MVP? never first team all NBA? Never led the league in scoring? lol.
Jordan, Kobe, Vince Carter, McGrady, Iverson, KD, Isiah Thomas, Melo, Kyrie, Olajuwon
Lexi’s legs are shiny and look smooth AF!
Kobe is the best 1 on 1 or Jordan, melo is up there because of his size and strength, KD cause of his height, they are all super talented on the offensive side, kyrie also up there I wouldn’t put him first cause of size but you can argue kyrie is the most gifted
Melo
I love you his tenor doesn't change at all as he proceeds to describe the chicken 😂
Is Gil not in the conversation like he wasn’t bussin everybody ass. 😂😂😂
Kyrie is way more efficient than most of them while taking difficult shots, it’s not just how he scores it how efficient he is as well. 1v1 three dribbles jordan and kyrie is killing everyone
Totally agree 💯
Nah tmac and kd cause half the time they don’t even have to use a dribble their jumpers are so pure they can just rise up over the hand
@@splashbros-yc9lkhe said usin. The dribble why use an instance where players don’t dribble lol
I forgot to add kd, my fault
@@splashbros-yc9lk Tracy mcgrady my favorite player bro and his jumpshot was good but he’s still not efficient like these guys, tmac was a volume shooter bro
In the mid 2000’s Melo could get hotter than anybody in the league Kobe and LeBron included
Kobe is the best 1 on 1 player of all time
Easy, easy.
Kyrie more skilled offensively
@@davelouie131I disagree
PERIOD 🐍
AGREED
that was cute but lets be real, Jordan, Kobe and T-Mac are on a different level than everyone else.
The fact that Kyrie is 6’2 and can shoot over taller players and do everything going left just as good as going right, finishes with both hands with ease speaks for itself, I’m not gonna lie yall named some absolute killas but you literally can’t game plan for Kyrie because of how skilled he is and how dangerous he is anywhere of the floor🤷🏾♂️
You can definitely game plan for him lol u can choose kyrie to each his own he’s up there as well but he doesn’t have the height that those others do they automatically have the advantage and that’s just facts
Kobe, MJ, KD, A.I., Melo, Kyrie, T-Mac, and Gilbert are all up there!!!😮😂😂😂😂
It’s all subjective. It’s what the person feels and see in their eyes.
THANK YOU FAM!! These topics are dumb AF!
The fact that all those players are taller let’s you know how special Kyrie is to be in this convo… Kyrie is the best 1-1 player…you give them those other guys height and it’s not even close
Very good conversation
Norris Cole lowkey come off as a kyrie hater that man has no offensive weaknesses no matter who guards him tall same height he’s literally made a career out of making very difficult shots on the best defense making them look silly bragging about stripping kyrie once if you was that great of a defender and offensive player you’d still be in the league
I agree, also his logic of mj and kobe being taller giving them an advantage actually sort of proves that Kyrie is more skilled because the man isn't even 6'2 and can afford to do the things that taller skilled players can do
All he said is you have a better chance to contest his shot vs someone like melo 6'9 and KD 6'11 🤷🏾♂️ no lies detected
Norris Cole already getting too comfortable on the show lol Talkin too much and responding to everything shutup dude 😂
I watch kyrie cook klay thompson at 6'8 an the finals Norris really hating talking height smh
Norris know Kyrie torched his ass
Funny how people don’t recognize their own biases, no matter how obvious. The greatest of all time just happen to be from the same era? Theirs?
T-Mac the biggest what if story in NBA history if he was healthy and stay in Orlando sky was the limit
Penny Hardaway
Kobe 💯
Most entertaining basketball podcast. Hands down
McCants on his Deebo/Damon shyt 😂
Waaaay back, George Gervin, Roger Brown, Earl Monroe.
Bernard King 60 pt games no 3pts
I'll take Allen Iverson but don't sleep on Ja Morant!
Kyrie is definitely one of the top 25 best "one on one" players in NBA history but the top 5 of all time are #1 MJ, #2 Kobe, #3 Tim Duncan, #4 Steph, and #5 Iverson. I was about to say Shaq and Kevin Durant are top 5 until I remembered that Dennis Rodman locked up Shaq by himself and KD got locked up multiple times by both Chris Paul and PJ Tucker. 💯💯
3:00 kenyons face 😂
Kyrie would cook everybody on this panel lol
Gil might legit be the better 1v1 player.
@@penkima4923 No way you said that Nigga. Kyrie would smoke him.
@@penkima4923negative.
The best 1 vs 1 ever was Kobe that’s easy money.. he dominated a young g Kyrie at a old age
MJ was quicker and more athletic. MJ all day
@@jacobwatson3781when it comes to MJ and Kobe it’s not even close. You can watch the games and see. Kobe had more moves but very simply put MJ was so much more athletic he didn’t need them…..
@@jamesonedwardsii4943There was no move Kobe had thst MJ didn't. 40 year old MJ was still cooking fools.
Kobe career average .447 percent shooting. Jordan .497. Jordan was way more efficient and a better scorer.
@@kifley19Jordan illegal defence
Cmon now Gil!! You know damn well we clicked to see 👀 Mcants opinion on this! He def would’ve said KOBE! And stood on that ish! 😂🤣😂🤣
I feel like prime Vince Carter Raptor years should be mentioned. I was pretty young then so I could be wrong. From what I remember, he was up there with Kobe, TMac, and AI. I used to love when any of them matched up against each other.
David Thompson and Maravich - lights out !
Man I really loved that Nuggets team
Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe, Nate 'Tiny' Archibald, Pete Maravich, Calvin Murphy, Jason 'White Chocolate' Williams, Steve Nash
Irving definitely lb for lb the best 1 on 1 player as far as skill
It’s Kyrie.
Hunnit straight. No break
Dude said Garnett lol.
