Milwaukee Bucks

The popularity of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo's jersey continues to soar, as he landed at number four on the list of most-sold jerseys in the NBA in the second half of the season. Giannis has become one of the league's biggest stars over the last few seasons and has seen his popularity grow immensely throughout the years, especially after he led the Bucks to the top of the NBA in 2021.

LeBron, Steph tops list

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James tops this list, and it’s no surprise why. Now playing in his 20th season in the NBA, King James continues to defy Father Time and is having another incredible season, highlighted, of course, by the all-time scoring record that he achieved earlier this season when he broke the mark set by fellow Lakers legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Second on the list is the Golden State Warriors' ace sharpshooter, Stephen Curry. One of the most popular players of all time, the Chef has been a fan-favorite for quite some time now and has seen his popularity and legacy grow even more, especially after he helped lead the Warriors to their fourth title last season.

Eastern Conference rivals

Placing third on the list is one of Giannis’ main rivals in the Eastern Conference, Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics. Just in his sixth year in the league, the former Duke Blue Devil has seen his game rise, bringing the Celtics along with him. This season, he’s averaging over 30 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists to help the Celtics emerge as the second seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
