With 21.87 million likes, the Los Angeles Lakers had the most likes on Facebook among National Basketball Association (NBA) teams as of October 2023. Bringing up the rear was the official account of the Atlanta Hawks with 1.57 million likes. Meanwhile, the NBA’s own official Facebook page had accrued 39.93 million likes.
How does this compare to Twitter followers?
The Lakers’ impressive reach on Facebook was matched by their Twitter following, having also ranked first in the list of NBA teams with the most Twitter followers with 11.88 million. However, despite ranking lowest among NBA teams on Facebook, the Atlanta Hawks didn’t have the smallest following on Twitter, with the last spot taken by the Detroit Pistons. The NBA's official Twitter page on the other hand had nearly 45 million followers.
