Sports Illustrated did a series where they focused on a different state for each issue. One part of it was where they took a poll and found out what team was favored in each state. It might be interesting to you to check out their website and see what type of information they have posted. You might be surprised by some of the results.

One other point? While there may not be NBA teams in those states, at least some of them have had teams previously. For example, Nebraska (Omaha) and Missouri (Kansas City) were both home to the Kings. Places like Iowa (Buckeyes) and Kansas (Jayhawks) have EXCELLENT NCAA teams that are perpetual contenders for national titles AND feed a number of players into the NBA on a regular basis.
Good luck on your quest for further information. I no longer have my collection of past issues of SI, or I could help find the stats for you.

tks, it should prove interesting.
I hope to get a clue as to the various factors relating to the viability of an owner wanting to establish an nba team. Obviously they have to believe there are going to be enough fans who want to see the games, but i suspect there is more to it than that.
My post was prompted because of the geographical distribution of these states. They are all (or mostly) running north / south down the middle of the USA.
My ignorance of the population / wealth distribution of the USA may be about to change for the better.

ewww, omg I have 9..yes NINE mosquito bites on my one foot/ankle and I have 2 others on my other foot. I don't have any mosquito bites anywhere else on my body, just my feet/ankles. I thought I got bit up outside cause I was wearing flip flops but now I'm starting to think there's a nest of mosquitos down under my desk somewhere because I didn't have this many earlier today, and I haven't even been outside! ::turns other light on and looks under desk while itching:: i don't like this at all!

Some of them are most likely crawler bots, used by search engines to glean information. Others could be from places like Europe, where it's mid-morning.
And others could be ... well ... lurkers.
