The BEST 1v1 Players In NBA History - กีฬา
Its messed up how 3 of the players on this list are on the same team right now
Its crazy because these 3 were my top 3 current favorite players for a while and now they’re all on one team. It’s hard not to root for them
my favorite nba players
W
Yessir that’s my boys in Brooklyn
@ANEESH ANAND Lakers and net who you got
I like how the nets big 3 on this this list. 😂
lm dead😂😂
Lol truuuuuee
That does not sit well with me. But I love it nonetheless🤣🤣
Fo real
For sure.🔥🔥😸
I agreed with Kobe had many moves and counter. His work ethic was insane. He even combined MJ, Hakeem, nowitzki moves to perfection. There will be no player like Kobe again ever.
I agree MJ1 Kobe2 pick a third I like wade or AI
@@shanecordova6970 I agree
@@shanecordova6970 where lebron?
@@asr1414 i think he's just talking about sg which lebron isn't which is why he said wade or ai after
BRO imagined if he played in this new era nad if he combines a lil bit of curry's 3pt to his arsenal cuz he can if he wants to
3 of these players are currently on the same team 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
They played like 16 games in two years 😂😂😂
There's a reason why Brooklyn is called "iso gang"
Big 3 up in this bitch
@@FinallyUnBanned ain't got no D ain't got no bench
@@mankitsuhappening8552 fuck a pass i iso that shit
@@johndoe37893 Yeah , we in Brooklyn where its colder
@@mankitsuhappening8552 i put the city on my shoulder
Love seeing MELO get his credit
Yeah many people forget him
@@guts9148 very true !
subscription for the melo spot on the list, my favorite player
Had no idea Kobe had 12 all NBA defensive teams. That's very impressive!
He did technically, but even Phil Jackson said he got a LOT of them just because of who he was, not because he earned them.
Kobe was a great defender, but he last 5-6 seasons he was just a good defender, but still got selections.
@@ostrich6175 Finally someone speaking the language of facts
@@ostrich6175 If that was true how come he didn't get more mvps especially yet years he was robbed u people kill me with that instead of just giving the man credit
@@terricarter9435 I said he's slightly worse of a defender than people think, and your response is "why didn't he get more MVPs,??"
That makes no sense whatsoever
@@ostrich6175 It made perfect sense if Phil and what you are saying is tru that his reputation got him those nba defensive selections how come that same reputation wasn't held in high regard when he got robbed those mvps? No1 was just picking him off reputation
T-Mac aka Tracy McGrady needs to be on this list
My sentiments exactly
True that, prime Tmac was as good as KD is but more athletic. KD shoots better
@Gerb Jordan is lol
0:25 Carmelo Anthony
1:30 James Harden
3:00 Kyrie Irving
3:45 Allen Iverson
4:44 Michael Jordan
6:00 Kevin Durant
6:57 Kobe Bryant
Wilt Chamberlain Shaq Curry Russel Westbrook and bill russell should be on this list
Russel was a great player but he wasnt not a great iso scorer. He was a MUCH better defender + leader.
correction wilt and chamberlain and shaq is a 1 v team
1v1 against anyone, the big guys are probably gonna be the best. Imo, put Wilt in any era and he beats pretty much everyone 1v1
Bill Russell??? 💀💀💀
shi if anything Tmac should be on this list
Where shaq and Kareem, one of them had the most unguardable shot and the other ran through the entire defense then slam dunked
They are a 1v5 players
Cause they are big men
The ball would get stolen so much and it doesn’t make sense to put them on the list
Learn your basketball and stop being biased
@@jaxxop660 Damn dawg, it’s just an opinion
Shaq yeah, Kareem? No, guy was playing against Plummer’s and chiefs, basketball was not as nerdy as it is now by statistics and science, training camps etc.. there wasn’t even a step back when Kareem played.
@@BruceWaynesFactory Kareem averaged 20 points in his late 30’s in the late 80’s what the fuck are u talking about
2:23 that refs face impression lol
very good video :D
Love these videos
I love this video
Iso Joe.
