Not only is LeBron James the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, he leads the NBA in most jersey sales.
NBAstore.com shared a tweet about NBA’s top-jersey sellers. Following ‘Bron, Golden State Warriors piercing shooter, Steph Curry sits at No. 2. and the ever-evolving and MVP-caliber Jayson Tatum holds down the No. 3 spot.
Absent from the list is the number of jerseys sold, but with spring here, and summer approaching, it’s more than likely the jerseys of ‘Bron, Curry, and Tatum will garner more sales.
Curry’s teammate Jordan Poole appeared on the list at No.15. During the first half of the season, Jaylen Brown made his way into the top 15, sitting at No.14. Trae Young, who has been surrounded with talk of a trade after the Atlanta Hawks were given the thumbs up to trade Young, fell out of the top 15. Also out of the top 15 is injury-plagued Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Earlier this season, James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. Obviously, with “King James” breaking Jabbar’s 39-year record, his jersey sales went up. Not that James needed help selling his brand, but becoming the league’s all-time walking bucket didn’t hurt.
