Lebron James? No way a rookie is more popular than on of the four greatest centers of all time (along with Russell, Chamberlain, and Jabbar). As for the question regarding Shaq vs. RW, I love Ricky but his introverted precludes him from reaching media icon status and I think that suits him just fine. Take it from a guy who lives in LA where pictures of Shaq are painted on 20 story buildings--Shaq will be the biggest sports figure in Miami since Dan Marino.
