    Twitter rolled out an interactive map that you can play around with to see which NBA team is the most followed team in specific areas of the country.

    The Lakers are by far #1. It's really not even close. If the Lakers are not the #1 most followed team in a specific region, they are the #2 most followed team. Lol.

    From my understanding, the Lakers have the biggest online following in North American sports. Only the European soccer teams have a bigger following.

    Well that shows why the Hawks are trying to leave. They aren't even the most popular team in their area.

    Even when we suck we are still #1. You can tell from watching away games, the crowd is always sprinkled with purple and gold.

    Memo to Silver: this is your cash cow, start treating it with some damn respect unlike your predecessor. In other words, give us a top 5 pick this offseason and stop rewarding crap ownership like Dan Gilbert. This is the franchise that now deserves some love.

    Definitely. Stop giving Cleveland #1 picks for Christ's sake. Even after three #1 picks, a #4 pick, LeBron James, and Kevin Love they still can't figure out how to run a team.
