Michael Jordan or Steph Curry? Cristiano Ronaldo picks between the 2 basketball icons
Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has made his pick between basketball legends Michael Jordan and Steph Curry. The 39-year-old did so in his newly launched YouTube channel titled 'UR Cristiano'.
Ronaldo created a record of sorts, becoming the fastest to reach one million subsribers on YouTube, needing just an hour - as per The Sportzine - breaking the previous mark by six hours.
In a fun This or That segment uploaded on his channel, Ronaldo made his picks between two choices of sports or sportsmen by simply tilting his head in that direction. When it come to picking between six-time NBA champion Jordan and four-time champion Curry, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner went with Jordan.
The entire interaction went as follows:
"NFL or NBA: NBA"
"UFC or Boxing: UFC"
"Golf or Tennis: Tennis"
"Moto GP or F1: F1"
"Djokovic or Nadal: None (after a brief pause)"
"The Rock or Hulk Hogan: The Rock"
"Michael Jordan or Steph Curry: Michael Jordan"
"Tom Brady or Tiger Woods: Tom Brady"
Both Jordan and Curry are widely regarded as two of the best players in basketball. While the former retired nearly two decades ago after winning six Championships with the Chicago Bulls, Curry - still active - has won four titles with the Golden State Warriors.
