I hate LeBron but he's world known & Kobe is too. That's just blatant hatin or trollin. Not sure cause I don't know you


How are they world known? I only know of them from being on forums like this one, none of my friends would have any clue who Lebron James or Kobe Bryant are. I'm sure that's true of people in a lot of countries

Out of all those people Serena is the most mainstream outside the US that's not to say Bron and them ain't famous in the UK but nothing compared to Serana williams, shehas played all over the world , you never see Lebron and Kobe on mainstream tv, only on the sports channels....whereas the Williams sisters are on mainstream tv all the time

The only basketball player I actually know anything about is Luol Deng.

He plays with Michael Jordan for the Chicago Bullies I think?

Like i said, they'll know phelps from the last olympics, and they'll definitely know serena.

If basketball players are not known world....

The problem is these people think the US = The World.

They never stepped foot outside of the US in their life.
