Come on numbers don’t lie. As long as Bron will stay as hated as he is now, he will stay as the face of the NBA. The fact of the matter is, Curry can’t and will never be the face of the NBA as long as there is Bron. He is the face of the GSW, but not the NBA. Come on now, we still gonna debate about this?

The answer to this question is in another question “who is in the most commercials?”

As a Denver and Jokic fan, there was never a conversation about Jokic being face of the NBA. We talked about Curry all the time, rightfully so, even last year I believe Perk was mentioning him in a MVP race.
For me faces of the NBA are Giannis, Steph, Luka, Booker, Joel, Morant, Tatum, KD, Kyrie, Jokic and of course LBJ. But who IS THE face of the NBA today, player you put on a video game and whatever, it’s Steph.

After LeBron and Steph I think it has to be Giannis. The guy has a whole scripted movie coming out on Disney+ soon. He’s big time if you ask me.

It is a problem for the NBA, they do not want kids from other country’s to become face of the NBA League? WHY NOT? So tell me what Janis, Embid, Jokic, Doncic, Sabonis and many others from around the world they are not good, how come? Do NBA realize that thanks to those players NBA is better and stronger then ever? Old school players and NBA are going down in history as best then, now we have new history in making thanks to the players from around the globe!

Let me tell you something. Jokic doesn’t even care about being the face of the nba. He just doing his job night in night out and he’s the most efficient player in the league for 2 years now. Great player, great guy. Most young big mans wants to be like Jokic.
