At 0.99, Brandon Phillips sits at the top of the Cincinnati Reds' neighbor set — a score so close to perfect it functions less like a similarity and more like an identity overlap. That's the first peak. The second is Cincinnati Bengals at 0.96, pulling the audience into NFL territory and anchoring a distinctly Cincinnati-local cluster.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition. The shape is two-peak: Phillips and the Bengals are the structural poles, with the remaining neighbors fanning out from those anchors. AJ Green (0.93) and Todd Frazier (0.88) extend the Athletes subcategory thread, while Cincinnati Zoo (0.93) is the lone Non-Profit in the top 10 — a local civic institution whose audience tracks closely with the Reds' fanbase. Ohio State Buckeyes (0.88) and Urban Meyer (0.88) introduce a college sports layer, and Indianapolis Colts (0.87) alongside Jim Irsay (0.87) extend the NFL presence beyond Cincinnati. Ohio State Football (0.86) reinforces the Ohio college football thread.
Across the top 10, the subcategory breakdown is: four Athletes, four Sports Teams, one Non-Profit, and one Professionals — a neighbor set almost entirely composed of sports entities, with the Cincinnati Zoo as the single outlier. The audience this reveals is one defined by local civic identity and Midwest sports fandom, bridging baseball, football, and college athletics rather than clustering tightly around baseball alone.
