LeBron James He is still the King of the NBA. At least that is what the followers of the best basketball league and the fans of the Lakers forward believe and they reflect it on social networks, where the four-time NBA champion maintains his hegemony without anyone discussing it.
The Lakers player has ‘broken’ the barrier of 100 million followers on Instagram and although he still has to reach 354 million Cristiano Ronaldo, the most followed athlete in the world, that figure is enough to be the most followed athlete in the United States.
In fact, LeBron stands out as the sports figure with the most followers in his country, surpassing the sum of all the ‘followers’ of the NBA (60.1 million), NFL (21.7), NHL (4.9), MLB (7.9), MLS (2) and WNBA (1.2). James has more than the major leagues combined, which have 96.8 million followers.
The four-time NBA MVP is by far the most followed NBA player on Instagram, followed with more than 60 million ‘followers’ apart by Stephen Curry (36.7 million followers) and his new Lakers teammate Russell Westbrook (18).
