Thought Provoking Sports Question of the Day

[Anonymous519]

“If they played one-on-one on their best day who wins?”

• Larry Bird vs. Magic Johnson
• Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant
• Wilt Chamberlain vs. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
• Steph Curry vs. Pete Maravich
• Karl Malone vs. Dirk Nowitzki

Bird vs. Johnson: If Bird stays on the outside and shoots jumpers he wins. He is a better defender than most fans realize.

Jordan vs. Bryant: Michael was the greatest scorer ever and had moves that were unreal. But Kobe was not far behind. Great matchup but my money is on “Air.”

Chamberlain vs. Jabber: Power vs. finesse. Wilt was the most dominant force in NBA history. He would easily win this battle.

Curry vs. Maravich: This would be so much fun to watch. Maravich has dazzling moves and could score at will. Curry may be the best pure shooter ever. I like “Pistol” here.

Malone vs. Nowitzki: The power of Malone faces the will and ability to find the hoop of Nowitzki. Close matchup but have to go with Dirk.

Bird / Johnson
I go with Bird. Better Defender and better outside shot

Jordan/ Kobe
I like Mike. He just hates to lose

Chamberlain/ Kareem
Wilt was so freaking strong and Kareem had his Sky Hook. I think Wilt would wear him down.

Curry/ Maravich
Curry is a great outside shooter, but Pete was a dazzling ball handler. Pete

Malone / Nowitzky
Gotta go with the Mailman
