Remember when nikkas were saying Skip was outta line saying MJ would beat Bron 11-2 one on one. This dude Bron is a GREAT GREAT GREAT player but his strengths are not what you need for one on one. First of all, he's the greatest fast break player ever. In one on one, you never gonna be on the break. Second, he's one of the greatest passers ever. In one on one, you ain't got no one to pass it to. Third, he's an incredible pick and roll player. There ain't no one to give you picks when you playing one on one.
One on one is about your ability to create shots off the dribble. Kobe at an advanced age showed that if you ride Bron and force him left, he's gonna be forced into a bad jumper and most likely miss. Plus Bron's heart pumps kool aid. The nikka does not rise to the occasion when there is a mano y mano confrontation. Kobe was trash talking him the whole 4th quarter. Getting up in his grill full court. He wanted a one on one confrontation. But Bron not being the type of get into confrontations like this backed down.
Prime MJ would have beat Bron so bad he'd have that nikka crying for Gloria and Delonte.
