Fan gets crying LeBron tattooed on leg while donning Jordan gear

Basketball fan Kalen Gilleese knows which side he's taking in the Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate for who's the greatest player in NBA history.

Gilleese is a Jordan supporter through and through, and with his body already covered in ink, the Salt Lake City native recently convinced his friend, tattoo artist Preston Schooley, to give him a crying LeBron face on his leg to show his disdain for The King.

"He likes to be a troll and this does the trick," Schooley told ESPN's Darren Rovell.

Gilleese - who was laughing with Schooley pretty much the entire time - was decked out in Chicago Bulls shorts and Air Jordans during the process, which took roughly three-and-a-half hours.

"I think LeBron is in the top five of all time, but he's not Jordan," Gilleese said. "I just get ticked off by everyone saying that. And I absolutely hate how LeBron flops."
