I think we’re confusing talent with influence 
Since viewership in the NBA is declining  
Even though there are Great players it’s difficult to match the MJ surge or even the Magic:LB surge  . I remember when the NBA was minor league .
A good example would be Jack Nicholson was a better golfer than Arnold Palmer but something about Arnie got a whole new demographic interested in the game.. 
it’s as much about 
 Rizz than talent 
Catlyn Clark has had a huge influence on her sport  so she is a great example . 
   Did Serena inspire a resurgence of US tennis? IDK . I can’t name a single US men’s or women player to replace them , 
but maybe that’s me 
I know McEnroe and Connor’s although not as good were more influential than Pete Sampras .
I think the Steroid guys were hugely influential on the resurgence of baseball
that an 
unavoidable irony 
 The game is different because  of them 
Depending on the success of the US in the next WC  
Someone or  even a couple may emerge to elevate thst sport to main stream . 
It’s difficult to be influential when you sport is at it’s peak  
Tiger should have been more influential 
I think the PGA system prevents entry
