I think the more appealing ballplayer to the young kids is
Steph Curry 30%  30%  [ 3 ]
LeBron James 50%  50%  [ 5 ]
Bobby Weiss 20%  20%  [ 2 ]

I think most kids identify with Steph Curry because of his modest size and the fact he is king of the most popular shot in basketball,the 3 pointer. Lebron is built like Hercules and can do anything he wants on the court. I really don't know if he appeals that much to the little kids on the playgrounds and gym's across America though.

All I see here are Curry Jersey's from the tourist's kids. Not even close. Only ones wearing LeBron jerseys are older guys or Cle ppl.

It's odd how it seems that LeBron's biggest fans are between 25 and 35/40. Above that it's MJEff and below that it's still Jordan brand devotees and Steph.

Nike really dropped the ball.

LeBron and it’s not close when it comes to adults.

Can’t speak for little kids.

I would say among kids in our high school it is Curry and not close. Way more Golden State gear and Curry stuff compared to Lebron.

From adults I know who follow basketball it is closer to even with probably a slight edge to Lebron

Probably so across the whole country, but not in my corner of the world. Surely you are not going to argue with me that you know better about the people I interact with down here in hickville?

No. Any small sample can give any type of random results. I’m just positive it’s not close among adults around the country.

Not many people still dislike LeBron.

When I was a little kid,my favorite player was Bulls Forward,Chet "The Jet" Walker.

In the final minutes of the game,he was Mr. One on One for the Bulls. They had some great years under Dick Motta.

Curry has more international appeal.

FF’s right. It’s been 4 years since the Heatles were together. Long time in the sports world. Most of those people have shifted their focus on Durant and the entire Warriors team.

I get the feeling you don't have a lot of older, white friends. There are A TON of people who hate Lebron. And yes, many of them are racists.

Just you.

I agree racists probably don’t like the soon to be billionaire black nba player.

That's been my sense too. 4-5 years ago my dad had peak Old Man Hatred for LeBron. Now he just wants him to kick the warriors ass even though he won't be watching.
