How though?
With the advent of social media it seems that superstars get exposure no matter where they are.

yeah, you don't need to live in a big market. The big stars will get it no matter what. BUT, PG isn't a big star so perhaps it helps someone like him.
Cant compare him to Blake. Blake blew up right from the start. Shining in dunk contests, flying all over the place. He was a marketers dream. PG is just PG. He isn't doing anything we haven't seen before. Throw in the fact that Blake was good at making fun of himself with the dry humor, it just worked.
Has nothing to do with who i think is better. I just don't think PG is marketable like that. He's most famous for that gruesome injury.
I think PG is being overestimated on what he can bring. Not one of you Lakers fans thinks he's going to be the guy to make you contenders. You guys are hoping he's going to be robin to the batman thats also going to be here.

Don't believe me just watch. According to y'all he shouldn't even be considering the Lakers at all yet he is. And even more explicitly named them as his destination of choice. It can't be about the roster right? Y'all said all we got is bums.

You gave no concrete examples, you just kept repeating yourself. So no, I'm not going to believe you.

Pretty much this.
I'm getting tired of people overblowing the big market angle.
This isn't the 80s/90s.

exactly. We have more games on tv. It don't matter.
Russ was behind LBJ, KD, Steph, and Harden, as he should be.

Miami is a bigger market than Cleveland. I doubt LeBron got any more exposure or opportunities playing here than he has in Cleveland.

So on that premise you said he's not about why do you think he is so hell bent on coming here beyond the homecoming?

Why? He used LeBron as an example. He said, "why do you think LeBron wants to come here?"

This. The whole "he'll make more money off the court in bigger cities" myth is way over blown in todays age.

Are we just ignoring all the reports that PG really isn't all that hell bent on coming to LA?

The LAL are a GREAT organization.
Hell, i can speak for myself. I'm not about winning. I'd be playing in LA and taking less just to live here, because i'm from here. LA is a great place to be for a lot of people.

Somehow someway Pat Riley is gonna finesse PG or Hayward to the Heat.

Paul George is the 12th highest in the NBA as far as endorsements. He definitely has room to earn more.
