US media rated the top ten singles in the league last season: Irving ranked 9th in 255 times, James ranked 5th, and top 673 times

In the NBA game, single-handed challenge ability is often a key indicator for measuring the ability of stars to solve the problem. The US media NBA University posted the single-handed challenge data of NBA players last season on social media, including the number of single-handed matches and scores per round. Follow the author to review the 10 single-handed challengers with the most single-handed matches last season, including veteran superstars and up-and-coming shows.

10. Ban Kairo (229 rounds, 0.97 points per round)

As the youngest player on the list, Ban Kairo showed mature singles skills that were not consistent with his age. His physical confrontation and footwork are excellent, and his efficiency of 0.97 points is even higher than that of many All-Star players. He is expected to become the absolute core of the Magic in the future.

9. Irving (255 rounds, 1.06 points per round)

Irving's singles efficiency (1.06 points) is the same as Harden, but the number of rounds is relatively small. His ball-handling skills and finishing touch are still top-notch in the league, especially his difficult finishing ability at the basket, making him one of the most difficult 1v1 players to defend.

8. DeRozan (258 rounds, 0.94 points per round)

DeRozan is a master of traditional middle-distance singles. Although the three-pointer threat is insufficient, his back-to-body singles and emergency stop jump shots are still efficient. The score of 0.94 points per round is not top, but his stability at critical moments has always trusted his singles ability.

7. Brunson (268 rounds, 1.07 points per round)

Brunson further proved himself to be the Knicks' number one offensive core last season, and his singles efficiency (1.07 points) even surpassed Harden and Tatum. His dribbling rhythm and throwing skills, coupled with his excellent foul-making ability, make him one of the most underrated one-on-one fighters in the league.

6. Durant (277 rounds, 1.16 points per round)

Durant is the most efficient player on this list, and his terrifying output of 1.16 points per round is worthy of the name of "Death". Although the number of singles is not the largest, Durant's indiscriminate singles ability is still the only one in the league. He is almost unable to defend at mid-range pulls, and his stability at critical moments is unmatched.

5. James (278 rounds, 0.92 points per round)

40-year-old James can still be among the top five in the singles list, which shows his historically-level ball-holding ability. Although his singles frequency is not as frequent as his peak, his score of 0.92 points is still higher than the league average per round. His back-to-back singles and tank breakthroughs still give defenders a headache, especially in the playoffs, James' singles are still one of the Lakers' most stable offensive weapons.

4. Edwards (405 rounds, 0.91 points per round)

Edwards is one of the most single-handed rounds among the new generation players. Although there is still room for improvement in efficiency (0.91 points), his explosiveness and confrontation finishing ability are impressive. Last season, he relied on his personal abilities to solve problems many times at critical moments. With the improvement of technology in the future, his singles efficiency is expected to be further improved.

3. Tatum (480 rounds, 1.01 points per round)

Tatum ranked third in singles rounds. Although his efficiency (1.01 points) is slightly lower than the top level, his one-on-one ability is crucial in the Celtics' tactical system. His three-point shots and back-to-body singles have made significant progress, especially when facing a misaligned defense, Tatum has a very high scoring grasp.

2. Alexander (533 rounds, 1.1 points per round)

Alexander has grown into a new generation of singles masters in the league. Last season, he averaged only second to Harden's singles per game, but scored better in 1.1 points per game. His mid-range pull and breakthrough rhythm are extremely threatening, and his excellent foul-making ability makes him the most reliable end point on the Thunder's offensive end.

1. Harden (673 rounds, 1.06 points per round)

Although Harden is no longer at the peak, his one-on-one ability is still top-notch. Last season, he ranked first in the league with 673 singles, and his efficiency of 1.06 points per round was also quite impressive. Harden's rhythm changes and three-pointers backward are still the nightmare for defenders, especially his ability to foul at critical moments, which makes him still one of the most difficult singles to limit.
