Note to readers: Hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving! The Poll Dance is taking the long holiday weekend off. See you next Sunday, December 8, with a brand new PD!

Among sports’ myriad who’s-greater debates, this one surely leads the basketball world. And so we ask it today:

Who has had the greater NBA career, LeBron James or Michael Jordan? (The order of names is alphabetical.)

A quick refresher comparison in a handful of major categories:

LeBron -- 27.1 points, 7.4 assists, 7.5 rebounds, four league MVPs, four championships.

Michael -- 30.1 points, 5.3 assists, 6.2 rebounds, five league MVPs, six championships.

Have at it. You may vote as many times as you’d like or until your fingers get tired:
