The hype that a player receives before he even has the opportunity to showcase what he can do always makes a great story and is a good way to market the player himself, the league, the sport, and even other related brands. The world of basketball is always in search of the next big thing, so the hype surrounding up-and-comers is something that will never fail to attract attention. Those players who enter the league with a huge amount of hype have very often lived up to what the media has been selling. A perfect example of this is Michael Jordan, who came into the NBA as a hyped-up college star; Jordan had a great career at UNC and won a title as a freshman with a spectacular, game-winning shot. Jordan was so hyped that he was already being offered endorsement deals and signed with a shoe company even before he played his first NBA game. As most of us know, MJ certainly lived up to that hype, as he eventually became the league's biggest star during his era and is still widely regarded as the greatest of all time. Meanwhile, another much-hyped player, Shaquille O'Neal, also came into the NBA with a lot of attention and did not disappoint us with a career built on his physical dominance, marketable personality, and championship pedigree--he went on to become one of the greatest centers in the history of the sport. As the NBA reached the 2000s, LeBron James became the league's most-hyped prospect. James, even as a high school player, had a rare and exciting combination of size, skill, and athleticism that positively screamed "NBA star." Did you enjoy this excerpt?
