NBA Players Sentiment Analysis

1			Most Hated NBA Players
2	METHODOLOGY		We’ve used an API to scrape 10 Million tweets related to NBA Players. We’ve extracted only english tweets and we’ve cleaned the data with Python programming language. Data cleansing was the process of removing URLs, Hashtags, Mentions, Punctuation, Duplicates, Null Values, and special characters from tweets. Once the data was cleaned we’ve used NLP techniques, TextBlob Python Library to be more specific and we’ve analyzed the sentiments of data. TextBlob returns polarity of a sentence. Polarity lies between [-1,1], -1 defines a negative sentiment, and +1 defines a positive sentiment. Once we had all cleaned tweets labeled as positive and negatives, we grouped the data by date and player and calculated percentage of negative and positive tweets for each date and each player. The results are shown in the sheet below.
