LeBron: I’d beat Kobe 1-on-1 (stop asking) | Video

No, it’s not a question LeBron James wanted to answer.

And, yes, the Miami Heat forward came off annoyed it was asked in the first place.

But that’s what happens when you make promotional appearances, particularly in places where the question hasn’t already been asked incessantly.

This time, London was calling.

So what does LeBron think about his chances if going one-on-one against Kobe Bryant?

Here’s what:

    ” I love the NBA. And I want (for my own selfish reasons) them to shake hands and resume the games. But if they decide to explore other methods (Europe, Asia, the new and improved American Basketball Association next season – dig those red, white and blue basketballs!) or whatever, that’s their lives and careers, not mine, so it would be ridiculous for me to take it so personal (looking @ you, JD, you need to calm down, big fella)”

    I am not taking it personally, just saying that the players are being misinformed and illogical. They really DO NOT have better options at this point. They would be ruining their own careers for no reason at all. If that is what they want, I am fine with that, it is their choice, but it doesn’t make it any less dumb.

    Also, it at least has to be the choice of the majority, not some 30 player reps. If the majority rejects the deal, at least they can blame themselves later and not just one of their teammates.

    Oh and even arguing between Shaq and Wade and who was more important to the Heat is dumb. I know that it is mostly one raving lunatic with a Wade obssesion, but still. The fact is that Wade was the best and the most important player on the Heat ever since the 2005 playoffs. Shaq missed a huge part of those playoffs and Wade led 2 sweeps without him. Then in 2006, he was BY FAR the best player on the Heat and that is something that even Shaq would not argue. Wade led the way, not just in the finals, but the whole playoffs and regular season. Shaq was important, but Wade was the leader and best player on the Heat ever since the 2005 playoffs. So even without his amazing finals, Wade gets the majority of the credit for the 2006 championship. Shaq even said that Wade “won one for the big fella.”

    • God says:

      Um, Shaq only missed a grand total of two playoff games (in the 2nd round against Wash) in ‘05 & ‘06 combined.

    Yes Lebron would kick Kobe’s arse to a one on one and Kobe is better than Wade so Lebron would destroy Wade to a one on one!

    Toe Nail Princess learn your role………your Robin to Lebron’s Batman!

    8. During recent negotiations, reporters continuously tweeted and wrote articles citing “anonymous sources” saying that we were closer to a deal then we actually were, or that progress was being made. Why do reporters keep giving false hope to fans?


  7. Jerxx103rd says:

    The question that should have been asked was do he think he can actually shot better than kobe cuz Lefraud jump shot is cold garbage an kobe jumpshot is $$$$$$$ an his freethrows or like free $$$$$ Lefraud mite beat him racing to the rim but outside that paint its all day 4 kobe an thats a fact!

  8. phil says:

    wade is not better than Kobe

    Im not sure Kobe is done yet either

  9. phil says:

    lebron can put up stats like no other

    but kobe finds a way to win

  10. Mike says:

    Who cares who would win one on one it wouldnt mean anything unless they played more than 1 game….they’d have to play a series of games and would have to decisively win every game to prove without any doubt who is better. Has it ever occurred to you people that players can be equals? That on any given night wade can hand lebron his ass and on another lebron might own him etc etc. in my mind there is not top player because the top player would be someone who could always destroy the other and that Is just not possible when guys are Of equal caliber. There is no top player only top caliber Wade lebron Kobe

  11. Dave says:

    I don’t even think the question makes sense. One’s really a forward and the other a guard. I happen to think that the best player all-time is Kareem but I don’t think he’d even beat Aaron Brooks 1-1.

  12. Ozzmosis says:

    really! this again and how many rings does Lebron have? that’s right a BIG 0. no more should be said.

  13. MSBIZNEZLDY says:

    Well, I am so tired of these owners and everybody just looking at the money with all the money they make and the fans is spending, lets just say the NBA players are the employees and they can negociate their contract and what they want, yes the owners are the company but without the employees there is no company and that is what they fell to realize its the players out their working to keep the owners in business….so lets play ball and come to some agreement because their is too much money to go around if people just stop being greedy and be fair things will work itself out.
    Far as Kobe and LeBron…..Kobe plays with Heart and LeBron play with skills but the one who will endure to the end will be the one that plays with Heart…Now Wade is the man because he also plays with Heart and I think it will be a fight to the end with Kobe and Wade but lets not forget Kobe not only plays he studies the game on and off season and he conditions the same way because Basketball is his life and his love and passion and he know every angle and every part of the game like the doctor would know how every part of your body work…I don’t take anything against LeBron because I love him as well but I wish he could of took Clevland to a championship he was the star of the team and he could of work to get someone like Kobe and Shaq….like Jordan and Pippon….Pierce and Garnett….Nash and Stedamire…so see Lebron just need an anker man. But all these players are good in their own way because they all are pros and it doesn’t matter who can beat the other one on one because basketball is a TEAM sport there is no I in TEAM. I LOVE THE GAME OF BASKETBALL…AND LOVE AND BASKETBALL…SO LETS GET OUT OF THIS LOCK AND LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

    LeBron, Kobe, Wade……they are all equally great players, at their positions. That being said, why hasn’t anyone thrown the likes of Durant, Rose, Paul, or even Howard into this mix? Howard is in a league of his own at the center position, far better than any of his position counterparts. So why not call him the best? A better one on one match up, & much more entertaining, would be to put Rose against Wade. And why not match up LeBron against Durant? At least they play the same position. Kobe’s best days are behind him, I’m afraid, because no matter how hard a player trains, nobody can beat father time. One last thing…..I know this was about active players, but until one of these guys (or anybody) becomes the one that every other player is rated by, there is only one person that was the complete player. He was great in all catagories & proved his greatness over & over again. His name was Michael Jordan, & he still needed role players, like Pippen, Grant, & Rodman to win. But as stated by fans in some of the comments above, basketball is a team sport. Now, let’s just hope there is a season for us to enjoy. Peace.
