You have to think who most people worldwide would name as their first athlete, even if they didn't watch or have access to live sport. Messi and Ronaldo top that list IMO

Sadly it’s probably Ronaldo, irritating as he is.

Love him or hate him you can't ignore him

If it’s strictly US Sports anyone who doesn’t thinks it’s LeBron James is LYING or JEALOUS!

Messi and Ronaldo joint for me. Football the biggest and most popular sport in the world, and they’ve been the faces of it for 20 years. It’s hard to think of one of them without thinking of the other

Aside from Messi and Ronaldo I’m going Tyson Fury. I don’t like him but he’s universally known. Cracked US which is the hardest one to do. Travis Kelce is probably up there due to the Taylor Swift connection. Djokovic also in within a shout

Is Fury bigger than McGregor? I wouldn’t have thought so

Virat Kohli has 271 million followers on instagram… Tyson Fury has 6.8 million. Not even close !

Globally, no one is bigger than Messi/Ronaldo. LeBron probably up there. Someone like Virat Kohli is bigger than Shohei? 🤔

Yeah Kholi is massive and has global recognition

He never was the biggest name in sports…

Viral Kohli is one of the most followed athletes on the planet… don’t sleep on the size of Cricket in India and Pakistan. Ofc, Ronaldo and Messi are the biggest

It was never LeBron. It was Messi or Cristiano.

In America, there’s still no one bigger than LeBron. Worldwide? I’d say Messi and Ronaldo are still the two biggest names. I love Shohei but he isn’t a household name like LeBron has been for 20+ years

Tiger Woods id say is bigger than LeBron. Golf is a more global sport than Basketball

Ronaldo defo the biggest name and brand. Messi closely followed.

Ohtani isn’t even a bigger name than John McGinn

Gotta be Ronaldo. But shoutout to my guy Conor McGregor!
markmarston1w ago
I know absolutely nothing about Basketball so I may have a different angle to bring considering I only know the big names… Steph Curry immediately sprung to my mind. Is he up there?
jamesshearman231w ago
He’s the clear No. 2 behind LeBron in the NBA

Depends on the metric - Ronaldo, Messi then LeBron if social following. If it’s about talent at the moment, that brings in Ohtani, Alcatraz, Sinner, Mahomes, Mbappe, Harland and maybe Jude.

Virat Kohli has more followers than 99% of footballers
jamesshearman231w ago
Ohtani has 10m IG followers and LeBron has 150m. Messi & Ronaldo are the 2 biggest names by a mile but Virat Kohli is also up there
gomatz771w ago
Wow hearing Kohli shouts is refreshing! But I think Ronaldo does take this one. Messi and him I guess then It has to be LBJ and Curry

Messi is no. 1 for me, Ohtani no. 2.
jamesshearman231w ago
Ohtani could walk though my local high street without anyone noticing

Sorry but baseball just isn’t a thing outside of USA really… in America it’s LeBron, outside it’s Messi/Ronaldo and maybe even like Tiger Woods etc
jamesshearman231w ago
It’s huge in Japan and Central America tbf but you’re spot on. LeBron and Tiger are way bigger
george.patten1w ago
It’s messi or Ronaldo. American sports it’s still LeBron
markmarston1w ago
Tiger Woods is bigger than LeBron id say
