In the battle of the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat, the teams may be close in talent but American people have already overwhelmingly decided who they’re rooting for and it’s not the squad led by LeBron James.

According to a poll conducted by ESPN, the percentage of Spurs supporters more than doubles the percentage of Heat supporters in this year’s Finals match (57% to 26%).

It’s even more stark when shown geographically:

Who says that America can’t come together and agree on anything?

It’s hard to tell if this is based off of residual “The Decision” hate and winners’ fatigue or if people really do find Greg Popovich to be that lovable (probably a little of both). Gotta go with the Pop love on this one.
