Luka ain’t athletic enough to be the face of the league
giannis has 2 mvps and is only 26
Curry is like the 2nd most popular player in the League and he ain't athletic.
The only thing that could prevent Luka from being the face of the NBA is the fact he isn't American lol.

That's where I'm coming from breh. I bounced from keeping up with the game for some years now and I'm getting back into it.
The wheel will keep spinning. The League is in great hands. Yeah theirs no “generational” , larger than life like player ala MJ, Kobe, LeBron but there’s So much young Talent... it’s not like the league will be going under or some shyt
I’m focused on what I see on the court, not narrative led stories to fill hot take shows and trending twitter topics
Doncic is already Top 2 in Jersey Sales & has massive International/Caucasian appeal. He's in a relatively large market & he's already a Superstar at this point.
The NBA has been pushing Zion hard since his Duke days. He's ridiculously dominant & athletic. He isn't exactly charismatic but he's very PR savy with the media like MJ, Kobe, Bron. Only thing is he isn't performing the dunks he got famous for in High School. I thought he'd instantly be putting players on posters like Blake when he arrived or doing crazy in-game dunks but that hasn't been the case so far. He even avoided the dunk contest to advertise himself.
LaMelo has been famous since he was like 14 & is a social media celebrity with an army of dikkriders. He's very fun to watch & popular with kids but I'm not sure adults will be rocking with him as much. He's also kind of an idiot which will dent his popularity & I'm not sure he has Top 5 potential like Zion & Luka.
A huge dark horse is Emoni Bates but we're still a couple of years away from that.

Curry is the best shooter of all time and helped revolutionize the game
When it comes to popularity you need to have a signature
High quality poster

Ultimately though the league shouldn’t be looking for the next “Lebron” in the same way they were looking for the next MJ. They’ve spent 20 years forcing Lebron down our throats as “the goat” only for him to lose 6 finals, it’s a bad look IMO.
Just let these young guys develop in the same manor that the early 2000s stars developed.

It’s all in the Game Yo
Too bad Tatum wasn’t a smidge better . His looks alone , as well as MPJ could make a huge impact.
Zion seems to be playing it smart. Don't think he's going to be that above the rim type player so he can have longevity.
This is fukking amazing

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
It will have to be a group of guys. In an Era of hypebeasts nobody has had close to the hype of Bron. And he fukking lived up to it
