No one cared about them before May 2011 either. Again, this is a ridiculous survey.

QFT, survey means nothing.  LeBron is the most marketable cause his image regardless of postive/negative response will revoke a reaction.  LeBron had 100m worth of endorsements, hihest rated finals appearance in a long time.  Dirk is only surveyed as the most cause he is the foil to everything Bron supposedly represents.

How does he not have a lifetime deal with his favorite beer? How?!

He's marketable because he just won the championship and he's white. Was he even in the top 10 in this survey last season?

^ So the list of the rest of the most marketable people would be names like Brian Wilson, Jason Kidd, and Aaron Rodgers, right?

I bet they're not even in the top million.

Brian Wilson and Aaron Rodgers don't play basketball and maybe if this was 2002 J-Kidd would be on the list (he's also black). Dirk is the main man on the team that just won the championship, who is also white and is everything that LeBron is not.....in a sports world that's doing everything possible to go Anti-Bron. Not too tough to do the math there....

Do you mean total, or just last year? Because he only had 28m in endorsements last year (not that that's bad or anything).....

Damn... it does say 'NBA' in the thread title.

My bad w/ Wilson and Aaron.

Anyways... I'm thinking the rest of the list is pretty much all non-white, non champions. Kobe, Wade, Bron, Rose, Dwight...
