    For my city, and the entire country, it's definitely Carlos Arroyo. He's the only puertorican to have a constant career in the NBA.

    I am actually gona say that for the average Torontonian, it would be Mats Sundin. Hockey is biggest, here, and he is the biggest player hes on tons of things. BUT for the average person, basketball wise im gona say that it may be Bosh now, but maybe as early as next year it will be Andrea Bargnani, becuase he represents the Italian/European culture in Toronto. And he will be a STUD.

    Definitely Gilbert Arenas.. Alex Ovechkin could be considered, though.

    Really for Denver, there is 3, maybe even 4 that are. Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Champ Bailey, and Jay Cutler could after this year. The most talked about is probably AI now, but 'Melo and Champ are holy here. In Denver, the QB is either hated or loved. People still want the next John Elway so if he can have a good season he is going to be up there.

    In Dallas? Dirk.Previous holders: Mike Modano, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith, Nolan Ryan, LandryIn College Station, I'd still say Acie is the man. Jorvorskie Lane would be the replacement at least until DeAndre Jordan starts playing. Reggie McNeal would be the last major face of A&M [​IMG] .

    For Orlando, it is easily Dwight Howard. No one else in the city even comes close to him right now.

Dwight Howard shows up everywhere, like on bill boards, the advertisements on TV he is on more often. In the tourism books that have advertisements for the Magic, they always show his picture, and name him first. There is definately no on else up there in front of Dwight Howard in Orlando, everyone loves him.Arroyo is definately number two, and that is a good reason why he wasn't benched for long behind Deiner last year, or why the Magic won't trade him for just anyone. He brings in alot of fans, but he's not up there with Dwight Howard.

    [​IMG]Used to be Larry Bird and then Reggie Miller, but now it's between one of those two, probably Peyton because he's a much more public figure

    I don't live in a city, but the star of our state right now has to be QB Colt Brennan. If any of you guys like college football, I suggest you watch Colt play on ESPN a few times this season. He recently broke the single-season TD record with like 55 or 56.... He's our new Timmy Chang, Chang broke the all-time passing yardage record two seasons ago so we have a pretty dang good group of football players.
