#1 Michael Jordan!

3 Wilt Chamberlain Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain was an American basketball player. He was born on August 21, 1936 in Philadelphia and died on October 12, 1999 in Los Angeles due to heart failure.

Wilt Chamberlain set the books by scoring the most points scored in a single game (100), most rebounds in a game (55), and most consecutive field goals (18).

He played for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Los Angeles Lakers. His biggest rival was former Boston Celtics center Bill Russell, but they are also good friends. He won 2 NBA Titles, 1 with the 76ers and one with the Lakers. ...read more.

Wilt has a 6-inch height advantage and an 8-inch wingspan advantage, plus a huge strength advantage.
Assuming the referees allow Wilt to take 4 steps when driving to the basket like they do for LeBron, the matchup would end early, as LeBron would be badly injured.

How many times did LeBron have 60 points and 40 rebounds in a single game? Wilt did it 6 different times, topped by a 78 point, 43 rebound game.

Wilt the Stilt gonna beat him one on one

4 Kevin Durant Kevin Wayne Durant is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and the Nets. He was MVP of the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals.

Everyone knows that he's a scoring machine but they underrate his defense. He gets plenty of blocks and can shut down players with his massive wingspan.

What! He already dominated James in the 2017 NBA finials

They are rivals but friends too.

5 Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.
6 Scottie Pippen Scottie Maurice Pippen is an American retired professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association.
7 Magic Johnson Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. is a retired American professional basketball player who played point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association for 13 seasons.

Gotta pick LeBron in this faceoff, its just not what Magic does best. HOWEVER in a 2-on-2 game with evenly-matched teammates, whatever team has Magic on it is going to win easily.

8 Stephen Curry Wardell Stephen Curry II is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is widely considered to be one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, if not the greatest. He is one of the most beloved stars in the NBA today, as well as one of the most controversial.
