Funny how nobody knew LeBron was even a name before 2002-2003.

Look at the Kobe from 2000-2003
Dude got that recognition from the Finals and rape allegations

Dude your life must suck!

Year before LeBron became famous:

6 Babies

Best Year:

110 Babies

= 1733% increase

Year before Kobe:

87 babies

Peak:

1552 Babies

1684% increase

So it's close. Factor in that Kobe plays in a huge LA market and the fact that you can really only name a black baby LeBron where as Kobe is a more versatile name and i gotta give the edge to LeBron.

[Mr. Jabbar]

notice how 2004-2011 lebron was steady at around 95 babies per year, then after the decision it was cut to half and rings* have not mattered, you know ghetto parents who name babies after famous ppl dont want their sons to become shortcutists

June 26, 2003: Drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1st round (1st pick) of the 2003 NBA Draft.

Doesn't count 2003..




June 26, 1996: Drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1st round (13th pick) of the 1996 NBA Draft.

Counts 1996..


Go back to the drawing board.. you're drunk.

True but LeBron in '02 was as much a household as Kobe in '96 (cause of the HS hype). It's a fairer comparison.

Who's going to be the first to name their female kid Lebron.

People were too busy naming their babies after my boy LeRon Ellis to even think about 'Bron

Just like Kobe's dropped after he raped someone

Is Baby name% increase the best way to rank players? I think so.

[fiddy]

If you had an IQ over 40, you'd realize that I was actually propping up Kobe here if anything. LMAO at this mental midget.

stay salty junior

[Akrazotile]

Kibe has an advantage in this statistical category because parents naturally want to provide realistic expectations for their kid.

A top 5 player all time like Lebron is a very daunting comparisn for a young child to be able to live up to, but someone like Kobe who is just a volume scorer on a great organization is more within the reach of an average, middle-of-the-pack child.


If you dissect the numbers I am sure you will find that the Lebron parents are more ambitious and optimistic about the future of their children, whereas the kobe parents are realistic, and understand that the world still needs garbage men and front desk help at the tanning salon.
