KD's got a decade+ of fame on those guys.

Yes, LeBron and Curry and Luka and Anthony Edwards in terms of currently famous... who's in the headlines, on TV, on the web. That is largely decided on Espn and X, etc... that's who kids and casual sports fans and general people will know of. KD's barely covered anymore.
I think KD's ship has definitely sailed. All-time great type player and career, but he won't even be in playoffs this year, swept out last year. He played Olympics last year... but pretty sharp drop in production there also. The fans, casual and serious, have moved on to newer and shinier things.
Heck, I'd say Jimmy Butler's more in the headlines than KD, and that's sad but true.
(basically the same reason Travis Kelce is much more famous and known than Tony G or Drew Brees or Matt Ryan... it's all about eyeballs)
