Method

A fanbase is the r/NBA flair its commenters wear, the team badge beside a username; comments with no flair are not counted here. A fanbase needs at least 200 comments about a player or a roster to be read against it, and every rate is from summed counts, never a mean of rates.

Who they talk about

Anthony Edwards alone is 10% of what Timberwolves fans say about players; 4 of their 10 most-discussed are Timberwolves.

Bar length: his share of the leader's n. Segments: negative, neutral, positive.

Their own players

Timberwolves fans are less negative than rival fans on 6 of their 8 players: the widest gap on Bones Hyland (-14 pts), and more negative on 2 of them, most on Julius Randle (+7 pts).
