STATE COLLEGE, Pa.— Police say an argument over whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is a better basketball player ended in a Pennsylvania man’s arrest on aggravated assault and other charges.

The Centre Daily Times reports that 22-year-old Daniel Mondelice was first arrested early Saturday after fighting with another man over whether Air Jordan or King James reigns supreme.

He was released on bond and told not to return to the apartment. But police were called again Saturday night when Mondelice became argumentative and refused to leave.

Online court records show Mondelice remained jailed Monday and was unable to post bail. A defense attorney wasn’t listed.

It wasn’t clear whether Mondelice was on the side of the Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer or the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar.
