Question Who has the most star power out of any active athlete of the 4 major US sports right
There just is not any Jordan right now of any kind. I guess maybe Brady, Manning or Kobe might be closest.

Who else?

i think tiger has quite a bit ofpower as well; though he doesnt play a major sport.
I think LeBron has thepotential to be pretty close to Jordan as far as marketing. Manning is pretty close; brady lags behind.

if we are talking worldwide, yao is not even in any conversation...

worldwide, you still have beckham pushing quite a bit of merchandise; after him you got Federer, and a few other soccer players like Ronaldinho.

Football, basketball, baseball and.... i know you can mean hockey?

Dont get me wrong i love hockey, but the term major in terms of national appeal does not realy fit.

So I will go with Golf.

Tiger Woods is this generations Jordan

well, for NHL it's surely one of

Vincent Lecavalier
Jarome Iginla
Sidney Crosby
Ilya Kovalchuk
or Alex Ovechkin

none of them is US American... but they all are awesome Hockeyplayers... imho Alex would be the winner out of those... he is young... DAMN YOUNG! and still he carries the entire team on his 2 shoulders...

Star Power in the US...well obviously Tiger

but confining it to the big 4...

Eli has got to have the most commercial stuff going...but I dont know who is producing the most revenue...shoes seem to be the big thing and I would say Lebron's are probably the best selling...single highest item.....Eli endorses stuff...LeBrons stuff carry his name...

Jeter has got to be close and then ARod
