I think someone becoming the face of the NBA is a different thing than being the best player.

Are Joker/Giannis/Embiid anything close to that idea right now? Duncan is a top 10 all-time player, but was he ever anything close to that? I don't think so.

He has a certain hype that none of those guys had on the way up, but he doesn't seem (from what I've seen) to have a hyper-dynamic personality or ultra-high levels of charisma (which is fine), but I could be wrong.

Baby Jordan 5000 in Anthony Edwards might have something to say about that.

He really has been fun to watch.

In terms of attitude, vibe, and charisma I think he might be on that level, even if he's a cut below the first tier of best players in the NBA.

Ant, Wemby, SGA, Luka, Maxey, maybe Cade & Paolo. All of them are 25 and younger.

They have to take the title away from Joker first.

Maybe not the face of the league per se but when Houston gets back into the playoffs Alperen Sengun's gonna get his shine.

Little late to the game but i recently watched hustle and he was pretty good in it, I forgot he was an actual nba star during the movie.

If he goes to the Lakers he will absolutely be the face of the nba.
