LeBron James is one of the most famous athletes in the world. Only the top global corporations can afford to use ‘Bron’ in their marketing campaigns, as he has over 157 million Instagram followers and 52.7 million on X.
However, despite being more than 100 million Instagram followers behind the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, Stephen Curry still attracts massive audiences to NBA games.
‘The Boardroom’ claims that over the past eight years, Curry has played in each of the 27 most-watched games.
A lot of people were looking forward to the 2022–23 NBA season so that James may pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in scoring.
On February 7th, 2019, the King finally scored 38 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder to become the all-time scoring leader.
Despite its historic nature, the Lakers-Thunder game was only the ninth most-watched NBA game of the season, with only 3.7 million viewers.An eye-popping figure was recently revealed by @boardroom. There have been 27 games since 2015 that have received over 14 million views each.
With his participation in all 27 games, Curry has proven that he can exceed James in terms of viewership despite having far less followers on social media. In a tweet, NBA Buzz draws attention to this information.
NBA releases schedule for opening night of 2023/24 season
Shams Charania has announced the opening games of the upcoming NBA season, and they promise to be exciting. On opening night, before facing LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for the first game of the season, the Denver Nuggets will be presented with their championship rings.The Nuggets’ supremacy was on full display in last year’s Western Conference Finals, when they swept the Lakers for only the second time in LeBron James’ career. The Lakers aren’t resting on their laurels despite the victory still being fresh in their minds. Their efforts in the free agent market and the draft indicate they are serious about challenging for the Western Conference title once again.
The other marquee matchup of opening night features two clubs that have undergone significant transformations over the offseason: the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors. New Suns forward Bradley Beal will make his debut, while new Warriors point guard Chris Paul will face off against his former squad.There’s more tension to come. Former Warriors star Kevin Durant is ready to make his mark under the Suns’ banner, adding heat to an already fiery rivalry. Fans should anticipate a highly tense, emotional contest as Durant prepares to face his old team.
The stakes have never been higher than they are now as the NBA begins its next chapter. New alliances have been formed as old ones fall apart. Everything is all set to go on stage.
