    You will be surprised a lot of black people in Houston don't know or barely know who James Harden is.

    That's because jersey sales are taken from only the online store and manhattan store

    Are you talking about just in Houston? If yes, I would go with Dwight or JJ. But if you're talking about international or even national it's gotta be neck and neck between Dwight and Lin.

    The Texans lead Houston in bandwagon fans so it's gotta be Watt. (P.S. I'm a diehard Houston fan)

    No doubt is Lin.

    You can even ask someone from all ages who don't follow basketball or sports at all and they will know his name.

    (Worldwide...) whoever voted Lin is still stuck in 2012. And if you are, you should find a crazy white haired guy named "Doc" he was working on a flux cap, and may be able to help you return! :p
    In the present... Google shows Dwight mentioned more than all of these guys combined

    [millions]

    Foster 3.6
    Harden 16.2
    JJ Watt 22.5
    Lin 27
    Andre Johnson 39.6
    Dwight 113

    ^This seems just about right for Houston popularity if you move Brown to 10th and Schaub above Parsons.

    I know this is a basketball based forum, but football runs this town and state.

    get with it Rox fans.

    JJ Watt by a landslide with the force of a thousand landslides. No contest. Like asking if Abraham Lincoln was a more popular president than Chester Allen Arthur.

    Yeah, I sarcastically answered Lin too.

    J.J. really is a once in a generation player, even more......If he keeps up this torrid pace/dominant play/stays healthy he very well could end up as the greatest defensive lineman of all time.
