Just checking Google Trends, as you suggested...
- TheMissingData 7y agoLarry > Magic might be the HN bubble, but Magic > Larry definitely is the US bubble. Most of the world does not care about basketball at all.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoExcept China. I’m always asked about the NBA when I visit China, and I know nothing about basketball.
- philwelch 7y agoIn the US, the number one Larry that is a rival to Magic is not even Larry Page.
- sonnyblarney 7y agoHilarious: in the US, Larry Bird a guy who has not played ball in almost 30 years (!) is still way more popular than Larry Page. At least according to G trends. The the OPs point however, Wikipedia is a special place.
- philwelch 7y agoHow many people ever paid money to go watch Larry Page at work for a day? Corporate executives have wealth and power; let the ballplayers have the celebrity :)
