LOL @ nikkas questioning MJ's impact. The NBA ratings hit an all-time high when he was playing and an all time low when quit, GTFOH. nikkas have been trying to be like Mike since the late 80's.

Nobody wants to be Lebron, they might want to be a great player like him..but as a person he's not as captivating or iconic as AI was in his prime, especially The Decision, his brand took a major hit when he fled to Miami.

Iverson single handedly saved Reebok as a brand off his name alone, he had the only sneaker in history that nikkas chose over rocking J's in 96.

yall Lebron nikkas love to try to throw his name in everything. bron aint touchin AI. he's a following ass nikka fukk that nikka brand his team and his life choices. AI was the biggest and most talked about thing in basketball and on the streets at his time. i had a AI durag cuz of him Bron aint sellin no durags (might sell some black ice tho :mjpls: ) before Gloria was the mom of bball it was Ann Iverson all up in the front row gettin shine (but not for hoe reasons :mjpls: )
Lebron has 0 impact on the culture cause he's a follower. if Dwade get a jerricurl today bron gon have one tomorrow.
imma start shootin yall nikkas for disrespectin AI

ppl still cant define culture.

If you want to say Allen Iverson had more impact on inner city kids during the late 90's and 2000's of course that's the case.

But as a global brand and international impact as a name and icon its Lebron and it isnt even fukking close.

What does Lebron actualy have on AI's brand besides more commercials? He's been signed to Nike for 9 years and still doesn't have a shoe as big The Question, has never impacted basketball culture the way AI did with the whole streetball movement in the early 00's,is not a beloved figure to the hip hop generation,gets out voted by Derrick Rose in the All Star Game,constantly disrespected by his peers on the court etc...

LeBron Nike shoes have never sold as much as the Reebok the Answers.

nikkas was wearing Reebok the Answers like Jordans.

I have never seen anyone rock those Nike LeBron shoes.

If were talking about this in terms for a marketing class project, then yeah, you have a point.

If this was a term paper for a sociology class, you're off base.

That's what's going on in this thread.

And Iverson targeted a certain demographic. Lebron's brand targets a much wider base. All Im saying.
