NBA can’t create new stars because they force love instead of making players earn it. 

LeBron was hated by NBA media from the time he was drafted until midway through his Miami stint — never got the respect he deserved. 

Now, Shai and Anthony Edwards get superstar love despite not accomplishing anything yet.

Gilbert Arenas was making the case for Tatum being face of the league built around this same premise of being hated / disrespected despite resume

if they win it again this year he’ll be undeniable 

hoping my cavs can spoil that tho :)

kinda disagree - Edward’s approaching face of the league cuz he has the personality / swag that makes him fun to watch. 

I’d imagine most would prefer rooting for a winless Edwards > championship pedigree Tatum