Nice love it!
Durant and Brandon Ingram have the perfect body structure for the modern league. A slight yet long frame with the abilities of a combo guard. It’s literally unguardable when a dude that tall and long can hit shots the second he crosses the half court line. Bol Bol fits that kind of frame, hope he figure out to use it effectively in the league.
The only problems he has are
1. More muscles
2. He needs to stop playing point and be a small forward
3. More quickness
4. Confidence
@@markanjelloagrabio7515 kd is the quickest SF in league nobody can stay i front of him not even giannis. Also, he can point because he has really good handles, and a good passer too
So, there was no NBA before the nineties...
facts pawg about harden
I love ur videos, this is great!!!
Talk to me
well, you missed curry, shaq and larry legendary.
Hakeem and Dirk too
Fax... 3 of my favorite players especially Legend (even though i wasnt even alive when he played)
giannis lebron dirk etc
dream too
Larry was a fucking problem. I mean, yes:)
AI is one of the most underrated players in the history of the NBA next to Hakeem
im gonna say any one who underrates hakeem is clueless... AI one of the best handlers too.
that's not true AI is in everyone's top 20-40 he is NOT underrated
Bruh. My man said AI is underrated 😐😐😐. He’s the most influential player ever in 00’s basketball, and Kobe too.
I disagree with the Iverson take because a lot of people really Overrate him just because of the 1 Playoff run to the Finals he had in 2001 and what's even more Overrated about him is he played more seasons where he missed the Playoffs than seasons where he made the Playoffs and only shot 41% from the floor in his entire Career so there shouldn't be any argument for Iverson over guys like James Harden because those guys were Regular Season winners which Iverson wasn't a Regular Season winner.
THANK YOU OMG!!!!!!
I love ur vids they are great!
Players:
- Carmelo Anthony
- James Harden
- Kyrie Irving
- Allen Iverson
- Michael Jordan
- Kevin Durant
- Kobe Bryant
every time kobe appears on any video "just like jordan" is always mentioned.
Love this videos ❤️❤️❤️
Sheesh Nonstop with some Nonstop bangers 🤙
The disrespect on Dirk
and Hakeem
the disrespect to not put hakeem on this list, easily the best one-on-one center the league has ever seen
LOV UR VIDS KEP IT UPPP
GREAT VIDEO
Harden also poops his pants as an offense tactic :D
Nah that’s Paul pierce
@@golfkiddo738 Him too :D
Nope
Do the best player drafted from each round
Harden is the best "iso" player in history. He is top ten in TS in history too.
Cap
Wrong. Olajuwon was the best iso ever. Im not hating on harden. I like his game. Olajuwon was a whole other lvl of monster.
Best iso player? No way
Kobe Bryant
Without foul baiting Harden is just an above average player. Come playoff time he would forget how to shoot as well 😂😂😂
Nice
The ref’s face when harden got a block 😂😂😂
Love the vids
Love ur vids
top 10 1v1 yes sir
Love these vids!
Love it😍
This is great
Did he just say kyrie is the best ball handler to ever live?? AI would like to talk to you
Even AI has admitted it. And it's pretty obvious Kyrie is better
do a part two
This channel never disappointed me
I knew this whole list but, there are a couple that were left off T-Mac
Tmac? Agent 0?
you gotta make a part 2 HAHAHAHA there's CURRY,SHAQ and others you didn't mention
curry is the best 1 vs 5 player
If anything, Shaq is a 1.5 vs. 1 player
Nah.
Curry cant be on this list because because he's too small for a 1v1 situation. While you could say the same thing about AI, Harden and Kyrie, the latter 3 can resort to drives and finish at the rim. While Curry is still a respectable rim finisher, he's not just as offensively versatile as the other 3 here.
A common theme among the best iso players is that they are lethal anywhere from the court, so they can score over most defenders in a 1v1 situation. While Curry is the most lethal shooter ever, against guards that are both quick and sticky, he's offense will be limited.
