6 players that would beat LeBron James 1-on-1

I think that LBJ is probably the best one-on-one player in the history of the game because of his size combined with his strength and quickness.

However, at his peak, Wilt was very agile, a great defender, and would have severely limited second shot opportunities by smaller guys like Kobe who have sub-45 percent lifetime FG percentages. Bad shots in a game against Wilt would be deadly in a one-on-one game and I don't think he would have given up many successful dunk attempts.

Wilt may be one of the best pure athletes to ever play in the NBA, and has been referred to as probably the strongest player to ever play in the NBA too.
