[raymond23]

Detroit went from one of the absolute best lists to one of the absolute worst over the last decade... don't even feel like doing one because it'd be depressing lol.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

idk,

DeGrom, Lundqvist, Jamal Adams, a bunch of Yankees....

Jamal Adams?

As someone who’s from NYC, has a lot of family there, and visits basically every summer, I highly doubt he’s top 10.

I’d imagine it goes:

Judge
Saquon
Sánchez
Eli
Torres
Alonso
RJ
DeGrom
Darnold
Lundqvist

 

[SimpleJack]

Kane
Toews
Mack
Baez
Rizzo
Giolito
Jordan
Walt Disney
CM Punk
Han Solo


HM: Versteeg, Soulja Boy, Hugh Hefner

 

[skiba77777]

Kane
Toews
Mack
Baez
Rizzo
Giolito
Jordan
Walt Disney
CM Punk
Han Solo


HM: Versteeg, Soulja Boy, Hugh Hefner

Bryant is objectively better than Baez and Rizzo, but alright

 

[Machinehead]

Ability and popularity are radically different so I'm doing two lists.

Ability:

1) Rob Pannell
2) Aaron Judge
3) Kevin Durant
4) Jacob deGrom
5) Kyrie Irving
6) Gary Sanchez
7) Mat Barzal
8) Gleyber Torres
9) Artemi Panarin
10) Pete Alonso

HM to Maxi Moralez who is pretty sick but MLS just isn't a world class league in its own sport so it doesn't feel right including it.

Popularity:

1) Aaron Judge
2) Jacob deGrom
3) Henrik Lundqvist
4) Gary Sanchez
5) Noah Syndergaard
6) Pete Alonso
7) Giancarlo Stanton
8) Didi Gregorius
9) Gleyber Torres
10) CC Sabathia

That's a lot of baseball.

Pete Alonso could easily be higher on both but I wanted to take into account more than just this season. He'll probably get there.

 

[Leafsrock95]

Lowry
Siakam
Ibaka
Matthews
Marner
Nylander
Tavares
Guerrero
Stroman
Raonic maybe

Irving and Durant should b on both list basketball is way more popular worldwide.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I don't live in a city. I live in a village of like 20 people

 

[Machinehead]

Yes, but they haven't stepped foot on a court in New York, and I was thinking in terms of their popularity here.

They'll be there next year.

 

[SimpleJack]

Bryant is objectively better than Baez and Rizzo, but alright

Not really. He’s been good this season but subpar and injury prone the past few years. And even this season Baez and Rizzo are just as good offensively as Bryant(more HR/RBI, slightly lower OPS/BA) and remain elite defensively.

The Nets have like, 7 fans.

They could get prime Jordan, Magic, and LeBron on the same team and NYC will still be a Knicks town.