As for Shaq, while no one will stop him from scoring, he wont be able to defend the perimeter either, so he's probably not as good in a 1v1 situation as you think.
@@jNdeeeeee i agree a lot about shaq
curry is off ball player
Wilt
Part 2 please for some other players too like tmac and curry
In a few years I expect Luka doncic will be on this list
No Hakeem The Dream and Larry Bird? You need to do a part 2
Hakeem isn't really known for scoring. Actual god to me but he ain't no scorer. Larry legend on the other hand id agree.
@Gerb So anyone that can crossover is a good 1v1 player? What the fuck is that logic lmao
@@gahansambhar4337 A player that scored almost 27K points wasn't a scorer? He's #14 all time among NBA points scored along with being one of the best defenders ever. Define what you mean exactly.
@Gerb 21-0? No
Dream of course 💪💪💪💪
Jaylen Brown next video Nonstop Sports 💪💪💪
Kd hands down
Hell no. Olajuwon. Dude, Phil Jackson refused to dbl team. He was adamant about one on one defense. Except when he played the rockets. He would not hesitate to send the whole team at Olajuwon to get the ball in anbody else's hands. He was totally unguardable one on one. The entire league for years and years knew if they didnt dbl and trpl team him for most the game they would lose. The rockets didnt have many plays. Just get the ball to Olajuwon.
“He’s the best ball handler that ever lived” LMAO
2:23 the refs eyes tho 😳
It may sound weird but guys like Jamal Crawford and Paul George should be on the list, both of them when are hot just can break anyone ankles and make a jumper or pull up from anywhere
3:35 Washington generals hahaha😂
when you now realized why nets lost.. they only passed the ball to KD when you have the Beard to take over
Actually, in my opinion it's more satisfying to so a team with great teamplay completely destroy a team that relies on some superstar carrying.
one word
*BIRD*
Russ, surely is the most op 1v1 player, only against KD😂
facts or against curry or lillard
The most ofensive skilled player to ever play, THE MOST, Kobe mfkin bean Bryant the man himself hands down
honorable mention ISO JOE
Bro where is Chef Curry Pls tell me you have part2
2:45 voice crack
The most amazing thing is how the NBA ever survived all the way from the 40s to the end of the 80's without one single damn player on this list!!! I guess defense was all the old players and fans were interested in until MJ came along and shone the light on being an offensive juggernaut!! Forever learning about the sports I've loved for so long here on YT! Thanks for sharing!!
Many of talents and more crafted players were in the aba before the merger. And just skill wise the new guys is always going to prevail just because they can learn from the old and do something better of it. For example Vince carter is a great and crafty dunker and obviously more crafty than DR J. And if you did a top 3 best dunkers you probably wouldn’t find dr j on that list. But he was still a good dunker for his time
Kobe had a secret shot from midrange they say he plays like Jordan but Kobe a little deadlier his baseline turn around fade jumper not fade away it's a jumper and he would use that in tough times and he could score 4 or 5 times straight that use to devastate players rip Kobe I love u
It’s so ironic that he said in no particular order, but proceeded to go in order. Smooth.
it’s crazy how underrated james harden still is
He is not underrated, he is overhated
Facts especially on an All Time scale because
1. He's the Greatest Regular Season performer of All Time.
2. He's the Greatest Left handed shooter to ever play.
3. He's probly the Greatest 1 v 1 and Isolation player to ever play.
4. He's the Greatest foul drawer of All Time.
5. He perfected the Step back which his step back to Greatest the game has ever seen.
And 6 is a questionable one for me because at
6. You could make the argument that he will go down as the Greatest Offensive player to ever play when his Career is over especially with all of the go to moves he has and uses right now to change the way the game is played
And
7. If he wins a ring and Finals MVP this season then he's heading straight into my top 15 of All Time which the best spot I could put him at is 12 over Bill Russell, Steph Curry, Moses Malone and Oscar Robertson but no where higher than that until he wins a couple of more MVPs or Rings.
i think russ gets a spot on here or atleast an honorable mention
Agent zero deserves to be on this list somewhere
Who is winning the championship this year ?
