Top 5 1V1 Rankings Going Into 2025... Should There Be Weight/Height Classes?

Explaining My Top 5 1V1 Rankings

[@ttggcc]

I think there should be height classes

[@divine-9112]

I feel like there should be a height limit tho

[@Rokkstxrdevon]

It’s 3-4 dribbles if they better they better

[@donovanware2200]

The size classes could be done if done right. Something like 5’2-5’6, 5’6 1/2- 5’10, 5’10 1/2 - 6’2 and etc. Then weight classes could be 150 and under, 151-180, 181-210 and etc

[@tajmirb.8979]

i don't usually watch your videos & i haven't tuned in to this one just yet but the title peaked my interest and made me want to share an idea i've had for a while pertaining to the online hoop community .. if yall ever really wanna take ones to another level the answer is yes , yall should have height based categories/competition .. not only that but there should be belts / championships of some sort .. somewhat how boxing / wrestling is run but w: all the competition under one roof .. for things to grow you gotta give em structure .. makes it easier for people to keep up w: the scene .. with that structure would come way more forms and avenues of content, create more stories, & weed out all the noise .

[@tajmirb.8979]

there should be about 3 types of classes and 3 types of " matches / belts .. each classes having its own belt / champion .. making 6 belts total .. classes: 6'0 & Under, 6'0-6'5, 6'6 & Over .. matches: 3 Dribbles, 5 Dribbles, & Unlimited.

[@J-Richhh]

Nas-Rob-Zaye-Friga-BJ Rob over zaye after the 2v2 zaye couldn’t bump Rob how he do everybody else and Rob out scored zaye 20-15 when guarding each other

[@DeeJay_VII]

Not even just that Rob played more possessions on defense so he has to deal with more fatigue & the refs didn’t call any fouls on the defenders when he was on offense.

[@Martialstony]

Lol

[@2kallday21]

There’s limited dribbles for a reason, I’m ok with no size classes

[@lesthegoattt]

This is a great point. I think for the TNC format height or weight is less of an issue compared to Junes League or Street Starz for players. The size issue is still prevalent is just increases when more physicality is allowed.

[@ItzARASA]

@@lesthegoattt But that's the thing, with four dribble you'd think it'd be harder for these bigger guys to get a bucket but it's not though. On offense the smaller guy will be getting hounded a lot if the guy is bigger and plays more physical depending on the environment and on defense the bigger buy IS also going to be more physical and most likely get a lot of foul calls in their favor. Four dribbles is a more of a dis advantage to the smaller guys that the bigger ones. Four dribbles may be more of a disadvantage than advantage for a smaller guy. It's limiting them both, keep in mind this only goes if their TALLER AND BIGGER (Iso A1 vs Iso Tae for example). I could see a match up between guys like BJ and Nes being more fair. Either way A disadvantage is a disadvantage, limited dribbles or not.

[@lesthegoattt]

@@ItzARASAFacts, well said!

[@AceBoogie301]

Big (6'8 and up), Wing (6'4 - 6'7) and Guard (5'8 - 6'3) height classes. Let the players decide what they are and if they want play in different height classes they can. Seeing a player hold multiple belts will be tough!

[@zay5454]

In my opinion there should be some sort of size classing. Most 1v1 sports with physicality have that size classing, so the competitors start off on an even playing field

[@lesthegoattt]

In yall opinion should the class system be based on height or weight, or both. To me personally height should be within 3 inches, weight causes the bigger issue in my opinion since it's such a physical game. The class cap could get tricky since I don't think it should be like boxing since the advantage is not as great maybe 8-12lbs idk I would have to see it first in a game. But at this point in the space idk if it's enough players to separate it by a class system though, eventually the opponents would get recycled. The YT basketball scene is growing at a rapid pace and this idea definitely should be discussed and explored!

[@ItzARASA]

I totally agree with this take. But with the space constantly growing I feel like you'll have to implement one sooner or later right? With this investment for John Bellion + the ppv even more guys with start coming into the space. I think it'll need to be put in place within the next 2 to 3 years.

