I would put the NBA stars of the past 30 years against any sport. I realize Soccer and F1 also have had huge stars, but the NBA has a procession of stars that never seems to let up. Magic, Bird, MJ, Vince Carter, Iverson, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, Curry..... Those guys are massive worldwide....and the NBA lags far behind the NFL in the USA. NBA stars are nowhere near as famous as Messi or Ronaldo and even Michael Jordon was no where as famous as Maradona or Pele worldwide. I understand that some people of USA do not have exposure to what goes on outside of USA but no NBA stars are not a name in middle east, Africa, India etc. Football stars are recognised in all those places and in Europe and in South America. NBA has gained some prominence in China since Yao Ming but football is far bigger in China than Basketball. So unless you place popularity in America as more important thing, there is no way in the world that NBA stars are bigger than football stars. It's not even comparable. I, as well as 99.9% of Americans couldn't spot any of these clowns in a police lineup. Send Shaq, MJ, LeBron, Kobe over to Istanbul and they'll get their toes sucked on by the locals. |