Knicks
actually Phoenix
KD when Broklyn Nets
wizards
@@abelevy1 who do you have coming out the west ?
Westbrook is a really good 1v1 player because he can defend and score and rebound basically on anyone
Yeah you better note the 🖤ISO GANG🤍
2:25 man that expression by the ref !
Bernard King should be on this list
starting to make sense why over half this list are some of my top 10 favorites of all time
Rest In Peace kobe
The fact that Wilt Chamberlain is not in this video is disgusting. He would beat every person in this video.
There is one man who has iso in his name. Iso-joe
No Doctor J? Get real.
Sr. Charles wasn't wrong...Harden was dribble dribble dribble, shoot (sometime passes).
Hot take: Hakeem should be in this conversation
yea
I don’t think that’s a hot take. His footwork is CRAZY!!!
100%
Dream should NOT be in this conversation. Hakeem is an iso god. Those others were pretty good.
I like the true facts about Harden.
Anyway, haters gonna hate
Do a best 1v5 players:
Kareem
...
Let me ask you this: Do you think any of these guys could stop Wilt? MAYBE Carmelo, but not consistently. This list has a single definition of 1v1 and doesn't stop to consider anything else.
7:02
Non stop -you'd want them to be an exceptional ball-handler- shows kd dunking
You'd want them to be an exceptional shooter-shows kd blocking somebody
Hear me out:
Magic Johnson
Allen Iverson
Larry Bird
Charles Barkley
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Vs.
Steph Curry
Kobe Bryant
Lebron James
Kevin Garnett
Shaquille O'Neal
All players in their prime, 5 v 5
I just love this video so much. So many facts espically when he was talking about harden. Ima die hard harden fan and it’s crazy how much hate he gets, people say he can’t defend and y’all heard it from the man himself, people call him a ball Hog when he’s leading the league with the most assist (11.4 assists)
Sad how he had to go to the Nets just for people to see how unselfish he is. Because hes playing next to two other superstars, but while he was in houston he was labeled as a ballhog and dribble maniac all the way until he got traded. The dude is seriously a top 10 offensive player of all yime and his defense isn’t half bad
@@user_Z- Fr Bru, people in Houston were calling him selfish and when he got traded and now the rockets didn’t even make the playoffs.
And what's sad about that is he doesn't get glorified as a top 25 player of All Time as of right now and I'm sure if people didn't hate on him that much then he would've been in people's top 25 Greatest players discussions instead of top 40 and 50 but since people hate on him we won't see many people ranking him over guys like Curry All Time if he wins a ring and Finals MVP but I guess the only people who will be keeping Curry above Harden All Time even if Harden wins a ring and Finals MVP are the Curry fans especially the ones that comment paragraphs on instagram talking about a player's Overrated Career and if you know who Northern Nation is on Instagram you will know the stupid paragraphs I'm talking about that they comment about players.
Harden is an ok defender if he wants.
Where's Hakeem Olajuwon, Jamal Crawford, Steve Francis, T-MAC, and Shaun Livingston?
Lmao of course the thumbnail is Jordan being guarded by a small white guard.
I love it how there is 3 current nets on this list
Wade should be up there he just passed alot the goat
To me the best 1vs1 player is Kobe Bryant. No one can stop him cuz he has move that can counter the toughest defender. The fact that he can combine Jordan, Hakeem, and so many other legend move in one move is incredible. There will never be another player like Kobe that can be so tactical as Kobe
Nah Mj is
Nah I agree with you, and the fact he’s one of the best two way guards to ever live, he’s just the definition of 1v1 goat
Hey where is the ICEMAN
I feel like jordan, kobe and kd are the 3 best individual players for a 1v1 game, for me it’s kobe tho… kyrie if he was a little taller would be up there for sure aswell
