Magic Players Social Media Impact
By: Wyatt Nebergall
I’ll keep the written part of this short, no need to explain the impact of social media and the incline of athletes being aware of their brand and reach. Aaron Gordon and Wes Iwundu making rap music and videos. MCW Tik Tok impressions. These guys have interests outside of the NBA. Who has the biggest audience though? Check out this graph and see if any of this is interesting to you! Vuc the only player with no IG, data present for everyone else.
Markelle is far and away most popular on Instagram Aaron Gordon the only other player more popular than the Orlando Magic themselves. Mo Bamba honorable mention maybe in a couple of years big guy.
