Current Basketball Superstars: Who Will Lead the NBA After LeBron James?

Current Basketball Superstars: Who Will Lead the NBA After LeBron James?

Reader’s Question:
Who is the current basketball superstar? Not long ago, it was Michael Jordan, right?

Reflecting on Today’s Basketball Scene

Recently, I was having a discussion with friends about basketball, and we got excited talking about the current superstars. It’s undeniable that LeBron James has been the face of the NBA for many years. However, considering he’s approaching 40, it
makes me curious about who the next generation of stars will be. My friends mentioned names like Doncic, Jokic, and Giannis. In particular, Doncic, at just 25, has a high potential to lead the NBA in the future. Being on the same team as Hachimura adds a touch of romance to it. There’s something captivating about his playing style.

The Difference Between Skill and Popularity

What’s interesting here is how we define a “superstar.” If we consider skill, names like Jokic, SGA, Giannis, and Luka come up. However, in terms of popularity, LeBron, Curry, and KD dominate. There are players with skill who don’t have the same level of popularity, and vice versa. It’s like evidence in a courtroom—the priority can change depending on the situation. Speaking of which, the other day when I went to an NBA game with friends, I arrived early and my friend showed up late, exclaiming, “I missed the highlights!” It left quite an impression. In that moment, I had indulged in snacks a bit too much, and I felt a little embarrassed that I was more full than focused on the game.
