On Tuesday, the NBA released its annual ranking of the best-selling jerseys in the NBA from the league’s website. Not surprisingly, LeBron James secured the top spot.
After all, there had to be plenty of Cavs fans who had to buy a new LeBron jersey after burning their old one.
The King also had the top-selling jersey during the 2013-14 season as a member of the Miami Heat.
As for the rest of the top-five selling jerseys, the players stayed consistent, even as their positions moved around slightly. Kevin Durant went from the second-best selling jersey last year to fourth this year. Stephen Curry jumped from fifth to second. Derrick Rose went from fourth to fifth and Kobe Bryant kept his place at third.
Surprisingly, James Harden is not among the top-15 selling jerseys of the 2014-15 season despite the fact that he placed 10th in jersey sales last year. I’m betting he led the league in beard envy though.
Here’s this year’s top 15 selling jerseys:
1. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
2. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
3. Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
4. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder
5. Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls
6. Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers
7. Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
8. Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks
9. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat
10. Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers
11. Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
12. Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder
13. John Wall, Washington Wizards
14. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
15. Chris Paul, Los Angeles Clippers
