Fan apparel company Lids released its top jerseys sales so far during the 2021–22 NBA season based on each state, and the map was heavily purple and gold for the Lakers and LeBron James.
Los Angeles led in jersey sales in 30 states. The Bulls led in the second-most states with eight.
There were only seven current NBA players who led jersey sales in a state: James, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Trae Young and Jayson Tatum.
But some of states that don‘t house a pro basketball franchise purchased some very random jerseys this season.
