NBA best 1 on 1 player since 1980 poll
vote just like it is a bracket style tourney of the sweet 16. Jordan plays Ewing 1st round...Bird plays Olajuwon etc...

this is based on if they played one on one, make it take it, to 21.

Take into account that everyone is in the prime of their careers here

Tough draw for D Wade. Oh by the way Wade owns the 1-on-1 matchups between these two

I think Bird would kill Hakeem, especially if it were "make it, take it" cause Hakeem wouldn't get the ball back

It would be possible if everyone on their respective teams fouled out and there is only MJ and LBJ left to finish the game.
