All of that is fine. But, Basketball is not a mainstream sport outside of the USA, and if it takes someone like that to attract younger people to the sport, then IMO the sport is doing something wrong.
Can't see those younger people wanting to watch another race if Le Bron or someone similar isn't waving the flag.
The point being that the sport is more than just today, it's about history. Watch the drivers of today and if you are interested you'll want to find out about the previous eras. You aren't going to go back and find out who waved the flag in 1968, but you would want to know who won and in what car.
And I'm certainly not decrying the man himself who I believe, is an outstanding ambassador for his sport.
