LeBron James is widely considered the best current player in the NBA, but he also has his fair share of haters, as new Twitter data shows.
Using geotagged data dating back to the end of the 2018-19 season - specifically, tweets that mention "hating" or "disliking" a specific player - Sportsinsider.com put together a map of the United States that shows who is viewed the least favorably in each state.
James is the most "hated" player with 25 states, followed by Kevin Durant with 17, Kyrie Irving with five, Anthony Davis with two, and James Harden with one.
