Curry hasn't been the face for several years now. Lebron and Curry are still top guys for the league, but they aren't the clear cut guys anymore.
Idk if there is one right now. Giannis was looking like that guy but that hype has slowed down a bit.
Lebron was the guy for a while, then Curry for a bit, now the league is kinda in limbo.
Imo, Wemby will be that in a couple of years.

I'm still confused about - "no wonder the sport suck" lol
How does Curry (an all time great who is clearly moving up in the top 10 list) being the face of the league make the sport suck? What is the correlation?
What a f**king weird thing to say.

All amazing players no doubt.

Bron and Steph are definitely the top 2 . Whoever is 3rd is currently pretty distant IMO .

I think it's hard to sell them as the face since they really aren't winning anymore. Face of the NBA is usually someone dominating and getting at least deep playoff runs. It's just always been that way. Bird/Magic, MJ, Kobe/Shaq, Lebron, the Curry. Who's that guy? Giannis would be the closest one, but being in MLK doesn't help either. And his hype has slowed down a bit.

Originally posted by GoreGoreGore:I dont agree with the fact that it has to be someone winning a title this year. Both Steph and Lebron have won multiple titles, clearly are the fan favorites based on merchandise sales, and are still near the top of their game. Both are generational players that are still playing at an incredible level. If winning is the criteria, then why would Steph be penalized given he is not even 2 full years away from leading his team to a title?

Hard to gauge if it's actually less popular. Yes TV ratings are down , but there is lots of interaction via social media .

But I'm confused, John said jersey sales prove curry is face of nba
but you're saying social media indicates popularity, which Lebron dominates
