After LeBron, Curry, and KD, who are the 4th and 5th most popular active NBA players?

I was very willing to agree to disagree because your experience is your experience, and my experience is my experience, but you keep on arguing that your opinion is the correct opinion so I have no choice but to shut you down:

  1. Non basketball fans prefer extremely exciting plays like monster dunks and monster blocks. Extreme athletic feats are more amazing than 3 pointers.
  2. Yes, Steph fits the Philippines' beauty standards. But LeBron is a genetic monster and non-basketball fans are amazed by his build and physique. Who's the more popular WWE characters in the Philippines, the pretty boys or the genetic freaks like the Rock, Mark Henry, Big Show, Undertaker?
  3. I don't think being religious matters so much in this case, although Curry may have an edge over LeBron in granda fanbase due to this
  4. Fanbases are not drawn to who they can "relate" with. Fans are drawn towards those with unimaginable skills. MJ and Kobe are the biggest basketball Gods here, and it's not because we "relate" to being 6'6" and hyperathletic and skilled.

Again, your experience is your experience, but it doesn't mean it's the same over the whole country of 110,000,000 people.
