Who is the most revered athlete in cities with multiple pro franchises?

Some cities like Chicago (Jordan) are fairly obvious but others are not so much
Los Angeles - Probably Kobe
New York - Babe Ruth vs Jeter vs Joe Namath
Boston - Tom Brady vs Larry Bird vs Bobby Orr vs Ted Williams
Pittsburgh - Mario Lemieux vs Terry Bradshaw vs Big Ben
Philadelphia - Allen Iverson vs Rocky vs Bobby Clarke maybe
Some of the cities are difficult like Buffalo, maybe Jim Kelly?

Has anyone had a trajectory like LeBron?
He's gone from Cleveland's most revered, to its most hated, to its most revered

Wasn't LA a much bigger baseball/Dodger town before Magic's arrival? The Lakers became as big and popular as they are almost entirely due to Magic.

NBA MVP from Buffalo. MacAdoo.
Kelly actually won AFC 4 x, so Kelley.

Barry Sanders?
Atlanta: Hank Aaron
Cincinnati: Griffey Jr.?

I was just thinking on Detroit, maybe Geordie Howe or Yzerman or Barry Sanders
Posted on 5/5/17 at 12:39 pm to Bags of Milk
Detroit is Howe

Not to hijack but I thought I read this opposite and it presented a good question, are there any athletes thought of as the face of a city/most beloved in multiple cities?

New York its Ruth
LA its Magic
Boston its either Russell or Williams but lean toward Russell
Buffalo is Kelly
St Louis Ozzie most likely Lou Brock with cancer though
KC George Brett
Seattle its Griffey
Cincy Bench or Morgan
Cleveland Jim Brown
Dallas Staubach
Houston Hakeem
Pittsburgh Clemente
Just a few in my opinion
