Who could be the next face of the NBA after Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James retires? Potential candidates to accede to such a status include Dallas Mavericks star forward Luka Doncic and All-NBA Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who are frequently mentioned in such conversation. But there’s no clear heir apparent among analysts of the league so far.
Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry and star Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant are still elite but getting older, and younger stars like Doncic and Tatum haven’t won championships with their respective teams yet. And what about rising stars like Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?
Could Tatum, the NBA’s most-endorsed player, take LeBron’s place?
