The Mayors of the NBA

Earlier in the week, I posted a couple of things over at Grantland that looked at the best and worst shooters so far this season. These two posts provided a glimpse into the spatial efficiencies of NBA players. As a logical follow-up to that, it makes sense to consider frequency: which players shoot the most different spots? If all NBA players had foursquare, these guys would be the mayors of these spots.
