While LeBron James' first season with the Los Angeles Lakers was largely a disappointment, it doesn't appear to have impacted NBA fans' opinions of him.
Using geotagged Twitter data from the past two months that tracked discussions about the "best" current players in the NBA, Sportsinsider.com put together a map of the United States depicting who is favored in each state. James won the most states of any player with 24, followed by Kevin Durant with 14, James Harden with 10, and Giannis Antetokounmpo with two.
