With the kind of run Steph Curry has been on, it’s not surprising that he has the NBA’s top selling jersey. He’s young and trendy among kids. LeBron James is now the old man that everyone’s used to, so it makes sense that he trails Curry in jersey sales.
And Kobe? Well, he’s the ageless wonder, whose jersey sales probably went through the roof after he announced this was his victory lap.
But explain Kristaps Porzingis. The Knicks rookie sensation is fourth in jersey sales this year. Seriously.
NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry and defending NBA ChampionGolden State Warriors retained top honors on the NBA’s Most Popular Jersey and Team Merchandise lists. Results are based on NBAStore.com sales from October 2015 through December 2015 and reflect a record-breaking holiday shopping season. NBAStore.com had its largest Black Friday (Nov. 27) and Cyber Monday (Nov. 30) in history, with combined sales up 20 percent from the previous year.
Rounding out the top five players are the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James (No. 2), the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (No. 3), the New York Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis (No. 4), who earned a spot on the list for the first time after a sensational start to his rookie year, and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant (No. 5).
