It’s mentioned at times, but bears repeating the factor this plays for today’s athletes. Players like even Jordan, who I loved growing up and is the GOAT, would be viewed differently had social media been around. Or earlier eras as well. Could you imagine the Bad Boy Pistons with Twitter and FB?

Still, there’s a crop of likable guys in the league too who are fun to watch - Giannis, Dame, Luka, Jrue, Booker, Mitchell, even the Splash Bros resurgence.
