The LeBron James vs Steph Curry debate may finally have been settled by one of their fellow NBA stars.

Across all sports, fans are always eager to compare the top players and determine who is the best in the world.

Although there are several huge names currently competing in basketball, James and Curry are two players that undoubtedly have earned a spot in the conversation over who is the best right now.

However, one of their fellow NBA superstars may have finally settled which of the two men is the better player after naming who would win in a 1v1 tournament.

In recent years, there has been huge debate over how the NBA should change the popular All-Star Weekend that takes place every February during the middle of the NBA regular season.

One suggestion is that all NBA players should compete against each other in a 1-on-1 tournament, with the winner earning the title of the league’s best player.

Ahead of the Golden State Warriors' Western Conference Semi-final match against the Minnesota Timberwolves, star player Draymond Green was pitched the idea and asked who he thinks would come out on top in the tournament, and he knew exactly who to say.

After confessing that he definitely wouldn't win it, Green confidently picked James to win the 1v1 tournament, snubbing Warriors teammate Curry.

At the age of 40, James has proven this season that he is still at the very top of his game and capable of competing with several of the sports much younger talents.

The Los Angeles Lakers star averaged 24.3 points, 9.0 assists and 7.7 rebounds in 48 games this season and recently became the oldest player in history to drop 40+ points in the single game.

He will once again have the chance to show off his talents on Sunday as he competes in his 21st NBA All-Star Game, after being selected as a starter to every single All-Star Game.

Should he be named the All-Star Game MVP for the fourth time in his career, he will join Kobe Bryant and Bob Pettit atop the all-time list.
