ESPN: 100 Most Famous Athletes on The Planet

[blockboy504]

The King number 2

That might be the case among soccer and sports fan in general but Ronaldo is more famous than Messi among non-sports fans.

For instance, show a bytch a picture of Ronaldo and a lot of them will recognize him, even though they don't follow the sport. Messi not so much

show a picture of messi to a non sports fan and they'd think he's a hobbit stunt double

 

[DoubleClutch]

Kevin Durant shouldn't be on the list.

He's not even more popular than curry

 

[Grand Conde]

More people know who Roger Federer is globally than Kevin Durant?

Considering how massive basketball is in Asia, South America, and in some parts of Europe, are you sure?

Yes. Nobody knows who the fukk Kevin Durant is.

And basketball is 'massive' in Asia? Really though?

 

[Grand Conde]

That list is some Americanised bullshyt. Durant wouldn't make the top 50. Mickelson is barely the best known golfer. LeBron over Messi?

...in America.

As always you stupid yanks think the world starts and ends with you.

 

[Grand Conde]

I dont know if basketball is bigger than tennis worldwide i might say no on that one...

Of course it isn't. Tennis is much bigger than basketball worldwide.

 

[Grand Conde]

Yes, but basketball is still bigger than tennis, hence why I'm not so sure Federer is more well known than Durant. I'm pretty sure Durant is more well known in say, China, than Federer.

Breh if you show a Chinese person a picture of Durant they'll look .

EVERYONE knows who Federer is. Nadal and Sharapova as well.

 

[Grand Conde]

Bolt should be higher up on that list as well.

 

[Versa]

That list is some Americanised bullshyt. Durant wouldn't make the top 50. Mickelson is barely the best known golfer. LeBron over Messi?

Wouldn't be in the top 50?

You being extra right now lol.

I'm an african living in Africa and I legit NEVER heard of Mickelson. Only person in the top 10 I dont know too. My man C.dot at the top however Messi should at least be number 2. I also believe basketball is bigger globally than tennis and its not just a race thing because i travelled around Asia and its really big there, especially China, Japan, the Philippines but i can also understand that Federer might be a bigger star than KD.

 

[Conz]

MLB is awful at promoting its stars. Not that some stupid ESPN list proves it, but everyone knows this.

 

[Cynic]

...in America.

As always you stupid yanks think the world starts and ends with you.

We did invent the internet and nuclear bombs...so yes it does you limey bellend

 

[Jax]

Who the fukk is Phil Mickelson?

...might?

Breh no one has the slightest fukking clue who Durant is outside of the USA.

Also I dunno why you brought Japan into this, tennis (and baseball and golf) are much more popular than basketball.
