This map shows just how much America hates the Golden...

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Golden State Warriors are easily the most-hated NBA team in the United States.

A Twitter map made by sports analytic site ZCodeSystem.com reveals the most-hated NBA team by state, and the Warriors won (lost?) in 26 states.

In each state, a query was run for phrases such as "I hate (insert team)" as well as other "negative phrases" directed towards teams or players. The Los Angeles Lakers are America's second-most-hated team after achieving least-favorite status in 19 states.

There are a number of somewhat surprising findings in the map, including the fact that the Warriors are the most-hated team in their own state. Perhaps, though this actually isn't too surprising, since Kings, Lakers and Clippers fans all likely despise the Warriors.

Washington hates the Lakers the most, although one would think Washington's least-favorite team would be the Oklahoma City Thunder, since Oklahoma City stole their Seattle SuperSonics from them.

Another curious finding: Illinois hates the Warriors more than any other team despite head coach Steve Kerr being a former Chicago Bull. Not to mention the Warriors have prevented LeBron James from winning the NBA Finals three times in the past four seasons. One would think Bulls fans would be grateful that the Warriors have prevented LeBron from matching Michael Jordan's number of championship rings (six).
