Who is the better basketball player, Michael Jordan or LeBron James? It's a question that basketball fans have asked, are asking, and will continue to ask well into the future. There's absolutely no way of answering it without starting a huge argument. But that's why it's such a fun question to ask. Everyone has an opinion on it.

What happens when people have too strong an opinion on it, though? Several people in the town of Baden, Pa. found out the answer to that question the hard way recently when they were hanging out at a restaurant called the Ba'runi Hotel & Grille. Two groups of men were having an MJ vs. LBJ debate when two men who were reportedly very, very intoxicated got so worked up about it that they ended up stabbing three people over it. One of the men Armando Encinas was arrested after the stabbing and charged with attempted criminal homicide and aggravated assault, while his uncle Michael Landeros was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and simple assault. Fortunately, none of the people who were stabbed suffered serious injuries. But it was no doubt a scary situation.
