McDavid is Charles Barkley compared to Sidney Crosby but Crosby became a household name because he played in Pittsburgh, and the Penguins became a powerhouse pretty quickly. Took the Oilers almost a decade to make the finals for the first time with him. Being stuck in Edmonton is why nobody outside of hockey fans cares or knows about him, no matter how good he is.McDavid doesn't have much of a personality really.
Also, as mentioned before, Gretzky didn't become a big US celebrity until he was traded to L.A.
If he was in Chicago, Boston, NY, Philly, or Pittsburgh he’d be more well known.
