Yes! Cope at SF and Carmelo at PF, keep doing this Woodson.Al Iannazzone @Al_Iannazzone about 17 minutes ago
Shumpert is starting at shooting guard with Kidd at point, and Chandler, Melo and probably Copeland up front.
FUCK YEAH. Can't wait to get home and watch the game.Frank Isola @FisolaNYDN about 15 minutes ago
And yes, Iman Shumpert's debut means we get the Kidd & Play backcourt.
Who would you most like to play one-on-one, either active or retired?
Jordan. No question.
What would happen?
Im not sure, but he would win some and I would win some in a seven-game series. It would probably come down to the last few shots.
You versus LeBron? Who wins?
Me. No question. As far as one-on-one, Im the best to ever do it.
Damn. Thats pretty confident.
LeBron is a terrific all-around, five-on-five basketball player whos an all-time great. But Id get him.
Who could get you?
Kevin Durant is the guy that would give me the most trouble. With his length and ability to use the dribble hed be tough.
I always wanted to see you play Tracy McGrady.
I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasnt even close. Ask him, hell tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball everyday. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldnt play anymore.
His back bothered him for most of his career.
Well, now you know.
What about Kyrie Irving?
[Huge smile, laugh.] Kyries my boy, but he knows he doesnt have anything for me. He doesnt want to see me. But it would be fun. Ive beaten a lot of guys one-on-one, like Reggie Miller and Grant Hill. I used to play Caron Butler all the time in practice when he was with the Lakers. When I was a rookie I used to get Nick van Exel and Eddie Jones. They know. Theyll tell you. They used to come at me hard but I wasnt having that. I love going one-on-one with someone. Thats what I do. Ive never lost. Its a whole different game, just to have them right in front you and be able to do whatever you want.

Why have you only won one MVP?
Because I played with Shaq. Its that simple. A lot of the time we cancelled each other out. I sacrificed a lot playing with him. I really did. I did it for the success of the team. If I never played with him, my numbers would have been ridiculous.
Could Kobe beat Cheryl Miller though?
And I know Kobe doesn't want any G-TYME 1-on-1.
G-TYME is the closest thing Kobe can get to a white girl on an nba team

Lebron would beat him 1-on-1, just like he does now. Kobe would live and die by the jumpshot, while Lebron would just back him down or drive right through him. Kobe's gonna have issues guarding Lebron, while Lebron is an elite man defender when he puts in the effort. In a 1-on-1 situation, I imagine he'd go all out at it on both ends.
To be fair, Kobe is a SG at the end of his career, while Bron is a PF masquerading as a SF in his prime. It's hardly a fair fight. I've always liked Kobe's confidence though. Unlike Monte, he has the chops to back it up. PEACE.
