LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan. It's a debate that . The debate took an interesting twist, however, thanks to a recent poll by Public Policy Polling.
The group recently asked sports fans a variety of questions. One of those questions was, inevitably, James vs. Jordan.
Here who labeled themselves as NBA fans:
There's no such division when it comes to who NBA fans think is the best player of all time. 77% pick Michael Jordan on that question to only 14% who think it's LeBron James.
The last point was bolded for emphasis. James is 22 years younger than Jordan and only 54 percent of fans believe he has the upper hand in a one-on-one contest. Not only that, but another 12 percent were unsure about who would win.
We're talking about a current NBA All-Star who is averaging 28.4 points, 11.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists in the playoff series against the Bulls not being able to beat the 52-year-old owner of the Hornets.
MJ fans stay loyal.
— 19 percent of fans are pulling for the Warriors (the most) followed by 17 percent for the Bulls and 15 percent for the Cavaliers.
— 19 percent of fans pick Stephen Curry as their favorite player in the league. James comes in second place with 18 percent of the vote followed by Kobe Bryant (14%), Kevin Durant (13%) and Tim Duncan (10%).
