Look at Joe Namath in football. Pete Maravich in basketball. Popularity can be fueled by intangibles.
Conversely there are lots of players who just don't generate as much excitement as their numbers would suggest. But don't fall into the "underrated" trap -- it's not like after decades, that's going to suddenly change.
