No doubt the first one is Michael Jackson. Music knows no borders. Michael Jordan, synonymous with basketball and the NBA, has brought it to Asia, Europe and other places, which is of great significance. But there are still many countries in Europe that don't like basketball and think it's a women's sport, but they only like Jordan and Kobe. Schumacher is synonymous with F1. This sport is highly restrictive, so its audience is general. Everyone knows and understands Jackson, Jordan has basically heard of it, and Schumacher is only known to a certain group of people. It's reputation. Influence, Jackson's contribution to music and Jordan's contribution to basketball are difficult to say about Schumacher's contribution to F1. Different starting points have different results. I learned that some parts of Europe think the NBA is a women’s sport: I first learned about it when I read Nowitzki’s story. At that time, his father didn’t agree with him playing basketball and asked him to switch to tennis. He also said, “In Germany, basketball is "Women play it." Later I read an article analyzing the world market of basketball, saying that Europe does not recognize basketball, and basketball is not very popular in the European market. I’m not very clear on the specific reasons. I read some content on Hupu and posted it here:
1. Basketball is a black sport. The white world hates this kind of black-dominated sport. Tell the British. The same goes for American football
2. Free throws are often timed out and intense physical confrontations are prohibited, and the game is played indoors, not enough sunshine
3. The oldest basketball is still played in Commonwealth countries. No dribbling is allowed, no confrontation is allowed, the basket is just a basket without a backboard, and each player has a fixed area where they cannot run around. They called it net ball, and it was only played by women. It seems that in Europe, Spain is the only one that recognizes basketball more, and it is considered one of the top sports, compared to other places.
