The NBA is a star-making league, and a new batch of stars will appear every few years. They are famous, have high salaries, have many fans, and are winners in life. But 99% of the fame of these stars is confined to their own home countries, and it is difficult for them to go global. Don't look at the information age, there are really too few stars who are really well-known and recognized by the world. As strong as Yao Ming, that is, a household name in Asia, still lacks a little influence in Europe. It's really world-famous, and in my opinion, there are only 4 people.
Jordan must come first, because he is the savior of the NBA, and without Jordan, it is a question mark whether the NBA still exists. Jordan's peak was in the 80s and 90s, when information was much behind now, and he was also world-famous. He has brought the NBA to the world, allowing more people to know and love the NBA, and his influence has gone beyond basketball itself. He is already a cultural symbol, a belief of many people, he is a superstar among superstars, and it is difficult to be surpassed in the future as far as Jordan's height in the sports world is concerned.
Kobe Bryant perfectly continued everything about Jordan, whether it is ball style, technology, or personality, Kobe Bryant is similar to Jordan. And Kobe's Lakers are in Los Angeles, such a big ball city, which helps Kobe's fame continue to spread. In the 06-10 season, Kobe Bryant was the undisputed first person in the league, and his popularity was also ahead of others. Especially when it comes to international competitions, fans only recognize Kobe, and his game has become a fan meeting, and even opponents will ask for Kobe's autograph. The retirement battle is even more of a world attention, although he has left us, but the spirit of "Mamba" has been passed on.
James is the darling of the league, and he was influential in the United States when he was in high school, and entering the league is the responsibility of traffic. He is very talented, he has a strong style of play, and he has become a top superstar in just a few years. Then it continued to reap honors, appeared in the finals in a row, and was also known by more people in international competitions. Through more than 20 years of hard work, James has been a long-term star and has a huge influence all over the world.
Curry is an epoch-making presence, and he has a huge influence on the entire basketball world. Now the basketball world is deeply influenced by Curry's three-point play, and they are all pursuing projection and speed. Curry's three-point play was more influential in the post-90s and post-00s, and he changed the way he used to basket. He is an innovator in the NBA's style of play, and he is also leading the era, and many sports superstars are his fans, and such an influence will definitely lead to retirement tour.
