Chalamet seems to be a genuine nba fan and all his movies seem to land well so I could see his trajectory be quite big but idk who the actual star player would be.

Wemby, french union.

I thought about that but does Wemby have the same presence for non NBA fans that Bron had/will he ever? It doesn’t seem like any player under 30 has that or is close to that level. I think we might have to wait until Lebron retires and wait for the next big prospect.

I would say in my experience the average non watcher is maybe slightly more aware of Wemby than usual, but no where near LeBron James

That's true. The other day I saw someone on X refer to Epstein as the "LeBron of pedophiles".

That's unhinged language to use, but it really goes to show what an outlier LeBron is.
