Cristiano Ronaldo has settled the age-old debate between Michael Jordan and Steph Curry in NBA while ranking his all-time sporting GOATS.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has launched his own YouTube channel, titled 'UR'.

The Al Nassr star will show a different side as he engages with his fanbase, and even interview a number of guests from different worlds.

His other half Georgina Rodriguez is to be heavily featured and Ronaldo has already uploaded nine videos to his channel, where he has over 200,000 subscribers after launching.

And one bit of content sees the Portuguese legend choose between his favourite sports and idols in a 'This or That' type challenge.

Ronaldo had to tilt his head to the side to select his pick and right out of the bat, he went for NBA ahead of NFL in a sports section.

Then it was time for the former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar to decide between two legends of various sports.

He had immense difficulty when he had to seperate the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, The Rock and Hulk Hogan and Tom Brady and Tiger Woods.

But when it came to Jordan and Curry, there was no hesitation with Ronaldo's answer.

He immediately opted for the Chicago Bulls icon, who has six NBA championships to his name after two separate three-peats either side of a brief spell in baseball.

Golden State Warriors point guard Curry, fresh from his match-winning display for the US to clinch the Olympics final against the France, has regularly been compared to Jordan.

Curry's coach Steve Kerr, a former teammate of Jordan's, has made the very comparison and called him a "modern Jordan".

Curry gave a mature response and also gave his own take on the GOAT debate - explaining why it is flawed.

"I ascribe to the mindset that there are multiple GOATs," Curry said in an interview with Willie Geist on Sunday TODAY in 2023.

"And I hate that, it's not a cop-out answer, but it's so hard to compare eras.

"And getting into that conversation of 'oh if you put Michael in this era or if you put LeBron in that era,' it's kind of unfair. It's a great barbershop debate, and it's something that'll never stop until the end of time."
