    I still say Kobe will be one of the best. Now that Nike is going give him his own brand. (Like how MJ has his Jordan Bradn, Kobe is supposed to get his soon too. After the trial, anyways.) Rumor has it that Nike already has a shoe for him, but isn't final. Code named the vindicate8

    ^ Sweet

    Kobe + own team + endorsements + refs = MJ with 3 pt shot

    The trial screwed him

    But he would've been the premiere player for the NBA. We will see how LBJ does next year, no more "he's a rookie" excuse.

    i say LBJ and u know why? even non ballers know about him. one of my frens dont know nuts about Bball and she brought an LBJ jersey last week. all the people i know have an idea of who Lebron is, but not iverson.

    Most marketable player, on a global scale, is Yao Ming. Easily. In the US it will be LeBron. Kobe's image is forever tarnished, I think.

    I'd say Iverson. You basically can't go anywhere in the world without seeing some AI gear. Lebron might come close in the future, but Iverson is the guy right now.

    I think it is Lebron right now, but it would easily be Kobe if the scandal would've never happened. But over seas it is easily MJ and Yao Ming. They love MJ in Asia. He is like there number one unborn sun. Iverson, and Shaq are up there also.

    Yao Ming. As everyone mentioned he has the fan worship of an entire nation in China as well as almost all asian North Americans as well. He is the #1 player to endorse if you were looking to make the most profit. Second would be Lebron.

    Just call Yao the eminem of the basketball world.
