Kansas City’s favorite NBA team is the LA Lakers by a country mile

The Lakers have a stronghold on the Kansas City area.

Twitter put together an NBA map, showing the allegiances for each team in every county in the United States.

According to Twitter, it looked “at the official Twitter accounts for each team, using their followers as an indicator of allegiance (as opposed to, say, instances in which people mention a team while watching an interesting matchup or talking about a team’s rival).”

Here’s the local breakdown:

Jackson County
