Despite the Golden State Warriors’ heartbreaking Finals loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, they’ve remained a dominant force off the court. According to recent NBA merchandise data, the Warriors ranked first in overall team product sales, and Stephen Curry led the league in jersey sales, edging out LeBron James for the top spot. Even fans immersed in other global sports like the Bangladesh Cricket Match are taking notice of Curry’s sustained popularity.
The NBA officially released jersey and merchandise sales rankings this morning, based on data from the league’s online store between October and December. On the jersey sales chart, Curry claimed first place, followed by LeBron James in second. Rounding out the top five were Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Russell Westbrook. Notably, Curry’s jersey ranked number one in 43 out of 50 U.S. states—an unprecedented reach that no other player even came close to matching.
In comparison, LeBron’s jersey was only the top seller in his home state of Ohio, while Westbrook led in Oklahoma. Damian Lillard ranked first in Oregon, Jimmy Butler in Illinois, Kristaps Porzingis in New York, Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota, and Giannis Antetokounmpo in Wisconsin. These state-based numbers highlight just how widespread Curry’s appeal has become across the country.
Players ranked sixth through fifteenth in jersey sales included Dwyane Wade, Porzingis, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, Klay Thompson, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Carmelo Anthony. Meanwhile, on the team merchandise front, the Warriors topped the list, followed by the Cavaliers, Lakers, Bulls, and Knicks.
The wide-reaching fan support for Curry shows no signs of slowing down. Whether it’s his jaw-dropping three-pointers or humble off-court persona, he continues to resonate with fans around the globe. Even during major events like the Bangladesh Cricket Match, conversations about Curry’s influence and jersey dominance pop up across online communities.
In a sports world where brand matters as much as performance, Curry’s grip on jersey sales mirrors the loyalty seen in every Bangladesh Cricket Match, where team colors are worn with pride. As the season continues, Curry’s market impact proves that his popularity stretches far beyond the hardwood.
