Based off official NBAStore.com sales, topping the list again was LeBron James who has had the most-popular jersey the last two seasons. In second was Luka Doncic followed by Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and rounding out the top five was Giannis Antetokounmpo. Here’s the full list.
Rank | Player | Team |
---|---|---|
1 | LeBron James | Los Angeles Lakers |
2 | Luka Dončić | Dallas Mavericks |
3 | Kevin Durant | Brooklyn Nets |
4 | Stephen Curry | Golden State Warriors |
5 | Giannis Antetokounmpo | Milwaukee Bucks |
6 | Kyrie Irving | Brooklyn Nets |
7 | Anthony Davis | Los Angeles Lakers |
8 | Jayson Tatum | Boston Celtics |
9 | James Harden | Brooklyn Nets |
10 | Zion Williamson | New Orleans Pelicans |
11 | Jimmy Butler | Miami Heat |
12 | Damian Lillard | Portland Trail Blazers |
13 | Kawhi Leonard | LA Clippers |
14 | Trae Young | Atlanta Hawks |
15 | Russell Westbrook | Washington Wizards |
Trae Young and Zion Williamson make their first appearance on the list after not making the list last season. Zion Williamson leapt into the top 10 at #10, Young at #14.
The Brooklyn Nets’ had three players in the top ten with Durant (#3), Kyrie Irving at #6 and James Harden coming right before Williamson at #9, but even with three of the most-popular player jerseys, the Brooklyn Nets weren’t able to overcome LeBron’s (and Anthony Davis jersey at #7) popularity as the Nets still came in second in terms of most-popular team merchandize (for the first half of the 2020-21 season).
The Most Popular Team by Merchandise Sales
- LA Lakers
- Brooklyn Nets
- Golden State Warriors
- Boston Celtics
- Philadelphia 76ers
- Miami Heat
- Chicago Bulls
- Dallas Mavericks
- Toronto Raptors
- Milwaukee Bucks
Still the #2 ranking was the franchise’s highest position ever on the list.
If LeBron was to remain on the top at the end of the season, he would have three consecutive years of having the most popular jersey. Not only that, but the 36-year old superstar would have a record setting seven seasons with the top selling jersey (2004, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2019, 2020) breaking a tie he held with the late Kobe Bryant‘s record of six seasons.
