Who are the most hated NBA players? LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, apparently! The answer comes from a survey done by a betting site based on about 100,000 tweets issued in this early 2022-23 season. Irwing and LeBron are in first and second place on the list in 45 states out of 50, specifically LeBron in 17 and Kyrie even in 28.
Ben Simmons is the most hated in three states, Pennsylvania where the Philadelphia 76ers, his former team, are based, while Draymond Green of the Warriors and Kevin Durant of the Nets are not tolerated in one state each.
Per Durant comes from Ohio where for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018 he signed the title win with Golden State against the Cleveland Cavs.
We combed through some geotagged Twitter data since the start of the season to see who the most hated player in the NBA is.
