SALT LAKE CITY – An interactive map from Twitter highlights America’s allegiances with NBA teams right down to a county level, and indicates a majority of Utahns support the Utah Jazz.
The map is the work of Twitter data visualisation scientist Krist Wongsuphasawat, and can also reveal how Jazz fans are spread across North America.
According to Twitter, 49.37 percent of Salt Lake County residents claim to follow the Utah Jazz, with notably heavier concentrations of supporters in counties around Salt Lake. 8.86 percent follow the Los Angeles Lakers, and 4.83 percent follow the Miami Heat.
It’s no surprise that the Toronto Raptors seem to dominate Canada (except British Columbia), and the Lakers draw a fan base across the United States.
