Jeremy Lin's top 10 nearest neighbors span five distinct subcategories — athletes, sports teams, websites, film studios, and actors — with no single kind dominating the set.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.83 down to 0.79 across the top 10, a narrow band with no standout. Gamasutra, a game-development website, sits at the top (0.83) — the only website in the top 10 and the only non-athlete, non-sports-team entity in the upper half of the set. Below it, three fellow athletes cluster tightly: Andre Branch (0.82), Steve Nash (0.82), and Amar'e Stoudemire (0.80). Two NBA franchises appear — Brooklyn Nets (0.81) and New York Knicks (0.79) — alongside MGM Studios (0.81) and App Store (0.80), both non-sports entities. Amber Patrice Riley (0.80) and SoleCollector.com (0.80) round out the ten.
The subcategory tally: three athletes, two sports teams, two brands (one film studio, one technology), one actor, one website, and one blog. That mix — basketball-adjacent entities sitting alongside a game-dev site, a film studio, a tech platform, and a sneaker blog — describes an audience that follows the sport but also indexes across entertainment and tech media. No single neighbor type owns the shape; the audience is genuinely composite.
This flat, mixed-category profile suggests Lin's audience is defined less by a single interest cluster than by a broad cross-section of sports, entertainment, and digital media consumption.
