Theoretically speaking, no quality NBA player should ever go without a considerable modicum of appreciation in today's hyper-connected world. There are too many 24-hour sports networks, too many dedicated websites (like, say, Bleacher Report), too many folks plugged into League Pass and too many more flittering and Twittering away on social media for any standout performance to go unnoticed.
In practice, though, things don't always work out that way. There are still only so many time slots for nationally televised games on TNT and ESPN, only so many postseason honors to be doled out and only so many playoff berths to be filled.
Even then, snagging such prime placement is no guarantee that the player in question is going to see his profile explode beyond the bounds of his home fanbase.
So while the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry and James Harden are all but guaranteed to get some serious publicity just for setting foot on the hardwood, these next six studs—one for each of the five positions, plus a superb bench performer—could all use a little more love at the start of the new year, because either they're overshadowed on their own squads or the teams they play for don't get much shine to begin with.
