    Closest we got right now is Giannis. NBA theme is globalization or international players. If they want a US face, itโ€™s either ANT, Brunson, or Tatum/ Brown.

    Why would anyone want to be the face of the NBA when you have to be subjected to ranting and raving from ESPN ๐Ÿ˜…

    Stephen A is repeating his faulty Shohei stance again, but itโ€™s not surprising haha
    With how much yโ€™all bring up Shai on here, heโ€™s trying to say that heโ€™s not popular or iconic a he should be because heโ€™s not American, is kinda absurd on its face. No one in their mind, unless their toxic in their patriotic fervor constantly thinks of Shai as not able to be beloved enough by Americans because heโ€™s Canadian, thatโ€™s all what media does when thatโ€™s brought up, or in documentaries, versus telling the story of the player himself and why heโ€™s so great or should be admired, itโ€™s honestly so silly for SAS to bring that up

    Shannon is correct…. It’s not something you can just make yourself be…. It comes natural by attitude, your approach, your networking, your love for the game and love for others that resonates through out the country and beyond…. These young guys just don’t have it…..!!

    Openly RACIST takes by both Stephen A and Shannon! Why canโ€™t an international player be the face? He plays ball right heโ€™s marketable right? Bruhh STOP IT! Typical racist Americans

    Why would anyone want to be the face of the league after seeing the crying the media and rage bait from fandom LeBron gets. You think anyone sees the coverage LeBron gets when we got wife beaters and gang members in the league getting less scrutiny then a guy who decided to not be in an all star game for the 1st time since 2004. Good luck finding the next pinata to blame for everything wrong with NBA.

    This is why the viewership is down; instead of embracing all these guys, you are searching for an icon. I say give them all equal spotlight and we get to enjoy them all flourish.

    I think its Shai vs Luka next 5-8 years for the face of the league. I give the edge to Shai right now.
