Has there ever been players as successful this early as Jokic and Doncic be so culturally insignificant?

This is the internet/social media era, everything traditional has been diminished in the public eye. Things are only "culturally significant" if they can go viral.
Can you name a sitcom that everyone watches?
Can you name a current pro wrestler with household name recognition?
Are baseball's greatest players household names outside of baseball fans?
How many nightly newscasters or morning show hosts are on the tip of everyone's tongue?
There's no Cosby Show or Seinfeld or Friends, there's no Hulk Hogan or Undertaker or Stone Cold Steve Austin, there's no Ken Griffey Jr. or Barry Bonds or Mark McGuire, there's no Walter Cronkite or Tom Brokaw or Dan Rather, there's no Regis Philbin or Barbara Walters or Katie Couric or Bryant Gumbel. Even the big "names" who are still around with cultural relevance are largely those who started out before social media was a big thing and are basically legacy from that time (LeBron, The Simpsons, The Rock, Oprah, Anderson Cooper, Al Roker).
People need to just get used to the fact that a world driven by social media is going to push culture in different directions than a world driven by traditional media. If you don't like it, then take control back from social media.

Jokic solidified in these streets but why would anyone talk about Luka? He has done nothing. He has won nothing. He on his way to losing to the clippers in the 1st round for what...the 3rd time in his career?
He’s white and he’s one of the greats. That used to be enough, no matter if a player won a ring or not. That’s another reason too, ring culture. However, if he was American that played in a different market, maaaaan he’d be spoken about a notch below Caitlin Clark. Then we’d be asking the questions you just asked.

Tim Duncan was as dominant a player to come into the league as anybody, but that didn't translate into popularity or cultural impact.Jokic is about to win 3 mvps and Doncic is about to have 5 first team NBA seasons in 6 years and if you ask the average person on the street they will look at you like this
NBA Reddit is obsessed with Luka.
And every other good to decent yt player.
It’s coming.
