Played in the last 25 years so he counts, it doesn't matter if it was the Wizards years. I get that you don't want him to fit the question though.
Asked his jersey sales, that was my example. I think his jersey sales in the last 25 years would pale in comparison to LeBron’s. Would you disagree?
A to D!
Eh, after Tiger came along, significant changes were made to real courses. Augusta - has gotten 500 yards longer, trees added, fairways narrowed, etc. Prior to that, Tiger once won Augusta by (I believe) 12 strokes. We might not be able to see the changes from the tv screen, but, the courses and how to play them have changed since Tiger.
What exactly has Tiger influenced? He was hugely popular at one time because he was so great at golf and he brought excitement but bringing the game to black America and to the inner city never materialized. As far as fashion and cultural influence he was making about $20 million per year from Nike while Jordan is making over $300 million per year from Nike. I don't see everyone wearing red Nike t-shirts and black slacks. Did he make trying to hold onto what little hair he has left cool? Did he make sleeping with adult film actresses and Perkins waitresses cool?
Zero. He influenced zero
LeBron is/was a novelty,….he won’t come close to the staying power of MJ. How anyone could even debate this is insane.
I'm confused, often in conversations about a player or coach going to the Lakers, the input is they should not, b/c Lebron runs the show - the show of a $10B organization ... that's at least minimally influential, no?
How they miss Tiger. This is an issue with LLMs.
Wasn't arguing for Clark as the answer to this question, just within women's basketball.
The guy that played two seasons in that span?
It still counts the OP said an athlete in the past 25 years. He didn't say an athlete in the past 25 years but but but hold on you can't mention MJ because he played 2. Jordan only playing 2 seasons and being the top influencer just further proves that point.
The stats would suggest you’re wildly off. Tiger started an absolute boom of the game, which outside of the recession, has pretty much continued ever since. He’s still the biggest draw in golf, even when he was limping around the course not making cuts.
How is beginning golf measured? From looking up the site they credit numbers being up because of covid being a boon for golf. They credit social distancing, gold simulators and the like.The stats would suggest you’re wildly off.

Seems with the greats, if you're not a fan, you're a hater up through retirement. Then when fans aren't exhausted of you anymore, they tend to appreciate the achievement with more objectivity. Case in point Brady as well.
Lack of staying power and LeBron in the same sentence….I have truly seen it all on here.
This is the only mention of Ohtani in this thread.
Just sorta came and went
But they know who Caitlyn Clark is? Or Simone Biles? Or Megan Rapinoe (all 3 mentioned before Ohtani in this thread).
