At Complex Sports, we’re aware of the problems that Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debates can cause. Whenever you walk up on one, whether it’s on your timeline or the locker room, the arguments are always scattered, and the conversation disparate. It never amounts to anything more than a contest between two men finding out who can yell NBA facts and stats the fastest and loudest.

But apparently, those knobs who argue for LeBron>>>>>MJ are making an impact in the American sports fan’s psyche. According to a poll from Public Policy Polling, 34 percent of NBA fans (1,471 people were surveyed) think that Jordan would beat LeBron in a 1-on-1 game RIGHT FREAKING NOW.

There’s no such division when it comes to who NBA fans think is the best player of all time. 77% pick Michael Jordan on that question to only 14% who think it’s LeBron James.
