Zion is addicted to cheeseburgers and Instathots. Ja can't stay away from guns. Ant can't pull out. Tatum has the personality of a cardboard box. No one left to carry the Lebron/MJ mantle.

It’s going to be Luka after the NBA orchestrated the trade to the Lakers.

No love for Jokic?

The guy could finish as one of the best players ever based on efficiency.

Giannis is 30
Jokic is 29
Anthony Davis is 31
KAT is 29
Donovan Mitchell is 28

Then you’ve got some younger stars too

Jokic is the best basketball player on the planet but he couldn't care less about being the face of the NBA. Dude hoops like it's a 9-5.

shite, I'm not sure he even likes the sport.

It's amazing that he has that attitude and is going to go down as potentially a top 3 player of all time.

Wemby will be like Duncan and be respected by basketball people as the best player in the league, but the face of the NBA will likely be Luka. You don’t always have to be the best player to be the face, but if he’s the 3rd or 4th best player on the biggest franchise he’ll be the face

How about SGA? He's roughly the same age as Luka and Tatum.

Best player on the team with the best record in the NBA.

Leads the League in scoring.

Elite playmaker.

Best perimeter defender in the League.

No drama, no politics, and fun as hell to watch.

If he was playing for the Lakers or Celtics, he would already be the face of the League.

League is fricked. None of the new guys really have much star power.

YES, there is elite talent but majority of the young elite guys are foreigners who aren't in the limelight much and not in tons of advertisements and what not.

Being the face of the NBA is about be marketable. Embiid\Giannas\Jokic\Tatum\Luka\SGA are pretty boring guys who don't want to be involved in all the superstar shite.

To early to tell with Wemby.

Zion is a fricktard. Ja Morant is also a fricktard.

They REALLY tried to push Anthony Edwards into the limelight last year but in reality he's not even a top 10 player in the league.


Luka is their best shot but at the end of the day he's a foreigner who doesn't take his weight training seriously and isn't very talkative in media and social scenes.
