Steph Curry at #10 :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

He’s the new standard

Ai was the most influential guard of the 2000’s and is the reason why all these little guards play the way they play now

Kg/dirk are basically the prototype for every 6’10 and up player

And curry is the next step in hoop all of these kids are mimicking his style of play what he’s doing will be the norm 10 years from now

Wasn't it more Magic though that lead the way for athletes to get money outside of sports. Most of the known money MJ made was all basketball related. Magic really started the business aspect of stepping into other avenues.


That's a good point. I can't fact check ATM but I think Magic might have taken Mike's lead but expanded out of the basketball realm

Don't get it twisted I still got Mike as by far the #1 most influential. He was the first probably in all of sports to build a brand of himself. Such a brand that he didn't need to worry about expanding into other areas if he didn't want to and the first to take it to the level of owning a team.