Kyrie has to be the only player in the league history to be the goat at so many things and yet not have any MVP's, FMVP's, scoring titles, first team all NBA teams or even ever really been a legit first option in his career 😂
Gilbert Arenas wasn't as clear of a first option as Kyrie, but otherwise Gil fits that description. You should google who Gil was. He was great.
@@penkima4923 I don’t have to google who Gil was 😂 loved Gil.
those are all media awards. we talking about skill set. his peers respect him and know what he does
I feel I need Michael Beasley on the show for this topic too
Y is norris cole naming guys he didn't play against 🤔🤣
GENTLEMEN BLESSING TO ALL
The difference with kyrie check the fg% 😂 the efficiency. KD n kyrie are the most efficient scores from all levels these dudes career 90 50 40
KOBE BEAN BRYANT! He was the best 1v1 1v2 and 1v3 player ever, just ask Toronto.
Based on what i grew up watching ... Melo,KD are top of the list. Kobe, T mac, Harden, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, kyrie, Gil. No order. It's like 5 more i like but they eehh
Why dude look depressed after Kmart said no break lol
Norris and Kenyon right about MJ, KD, Kobe and Melo.. If you not 6'4 you can't even comment on who you would rather guard 🤣
Funny no one names Lebron when they bring up 1v1s yet he has proved time and time again he is unguardable
What about Hakeem, Chris Jackson, AI?
Kyrie
Kevin Garnett? WTF is Norris on? LOL KG aint no damn 1v1 player
Pretty sure he was schooling the usa team in practise
Are you crazy? Kg will kill a nigga 1 on 1 in the post what are you talkin bout
And he gonna get in your head and play d, basketball more than just a crossover and jumper my nigga you know that
In the post yes he is
Have you lost your fucking mind
Kyrie is more efficient than most of the people they listed.
How when he need 15 dribbles..thats inefficent...them other dudes 5 dribbles or less and its a shot..kyrie can but thats not his style.
Kobe was not efficient because he has 2 defenders on him consistently.. and that’s not a joke lol
Same with iverson. These niggas keep bringing up skill, we talking about the BEST. skill plus opportunity and opposition. Not just skill@@sholaabitogun2747
@@samariohoward6298your actually lying, most of kyrie’s points come within 3-5 dribbles, you just don’t watch him and he’s also one of the best off ball players in the league. Its probably just a misconception because his handles are so good that people think he just over dribbling to score.
@@abtocool6350I swear I hate when people keep talking bout dribble count that’s how you know they don’t really watch kyrie
Who's stopping Shaq or Wilt in a 1v1 ?
Hakeem and russell
Anything outside of 10ft and the free throw line 😂
@@jacobyjonez9900so who’s stopping them 10 ft in?
@@Disxreet hakeem . .
in terms on 1 vs 1 play. must include defense too
Kevin Garnet??😂😂
I am going with MJ for this one. From 96 - 98 on the block he was an unstoppable poetry of 1 on 1 mastery. I am saying this as someone who does not like Jordan for a lot of reasons.
Kyrie
Nah offensively Tmac Kd Melo those are the greatest offensive talents in there prime especially Melo he can score at all levels
@@davelouie131 A wizard of a ball handler. And I have always been a fan of his finishing. He can get anywhere he wants on the floor. However, his height limits him though in my opinion.
@@biggeneral1979tmac, Kobe,melo, kd, Paul George are all 1v1 assassins. With that being said I don’t think anyone can guard kd or lebron in any phase of their career.
@@biggeneral1979 I remember going to a Nets Magic game back when I was in middle school. I showed up like an hour and a half early and who was the only one working out on the floor......Tmac. He dropped 40 that night on Marbury and them. I would take him out of the group you listed above, because he had the least amount of talent on his teams in Orlando and had to go 1-on-1 a lot.
Best one on one player is Shaq! One miss and he is getting the rebound and backing you down putting his arm pit in someone's face.
Kyrie, A.I, Kobe, KD, Melo, T-Mac, Agent 0
The fact that Gil doesn’t have an apparel line or at the very least a tattoo that says “1-4 Flat” is absurd to me lol
Kobe wouldn't play Kyrie one-on-one at the 2012 Olympics practices. He probably sensed that Kyrie was partially insane on top of Kyrie's skill level.
If Kemba doesn’t get a mention I’ll be pissed! We talking about one on one can you stay in front???? For guards Kemba was a tougher cover than any small guard I’ve seen the difference between he and Ky is Ky has the best shotmaking and finishing ability for any player 6’3 and under in league history
Kimba was fire...but OF ALL TIME!? u trippin 😂

@@Autiscally-Himthat was one play stop kyrie was young also. Kobe ain’t guarding him up like that.
@@elislifestyle4605 bruh go watch games they played. Ky never got anything on him. Kobe's best defense was against dummies that liked to dribble around him. The ones that were like Gilbert Arenas who just went to his spot and didn't try to be fancy are the ones that got the better of him. He was literally a 1 on 1 player. Not an offensive player but a 1on1. Ky was young and still nobody but Kobe and jrue was locking him down, and again that was an old and injury riddled Kobe.... Young Kobe would've destroyed Kys soul.
@@elislifestyle4605 you just glazing is all
Cole said Kevin Garnett but I think he meant Durant 😂
Durant not cut from the same cloth as Garnett. KD lethal as a shooter, but Garnett a dog. In 1s where there's no help? Garnett clears fym
It works for both tbh. Kg face up game was nasty from mid range to post. Kd from the mid range to the Trey ball face up game is unstoppable too

A lot of the best 1 on 1 players aren't necessarily the "stars". They say Michael Beasley was known to kill people in 1 on 1. JR Rider was getting people. Cam Thomas is probably a modern player who is a monster 1 on 1.
