Who are the most famous athletes playing in Miami right now?
I've got some inner Miami questions for you guys. I have been fascinated by Messi's bodyguard who runs up and down the sidelines and no longer is allowed to run up and down the sidelines, and he says it's crazy. In all his years in the Premier League, there were like six people who ran on the field, and now there have been 20 in a few months here because Messi of the general insanity around Messi. Just out of curiosity, we can say flatly, right, that Luis Suarez is the second most famous athlete in Miami, correct? Internationally.
Yeah, globally. It's not even close. It's not even remotely close when you put together social media numbers, roar, reach, marketing dollars, even money earned. Luis Suarez is the second most famous athlete. Jonah Bride. I don't even know who that is. It's a Marlin, I assume. He's batting like 088. Yeah, and I would lump LeBron and Dwyane Wade in this mix.
It's early.
I think you make an argument that Luis Suarez is the second most globally famous athlete to play in South Florida, period, behind Messi. I think globally, Luis Suarez might be more famous than LeBron James.
I assume you're asking about in Miami, though.
I'm saying that he works and plays in Miami and is the second most famous athlete on earth to be playing in Miami. But not in Miami.
No, not in Miami, for sure. For one thing, everybody is swallowed by the shadow of Messi. If you're playing for Inter-Miami, I don't care who you are, and now they're talking about getting the Belgian midfielder from Man United.
Man City, Kevin LeBron.
Or Man City, right.
Yeah, LeBron is the second most famous. I just did a run there.
All-time. All-time. All-time, right.
Yeah, but right now, actively, it's not even remotely close.
This is a confusing question, because I know what David is saying, and I know what you guys are saying. You guys are saying the most famous player playing in Miami, and you're talking worldwide, where he's making a distinction of he might be the second most famous worldwide, but he's not the second most famous in Miami at this time.
Not even certain he's in the top five. Manu. Unrecognizable. Tua. In the park.
Okay, but when I ask people who want fame, which fame would you rather have? Fame that's just in Miami or international fame? I'm talking about global fame. I'm talking about somebody who is, I guess he's 39 years old. I thought he was spent. The first year I saw, watched him, he looked like a square block that was moving very slowly.
What makes Luis Suarez a valuable player despite his age?
And yet him and Messi are so much better than everyone that they're playing against that inner Miami is the thing that it is because these two human beings are on this team. Even at an advanced age, I understand that aging has now changed in sports and science has changed in sports. But I thought, not unlike Russell Westbrook, I thought the best of Luis Suarez was well behind us. I didn't think that he would be giving us good soccer approaching 40.
You're right. The best of him is well behind us. However, form is temporary, class is permanent, and he can do things even though he certainly can't run the way that he used to. I don't even know if he has cartilage in his knees. His knee situation, he could have medically retired years ago, but there is a certain class that he brings to the game, a vision.
