If The NBA Actually Had A New Top Dog They Wouldn’t have To Wait On Bron & Steph To Retire…They Would’ve Already Pushed Them Out Of The Way…

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Plenty of extremely talented players but none in position to drive conversation

The sports channels aren’t relying on none of these nikkax for clicks, views or engagement nor are they in position to drive it

 

[MJ Truth]

Facts.

LeBron was pushing to face of the league status while Kobe was still in his prime. Shaq and Grant Hill were becoming that guy while Jordan was still around. Jordan was heading that way while Magic and Bird were still playing. P

It'll happen organically. Even Steph was "the dude" in college, but it took him some years till he finally became a big deal

I think it was that explosion against the Knicks in the Garden that really put him on the map

If Wemby had teammates that passed to him, he'd be on his way.

 

[Rasille]

Maybe Anthony Edwards but we’ll see.

breh people north of Yonkers and south of East Brunswick forgot about that game 2 days later

 

[Bboystyle]

I remember when Zion was the next big thing

 

[Juggalo Fred]

I remember when Zion was the next big thing

Well he sure is big from eating a lot

Once one of these young stars win 2 rings then it’s

Been saying this for years. There's lots of talent out there but I don't see anyone with the full package.

Someone needs to put on a show and performance in the big marquee match up and/or go off on National TV consistently. So it makes that person Can't Miss TV. Its needs to be something that people will talk about decade/s later as a reference point. Like MJ 63 vs Celtics in the playoffs or Curry's 54 in the Garden.

I think the talent is there wit some individuals but foreigners don’t have the same type of marketability as a USA player. Look at Gianni’s shoe sales versus even an old kyrie Nike shoe deal. Despite being the @greater more accomplished player” kyriez shoes when he was wit Nike were a smash hit. These foreign cats don’t lead the way on the off court stuff. Top nba players actually started fashion trends (Jordan, Webber, Iverson, etc.) this new global scheme silver is trying is great for letting the foreigners dominate but unfortunately the “global” aspect won’t help them in the off the court world of marketability imo….

If you aren’t from America you will never be the face of the nba

Zion and Ja had the keys...

Yep.

And I really believe it needs to be an American born player.

The league hit the jackpot with Bron, Kobe, Larry, Magic, Shaq, Steph(i love his path to being a superstar because not many expected what he did in college to translate to the league), and MJ. I just don't see a player right now, that can grab headlines. Maybe it can be Ant. I don't know.

Would love to see another cultural icon like AI
