At the age of 39, LeBron James is no longer the best star of the National Basketball Association (NBA), but he is still the name that attracts the most attention in this playground.
At this point, LeBron James is almost 40 years old and is no longer as energetic as before. Although the star born in 1984 is not in the top scorers of the NBA 2023 – 2024, he is still an indispensable factor at the Los Angeles Lakers . At an age when many other players have retired, King James is still persistent, often playing the most minutes on the team and scoring efficiency is only behind teammate Anthony Davis (born in 1993).
With his name and outstanding performance in the Lakers jersey, LeBron James is still a character that attracts a lot of attention from basketball fans. According to statistics, the “veteran” of the Lakers is the person who attracts the most views on the NBA’s social media platforms. As of this point in the 2023-2024 season, James has 756 million views.

Meanwhile, the second place is a big surprise when it belongs to Victor Wembanyama (508 million views). This French player is only 19 years old (born in 2004) and is an NBA rookie in the San Antonio Spurs club. Since the beginning of the 2023 – 2024 season, this 2.24 m tall shooter has become a new phenomenon in the NBA, playing 25 games and scoring an average of 18.5 points/game.
Number 3 on the list of the hottest names in the NBA is Stephen Curry , the Golden State Warriors’ excellent 3-point shooter.

From 4th to 10th place, respectively: Kevin Durant – 259 million views, Giannis Antetokounmpo – 259 million views, Luka Doncic – 199 million views, Tyrese Haliburton – 146 million views, James Harden – 146 million views, Chet Holmgren – 122 million views, Jayson Tatum – 118 million views.
This list is confusing, as it does not include the brightest star of the NBA at the moment. The current MVP of the tournament, Joel Embiid, although still maintaining his destructive form and currently leading the scoring list with an average of 35.1 points/game, does not have enough appeal to be in the top 10 most viewed athletes in the NBA.
