Steph Curry is having a great week. Not only was he named the league's first-ever unanimous MVP, but he also had the NBA's best-selling jersey for the second season in a row, according to ESPN. The two-time MVP sold more jerseys than any other player during the 2015-16 regular season.
Curry's jersey was the best-selling across the U.S., with the exception of Ohio and Oklahoma, according to data provided to ESPN by retailer Fanatics.
The Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant had the second highest jersey sales—not surprising considering it was his final season. During his last game alone, Bryant sold over $1 million in merch, setting a worldwide record.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James rounded out the top three and was followed by New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis, who also had an impressive amount of jersey sales. Coming in at fourth, the Knicks' forward earned the highest season-ending spot for a rookie since James and Carmelo Anthony topped the jersey rankings in the 2003-04 season.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook also had an influx of sales this season, which landed him as the sixth highest-seller. That's a career high for Westbrook, but he is still one spot behind his Thunder teammate, Kevin Durant.
Overall, Golden State was the most popular team merchandise for the second year in a row. The top five was filled out by the Chicago Bulls, Lakers, Cavaliers, and Knicks.
After last year's NBA Finals, Curry came out with best-selling jersey during the NBA playoffs, beating LeBron James who came in second. Now, with the Finals quickly approaching, and Curry and James still in play, it looks like he might top the list again.
