Cavaliers’ LeBron James reigns as king of NBA’s most popular jerseys list

NEW YORK – The Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James once again leads the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) list of most popular jerseys. This marks the sixth consecutive time James has claimed the No. 1 position on the list and his third such honor as a member of the Cavaliers. The rankings are based on overall retail sales on NBAStore.com since the beginning of the 2014-15 season.

Rounding out the top five is the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry (No. 2), the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (No. 3), the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant (No. 4) and the Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose (No. 5).

The Bulls reclaim the top spot for best-selling team merchandise for the first time since the end of the 2011-2012 season.  Chicago is followed by the Cavaliers at No. 2, the Warriors at No. 3, the Lakers at No. 4 and the Thunder at No. 5.

Additional highlights:

  • Curry retains his position at No. 2 on the most popular jerseys list.
  • Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (No. 13) cracks the rankings for the first time since his rookie season (2010-11).
  • Bryant (No. 3) and the San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan (No. 7) both jump one spot from the latest list (January 2015).
