Few things in basketball are more captivating than watching two players go at it in a one-on-one battle.

While current Celtics players get to face off against the likes of John Wall and LeBron James, here is who they would want to take on in their dream one-on-one matchup:

Avery Bradley: Gary Payton for his underrated offensive abilities.

Jaylen Brown: Michael Jordan to “see what the hype was about.”

Marcus Smart: Magic Johnson for his movement and versatility as a big guard.

Jonas Jerebko: Larry Bird because of his game, grit and devotion to teamwork.

Al Horford: Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell to “see how they were at their prime.”
