LeBron James Is The Most Dominant Force On Social Media

While the NBA and NFL have been competing for the #1 most popular league in all of professional sports in the United States for a while now, we still can’t crown a definite winner due to the indifference in games played and playoff formats.

But one thing is for certain! The NBA is the king among leagues when it comes to social media. Just take the official Instagram accounts as an example. The NBA’s official account has a larger audience than the NFL, MLB and NHL’s have together.

On top of the NBA crowning on top of the others, the league’s best player, LeBron James, is taking things to a whole new level. You see, LeBron has 42.4 million followers on Instagram, that is more than the top 10 most followed NFL stars have combined. Yes, combined.

How dominant is the NBA on social media? LeBron James has more Instagram followers than the top-10 most-followed NFL players COMBINED. And NBA's official IG has a larger audience than NFL, MLB and NHL put together. https://t.co/X0xCxbTPyQ pic.twitter.com/M6ADYbciOd
