To be perfectly honest. I would have no interest in a 1 on 1 game.
Basketball is a team game and many skills like passing, playing in a defensive system and off the ball movement would be wasted.
And while a player like Bill Russell is one of the greatest 5 players of all time. He would fair poorly in a 1 on 1 game.
Someone like Vince Carter or Allen Iverson (who are top 50 but not on Russells level) would dominate.
Russel cannot score outside of 10 feet and much of his value was locked up in being the greatest defensive player of all time and rebounding.
Much of his defensive value was wrapped in bolstering his teams defense.
Not to crush your dream. I admire you for wanting to program your own game.
But since you asked my opinion. I think a 3 on 3 basketball sim would be a much better idea.
It would offer something different than standard 5 on 5 play but would allow a player to use his full range of skills.
I have always wondered how a team of say Michael Jordan, Bill Russell and Lebron James would do against Hakeem Olajuwon, Oscar Robertson and Kevin Durant.
A 3 on 3 game with all time greats would be incredibly interesting.
