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

No one player dominates what Knicks fans say: Victor Wembanyama leads at 9%, and 3 of their 10 most-discussed are Knicks.

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

Their own players

Knicks fans are less negative than rival fans on all 9 players: the widest gap on Landry Shamet (-20 pts), the narrowest on OG Anunoby (-2 pts).
