According to the NBA’s official data, Curry sold more jerseys than any other player in the NBA for the second consecutive season in 2015-16, mirroring his back-to-back MVP awards.

The surprising addition to the list is popular Knicks rookie big man Kristaps Porzingis who jumped all the way to 4th on the list.
It’s no surprise to see Kobe jump back up to no. 2 on the list as many nostalgic fans probably bought a Kobe jersey to celebrate his final season.
Thunder stars Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant rounded out the top six.
Here is a cool image from ESPN Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell showing how Curry sold more jerseys than any other NBA player in every state except Cleveland (LeBron) and Oklahoma City (Westbrook and Durant).
This is just another way in which Chef Curry is sauteing the competition.
