HoF trajectory over 10 seasons. 2 time MVP. Cover of SI. Multiple national level, major endorsements. A shoe line.
Like .... how is that fading?
Cover of SI was over a decade ago. National endorsements are par for the course at his level, every athlete has them.
His shoe line is with the worst shoemaker in the national-level apparel industry and an apparel company that is completely dead (as of right now) with young athletes, but I'm sure does well in the baseball player demo considering UA's core audience and rural/suburban baseball players are basically a circle. Yawn.
Bryce was supposed to be the LeBron of baseball. No one is doing First Take segments on Bryce or spitting out hot takes on national radio shows about him. He's had like 8 managers in 10 years and no one even cares. An NFL QB farts and gets an hour on ESPN. Steph Curry is on TV 24/7. Part of that is baseball being baseball for sure, but I don't think it's all on the game being boring.
