The strongest single-handed match in NBA history: Doncic is at the bottom, Jamway is 4th, Oden is 3rd, and one player is 1st

Players who can play in the NBA are still very strong in basketball, but because these are the places where the best basketball players in the world can gain a foothold, many people have to show off their best side, but instead ignore their basic skills. They are very strong in taking a single player to fight alone. The US media FW also divided the one-on-one fighters in history, let’s take a look.

Fifth level

Fifth level are some players with excellent singles skills, including Joe Johnson, Arenas, Booker, DeRozan, Dantley, Drexler, Rick Barry, and Doncic. The nickname of Joe alone is enough to prove that his strength is difficult to be limited in the same position in his singles ability. At its peak, Arenas was also able to compete with Kobe in the same game. Booker is also the league's number one point guard at the peak, and the mid-range is also incomprehensible. DeRozan is a famous middle distance master in history. You can always believe in his middle distance at critical moments.

Dantley won the scoring champion and was also a very outstanding singles player; Drexler, the West Jordan Glider, led the team to the finals. Rick Barry faced Chamberlain's 76ers in the finals, and averaged higher points than Chamberlain. Doncic is only ranked fifth, averaging 27+ per game for many years. Relying on rhythm changes to punish opponents is still somewhat underestimated.

Fourth level

Fourth level players have been very difficult to defend alone at their peak, such as James, Pierce, Bird, Wade, Jerry West, Wilkins, Big O and Rose. The peak James is already hard to stop with his physical fitness alone, and he has a defender-like speed. Pierce is also a player who plays on rhythm, and his back and middle distance are very stable. The same goes for Bird, who tells you where he will end, but you still can't defend him.

Wade still maintains the first-rate efficiency value in the history of the finals, and he was able to achieve undifferentiated singles at his peak. The Flash's speed is not a prank. Jerry West was already a top pitcher without three-pointers, and once averaged 44 points per game in a single-round series. One of the best athletic players in Wilkins history. Big O is the first player in history to average triple-double per game, and a point guard averaged 30+ per game in 6 seasons, so his scoring ability is obvious. Ross' first step at his peak was also the fastest in the league, without slowing down and changing directions. There are only 5 players in the third tier, Harden, Anthony, Irving, McGrady and Lillard. Harden was indeed a big killer during the Rockets era. He was proficient in step back, three-pointers, and fouls. His strength and speed were both top-notch at the same position, and basically no blind spots in the offense. Anthony is also an offensive kaleidoscope, with many fake offenses and a rich arsenal, making it difficult to defend. Irving is one of the best players in history and is able to do many incredible moves.

The fastest first step of the McGrady League at its peak, and it is also a solution to the problem, which means that the later injury has too much impact. Lillard is in the third place, and there is still a lot of controversy. Although Lillard has a very long shooting range, you should know that even Curry, the first scorer in history, is not on the list. Lillard obviously should not be at this level, and compared to Doncic, Lillard's single-handed ability is still slightly inferior.

Second level

The second level has only three players, Kobe, Durant and Iverson. Kobe is the closest player to Jordan in history. He has a very comprehensive skill set. Jordan's skill package is basically available, and he also learned the big dream with Olajuwon, which also makes Kobe have many scoring records, including 81 points in a single game, 60 points in retirement battle, etc.

Durant is indeed ranked in this position, has indiscriminate singles ability, and his offensive ability can be comparable to Jordan, especially his mid-range shooting ability. He is one of the best in history. He is not as fast as him, and he is not as fast as him. Iverson is a little controversial in this ranking, and it is very fast, but the offensive efficiency is not high.

The first level

The first level is Jordan, which is not controversial. The 10th scoring champion is enough to prove how strong the singles ability is, and averaging 30.12 points per game is also the first in history. Jordan suffered strong defenses in many moments, and it was no longer a one-on-one challenge, but Jordan could still score with his talent and skills, his offense was stable and difficult to defend. What do you want to say about this division?
