Fans came out in droves to support the Lakers and LeBron James when one of the NBA’s premier franchises teamed with one of the league’s all-time greats.
James’ jersey was the most popular in the NBA this season, based on NBAStore.com sales since the beginning for the regular season.
The first-year Laker was followed on that list by Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo. Boston’s Kyrie Irving and Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid rounded out the top five.
Meanwhile, the Lakers global fanbase pushed them to the No. 1 spot when it came to team merchandise sold, ahead of the two-time defending-champion Golden State Warriors.
