The NBA vs. NFL controversy has been re-ignited once again. The NBA and the NFL are the two biggest leagues in the United States. However, there has been a growing rivalry between both leagues as to who is more popular among fans. Now, none other than LeBron James has chimed into the debate. He also has a clear winner between the two!
In a blockbuster Christmas Day game, the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Golden State Warriors. With the game turning out to be an absolute cracker, the purple and gold brigade managed to pick up a thrilling 115-113 win. And this match, according to James, has been the deciding factor between who had the last laugh between the two heavyweight leagues. “I love the NFL, I love the NFL. But Christmas is our day,” said James.
