Luka Doncic jersey reaches No. 2 in NBA restart jersey sales

James, unsurprisingly, leads the jersey sales. At 35, the four-time NBA MVP is probably the most popular player in the league and even gained the maximum number of votes for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, which happened in February. At the bubble, James is playing his 10th NBA final, determined to win the Lakers their 17th NBA title. 

Luka Doncic follows James, earning his highest jersey sales ranking this time around. Doncic, averaging 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per games, broke multiple records during the 2019-20 season. According to the NBA, Butler has returned to his highest sale ranking since the 2018-19 season. The Heat, who will be facing the Lakers in the NBA Finals, make the top five in jersey sales for the first time since the James-led Heat in 2014. 

The Bulls and Raptors are the only two teams on the merchandise list despite not having a player in the top ten jersey sale list. The Warriors and their star Steph Curry occupy the No.5 and No.6 spots respectively, despite a poor regular-season performance. While the Warriors finished at the bottom of the table, Curry also missed most of the season after his injury in October. Kevin Durant, who was sidelined for the entire season, comes in at seventh.