[@ItzARASA]

In terms of the weight class situation, I completely agree. When/If you guys sit down and talk about this, using a UFC format which is a more prevalent weight class idea, imo.

[@malachiiwilson]

i get what you’re saying but nesco has been in the gym and in the 3v3 on OTD he looks like he can go toe to toe with them. i get some players will need the weight classes for height reasons but weight i think like B Ellis says “these guys need to get in the gym “

[@coachderek_c]

We definitely need height classes and probably weight classes too. I just need to see Slim vs. Ty Glover 1v1. 😅 I still don't know who can play against Bodybag though. 😬

[@marzelluspinder3190]

Slim and Ty played a 1v1 like two years ago bro

[@cahdeem0]

I think it's a lot of fan favorite bias around Friga cause I don't understand how he's above nesco, Friga wasn't winning consistently pre injury and his record in the past year is like 6-1 compared to nesco's like 15-3 and most of Nes's games are against people IN THE COMMUNITY, the top guys at that and half of Friga games are city stops.

[@p0ck3tp3ar]

Nesco is a hack.

[@s_vapors]

Finally someone addressed this. He has a huge fan base and some big losses. Everyone brings up old losses for certain guys, but people try to ignore Frigas losses saying he’s gotten a lot better since then (which is true, but unfair when that standard doesn’t apply to others). Sihimba beat him and this is the first time I’m even hearing his name get brought up in a top 10. Also I agree with you. His wins are very impressive, but the biggest ones were against guys that don’t have a reputation in the community. Friga is really good, but I just don’t think he’s top 5 yet. If he beats Nas in the PPV, then he’s definitely top 5 at that point, but I’d still like to see him play Zae and Rob. Also we need a Rob vs Nas game already

[@anthonycook7384]

Where would you put Friga if he beats Nas again tho

[@cahdeem0]

@@anthonycook7384 number 1 for sure

[@anthonycook7384]

@@cahdeem0 Same

[@isaiah.priester]

It makes sense to have these different classes but a guy like nesco is going to want smoke from everyone no matter their height or weight

[@bigmike13thgang3]

i dnt no about the weight class thing because i feel like nesco can hold his on against bigger guards now when u talk about bigs like 6’8 and up it might b a thing but nesco against bj i think would be a great game

[@Qb0516]

Rob is such a tough one to place because of inactivity but I don't see him losing many games against the other 4 or 5 names in conversation. I go Friga, Nas, Rob, BJ, Zaye. If Zaye can beat any of those names (or Nas) again I'd say he can go up to 1

[@dthreezy]

Why not do both?? Split it into weight height categories for a certain period of time, once the pecking order is established (based on wins and losses versus each other) have the top players from each weight class face off in a tournament to determine the Overall #1 one on one player …

[@edwinbrown2148]

The height/weight is valid for sure. Must happen.

[@DerrienPhillips]

Said this on last video. Size will matter always

[@edwinbrown2148]

Skoob vs friga is the match up😎

[@TheSpenceBoogie]

we gonna act like scoob didnt beat 6'7 ty from westcoast squad?

[@Kmathews28]

If uncle Skoob beats rob in 1s, I can’t put him in the top 5 due to losing to Rob in the first game scoreless. Same thing happened when he played Nas. Also, Qel beat him twice. I know Qel has been hurt but he deserves to be in this conversation as well. Also, it’s hard for me to put Rob over Friga for the same reason it’s hard to put Zae over Nas. Friga might have lost more but he has bigger wins and has been doing this for longer time than all of these guys. Rob is great but hasn’t been tested outside of TNC yet when it comes to ones. I just don’t see how you can use that logic for Nas and not for Friga. Friga deserves to be at 2 or 3 as well because he has beat Nas and BJ, who are two people on your top 5. Not coming at your list but giving some food for thought

[@tortugatough5852]

need like ufc rankings for sure

[@J-Richhh]

Thing is if you add weight classes who would be heavyweight besides Nas,zaye,Rob and maybe Bruce, we would see the same games over and over from those bigger people… it’s way more small guards than big guards. I can see height classes but weight? Nahh

[@mr.cantdorightt]

Nas, Zaye, Rob, Bruce, BJ, Sihimba, Lowkey Friga, & maybe Tae

[@J-Richhh]

@ bj is taller than them he isn’t close to their weights at all, and friga is a toss up like iso Tae, Bruce can slide in the heavy weight for sure though

[@mr.cantdorightt]

@ half of them weigh more than bj

[@apexonpaddles6532]

Fomby

[@furrypossum1498]

I dont think you can bump nas or friga until after this 1v1 matchup. Similar to the ufc standings. Its the only way to keep things consistent.

