Here’s a longish piece about Zion Williamson from SportsProMedia.com about his marketability and his business potential.
The headline is: “Building the brand of a number one draft pick: Can Zion be as marketable as LeBron?”
It’s a tall order, no pun intended. Basketball wise, LeBron is way ahead of Zion with more than a decade and a half of professional experience and absolute worst case, he’s a Top Ten player of all time. Quick list, no particular order:
- Bill Russell
- Michael Jordan
- Wilt Chamberlain
- Larry Bird
- Magic Johnson
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
- LeBron James
- Oscar Robertson
- Julius Erving
It’s rare air.
