PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) — Top US Casinos recently completed a study to get down into all the states' most famous athletes.
As for Pennsylvania, that honor goes to none other than NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain.
The criteria used were the milestones and benchmarks achieved by prominent athletes across numerous sports and the Wikipedia search traffic to determine which star was the most popular in each state.
The map is mainly dominated by former NBA and NFL players.
Still, some other unique entries worked their way into the rankings: Nick Saban for Virginia, Tiger Woods in California, Andre Agassi representing Nevada, Lance Armstrong in Texas, and Muhammad Ali for Kentucky.
