Kobe, but Magic Johnson might be all time most beloved as far as players. I remember when I was in Phoenix it was Steve Nash, the guy was a local hero.

Really there is no one for Atlanta. Years ago it was easily Vick without question. Now nobody sticks out.

Before the ACL injury it was him hands down. Hard to be optimistic about a guy who has barely played the past few seasons. Also some people hate him for the whole "Return" debacle in 2012/2013 + his idiot brother.

Nah, you can make a case for Steph having it for a bit. Around the time he got the keys to the city.

Honestly in NYC I can't think of anyone other than Jeter who is even in contention... They definitely need a star here in something.

In LA its Kobe.
Where I live in the Redondo Manhattan Beach area I would say its Dustin Brown or Quick or any random LA Kings star. Those dudes are beloved in the beach city area since they live around here on top of win regularly.

I cannot stand David Wright. I was so upset when I heard about that new hefty contract they gave him last year, or 2 years ago.

As a Bay Area resident, this list is absolutely ridiculous. Laughable.

He's been worthless since the departure of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran. He's not capable of being the guy in your lineup. He's only good when he has good hitters around him. Every since the homer derby is career went downhill. The strikeouts, the fear to get beaned in the head. This was a man at one point was a guarantee to battle back from an 0-2 count and either draw a walk or get a base hit. Now he gets to two strikes and its a guaranteed out. I miss Jose.
