Colin Cowherd crowns LeBron James the most Influential player ever: “When LeBron made a decision and two days later they announce the 76ers will play in the most tv games. That’s with the New York Knicks have just been crowned champs, and Wemby is going to be the face... of the league. And LeBron will have more games on tv than anyone else. Fanatics said LeBron sold the most jerseys ever recorded for a player joining a new team across all sports. So you can keep hating. Brands matters. This is something that needs to be said. LeBron James is the most influential player in nba history. Jordan is just the best shoe salesman. Michael Jordan played for nine years and said i need a break it’s too much, hid in his hotel room, went to play baseball. And LeBron James at year 24 is just like bring it on.” Bron fans are going to love this - Herd w/Colin Cowherd Colin Cowherdshow more

Yeah anyone arguing this just a hater. The Sixers as an organization boutta make more money than they ever did too

Facts on facts

LeBron’s brand is unmatched influence over pure basketball legacy any day.

I'm with you!

Anyone knows this is true. Glad Coward has some brains

Yeah I'm glad he said this bro

@THEEJoeMess “Most influential” yet no players emulate him on the court and he can’t sell sneakers to save his life. Sure.

@SportsWithJay0 No players? This aint even worth an argument, you're just a dummy

@SportsWithJay0 Start naming them, goofy. All the young stars say they studied Kobe or KD.

@SportsWithJay0 Lmao I gotta name because you're too fucking dumb to know them. Yikes.

@SportsWithJay0 You can’t name them because there are none. Keep responding with nothing.

@SportsWithJay0 You have zero basketball knowledge my friend. Everyones laughing at your dumb ass

MJ catching some bullets😂😂

I couldn’t believe my ears 😭😭

The Jordan Brand generates 7.3 Billion dollars annually. Bron's shoes do about 500 million annually. Jordan Brand is used in the NBA, college basketball, college football, all over the world. No comparison, keep those jersey sales while MJ's brand does billions

Jordan has his own logo. But LeBron has huge influence in Flopping. It is so huge that the WNBA and the youth all flop now out no end in sight. Great job, LeBron!

5 out, small ball and the best players like Jokic and giannis running offenses is the product of LeBron and don’t get me started of he’s by far the most influential when it comes to off court shit so he’s right

More BS. This year the NBA finals enjoyed it's highest viewership & NBA ratings since when? "1998" when the Bulls & MJ played Utah, "28 years ago". During this time the self-proclaimed GOAT & King couldn't bring in the public to watch, NBA viewership and ratings declined...

Mj is definitly no question morr influental than lebron, nobody outside the us would even know of the nba if it werent for mj, also why does every player want to weart 23, including bron??? Dis just disrespectful

@TheHerd @colincowherd Correct, he influenced the league to change the rules to fit the anointed King’s game. If they wanted him to be able to lower his shoulder and plow through the lane, they had to make the league softer. The LeBron era ruined the game of basketball.

This is fucking ASANINE. LeBron isn’t the most influential athlete what!? When do kids pick up a ball because of Bron? Who did he inspire to hoop? Kobe and MJ are the 2 most influential nba players EVER especially globally. Shoes, Jerseys, work ethic, no excuses, playing injured

Meanwhile Colin probably has multiple pairs of Jordans in his closet

“I look at the NBA… with Ben Simmons, ‘Hey LeBron, we are good, bro. You can go… We’re all good here.’” Colin 2018

You must be on the payroll with all these ignorant statements. Or just a flaming homosexual that diddles the doodled Dudley at the playboy mansion!

Michael Jordan dominated a league and won 6 championships in 6 full seasons. LeBron never did that, because no one’s ever done that, except for those old Celtic teams. 🐐

He retired because his father got murdered you stupid ass. Lebron can not sniff MJ's jock let alone hold it.

2 weeks ago he didn’t even say he was the most influential player of his era…

He'll be trashing him in 72 hours😏

No one sucks lebrons dick harder than Colin

How Dumb is Colin he nevered like Kobe but preys on him to be compared with

Colin with LeBron’s cock.

He has no brand and can’t even carry a shoe line.

Blah blah blah Jordan still is the number all time jersey seller

Just glad he’s gone happy for the Sixers cashing in on him too

I can express my utter disdain for Cowherd’s BS opinions and still respect when he has a very good take…this is one of those times. 🎯

Another dumb, empty take from a media full of them.

My Goat

Delusional take. No one has had more influence than MJ 😂😂 lechoke literally has benefitted from MJs influence.

“Bring it on”?!?! He doesn’t even cross half court to play defense! 😂

Lol

Hopefully he doesn’t load manage too much then. People are paying big bucks to see him play, not sit on the bench.

GOAT James, period and point blank

Ain’t never seen nobody get robbed for LeBron sneakers 😂🤷🏾‍♂️
