Do you see Ant reaching global superstardom like Kobe, Lebron did?

Visually, his game is fun to watch. He’s made countless highlights on both ends of the floor. He’s being pushed by the media as the next face of the NBA, so that’s a plus. He’s great with his fans especially kids and he seems to fully embrace his popularity.

Yet, somehow, I feel like there’s something wrong else missing. Kobe and LBJ were global at the age of 23 and that was a time where exposure was limited -pre social media.

What’s missing? Is it his production? Is he too real? Meaning, he should tone down a bit with his public display of profanities. Does he lack a compelling personal story?

What would it take for him to achieve cross-cultural appeal?
