Tiger woods? Lmao no not even close and golfers in general can't come close. Lebron and other team sports players have a franchise they're responsible for

Yeah, Tiger wasn't responsible for anything...only signed the biggest deal ever for Nike in college...and was sort of responsible for Nike revenue and his brand.

LeBron isn't repsonsible for his teammates...he's responsible for LeBron.

Tiger Woods was the richest golfer in the world (because of Nike) before he won jack squat on the Pro tour.

There have been a lot of basketball phenoms. Tiger was so huge - everyone put all this pressure on him to change the sport.

Was LeBron supposed to change the sport? Now if LeBron had been white, we'd have an argument about pressure to transform a sport.
