Soccer in the US is generally a sport full of rich kids traveling around the country to play each other's club team. The rest of the world it is the opposite - the poorest. They have grinders playing and we don't. I don't consider myself a soccer fan at all but you can see this dynamic from miles away.

ESPN can cram soccer highlights down our throat every day, but it isn't convincing a young Kobe Bryant to become a soccer player.

Agreed. However, Kobe isn't the best example. he was a rich kid who could have actually been part of the pay to play system

He's also 6'7". See a lot of really tall soccer players in the pros?

He could’ve been a Mandingo zlatan ibrahimovic - zlatan is 6’5