[@Wavyrosee]

Can’t wait for Rob to cook Skoob

[@marranrizz]

Weight shouldn’t matter it should be height classes 5’10 and under then 5’10 -6,1 then 6’1-64 then 6’4-6’7 and I say no weight because typically when you get on the court u naturally matchup based on height and with there being a dribble limit….also I think they should only play on nba 3point lines which moves the offensive players back so u can’t just post up when u do got a weight advantage

[@Husslenot1201]

Aren’t nesco and skoob in the same weight/height classes?

[@apex_predator6078]

Nah this ain't boxing or mma, we're trying to find out who's the best 1v1 HOOPER and size, height, weight are part of what makes a basketball player, its essentially part of their skill and repertoire.

[@AmillyMedia]

I feel this 100% cause that is what makes certain players special. I get both sides of it tbh. Curious to see where the space will land when it’s all said and done

[@ilynachooo]

@@AmillyMediaI totally understand why you think there should be weight/height classes but I think the beauty of the 1v1 space and the reason why people love watching it is because they get to see the best of the best go against each other. The grit these dudes come with it’s a survival of the fittest, they all want to prove why they are the best in the community, and what better way to do that then playing the best. I can understand the “fair shot” thing you mentioned but then again the beauty people love about the 1s space is that the best play the best.

[@s_vapors]

1. Nas 2. Zae 3. Rob 4. BJ 5. Uncle Skoob Rob can easily be number 1 once we see him playing more 1s again.

[@juju3x175]

Skoob over nes?

[@s_vapors]

@ ik Nesco beat him. I’d like to see them rematch. I wouldn’t be mad if someone ranked Nesco over Skoob, I just prefer Skoob. It really could go either way tho.

[@victororozco6903]

I do believe there should be a height class

[@trip9755]

You can’t say Skoob don’t got no big name win. BJ has none

[@marvelleonline]

No classes. Ther can be tiers tho. You tough enough to beat XYZ in the 2nd tier? Good, come at Tier 1 if you really wanna see where you at.

[@AmillyMedia]

Would be cool to see guys move up and down in tiers. Universal Ranking system is a must

[@trip9755]

Weight class makes no sense because they don’t tell LeBron you can’t hold Brandon Ingram because he is 40ibs heavier. Because the smaller players are faster play to your advantage

[@trip9755]

You can’t say Skoob don’t got no big name win. BJ has none of

[@furrypossum1498]

If there isnt a height or weight, 1v1 will turn into retired nba players.

[@furrypossum1498]

Maybe not weight, but def height

[@jaimescafegarage4111]

@ doesn’t matter, his W’s are vs great comp regardless that can’t be denied. Friga has L’s vs guys that the people in the top 5 and not in the top 5 have smacked, skoob doesn’t have a w vs anyone in the top 5 yet people still consider him that. Everybody has an L on their record that they shouldn’t.

Rob isn't top 5 anymore after his injury, over the last year he hasn't put in no work plus his deep 3 hasnt been falling and his driving to the cup isnt that great imo. My top 5 is Nas, Zaye, Friga, Skoob, Latin then nesco at 6

[@Wavyrosee]

Ur crazy saying Rob not top 5 look at the 2v2 Rob got robbed that game and he was killin zaye and nitty

[@lesthegoattt]

I think Rob is still top 5, but I agree for 2025 if he takes another long hiatus and other guys keep hooping it's hard to keep him up there. This space pumps out a lot of content and players can build a valid resume in a couple of months.

[@AtxFlips]

Lmao crazy list, so latin who had one insane day and has 1 actual 1v1 game played "put in work this year" 😂 is somehow above nesco and rob? Skoob lost to both
