At the age of 39, LeBron James is no longer the best star of the American Professional Basketball League (NBA), but he is still the name that attracts the greatest attention on this playground.

At this time, LeBron James is nearly 40 years old and is no longer as energetic as before. Although the star born in 1984 is not among the top scoring athletes in the NBA 2023 – 2024, he is still an indispensable factor at the Los Angeles Lakers.

At an age when many other players have retired, King James is still persistent, often having the most minutes on the team and scoring performance only worse than teammate Anthony Davis (born in 1993).

With his name and outstanding performance in a Lakers shirt, LeBron James is still a figure that attracts great attention from basketball fans. According to statistics, the Lakers’ “veteran” is the person who attracts the most views on NBA social networking platforms. Up to this point of the 2023 – 2024 season, James has 756 million views.

Meanwhile, the second place was a big surprise when it belonged to Victor Wembanyama (508 million views). This French player is only 19 years old (born in 2004) and is an NBA rookie playing for the San Antonio Spurs club. Since the beginning of the 2023 – 2024 season, this 2.24 m tall thrower has become a new phenomenon in the NBA, having played in 25 matches and scoring an average of 18.5 points/game.

The person ranked third on the list of the “hottest” names in the NBA is Stephen Curry, the excellent 3-point shooter of the Golden State Warriors.

From 4th to 10th place, respectively: Kevin Durant – 259 million views, Giannis Antetokounmpo – 259 million views, Luka Doncic – 199 million views, Tyrese Haliburton – 146 million views, James Harden – 146 million views views, Chet Holmgren – 122 million views, Jayson Tatum – 118 million views.

This list is confusing because it does not include the name of the NBA’s brightest star at this time. The reigning MVP of the tournament, Joel Embiid, although still maintaining his destructive form and currently leading the scoring list with an average of 35.1 points/match, does not have enough attraction to enter the top 10 athletes with the most most views in the NBA.
