Unexpected Jazz Player Grabs Attention Alongside LeBron James as the Most-Searched NBA Athlete by State.

Basketball Reference released its annual recap Tuesday, posting several maps depicting what NBA fans are searching on the site.

Unsurprisingly, Lakers superstar LeBron James was the most-viewed Basketball Reference page in 41 of 50 states.

Former NBA MVPs Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic led eight states, including Wisconsin and Colorado, where they currently reside.

The other state? Utah, which searched for Jazz center Lauri Markkanen more often than any other athlete.
