James is one of the greatest players in NBA history, and has always been known for his career as an all-rounder and high-ball merchandiser. And James doesn't seem to be particularly good at this one-on-one fight. A few years ago, Heat reporter Tom Haberstroh said that during James' Heat, Beasley, who was on the same team, could always beat him one-on-one bullfight. Recently, Michael Beasley talked about some of his and James's heads-up secrets on the show.

Beasley won a $100,000 reward not long ago by defeating Stephenson 31-21 in a one-on-one match. Recently, the two of them were on a podcast show together, and Beasley was asked about the long-rumored news about his defeat of James in a one-on-one challenge. Beasley said: "Yes, the story has spread a long time ago. I beat James up at that time." Beasley's words made James' fans unable to sit still, and many people questioned Beasley's a bit exaggerated.

However, many fans expressed their support for Beasley, because Beasley's single-handed ability is indeed very strong. As the second-tier pick in 2008, Beasley's style of play is very gorgeous. His height reaches 2.08 meters and his ability to compete with excellent confrontation. In 1v1, Beasley will use the combined ball to complete mid-range shooting, making the opponent unable to defend. Durant is a recognized master of singles in the NBA, and even he admits that it is difficult for him to beat Beasley in singles.

And James's weak ability to fight alone is obvious to all. The late star Kobe Bryant once said that if he was a one-on-one challenge, he would defeat James because he was better at singles and James was more versatile. What Kobe said is true. In the final stage of the 2013 All-Star Game, Kobe defended James alone. He not only caused James to make a dribble mistake, but also gave James two big hats, and eventually defeated the East.

In addition, the previous video of the American men's basketball team training was leaked. James was fighting trainer Monty alone. In several rounds of competition, James made 1 of 6 shots and made multiple mistakes. During the previous trip to China, James was even snatched by fans and dunked and shot three-pointers.

Experts like Durant, Beasley, and Kobe all have strong ability to combine human-ball, while James is indeed relatively weak in this regard, which leads to his single-ball ability not being excellent. However, James is participating in the NBA game, not the 1v1 game. In the 5v5 game, the team is more focused on cooperation, as well as rebounding, passing balls, and fast breaking skills. These are what James is best at, so even if he has weak single-handed ability, he can still achieve great success in the NBA.
