Stephen Curry's jersey is the most sold this season
Stephen Curry keeps wearing his ‘most influential player’ crown in his 16th year in the league. The greatest shooter of all time is still the fan-favorite in the NBA. Just a day after getting announced as the All-Star starter for the West team, Curry has again shown his popularity. Keeping the All-Star votes aside, fans are also spending their money on Curry. The Warriors guard is at the top of most sold jerseys this season.
The NBA released the list of top-selling jerseys from the first half of the season based on the NBAStore.com sales. Warriors’ Stephen Curry sat at the top of the list with LeBron James at the second. The achievement by Curry is truly remarkable considering this is the third straight season the ‘Chef’ has sold the most jerseys.
The Warriors saw a downfall after their 2022 championship but it seems that it has not affected Curry’s popularity. With the league’s leading scorer being second, the reigning champion Jayson Tatum is third on the list. Though most names are regulars on the list, Anthony Edwards, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Donovan Mitchell are first-timers in the top 15.

Considering Curry is in his late thirties, the star is way beyond his prime. Witnessing Curry in the 2010s, his current season seems ordinary. The star is averaging one of the lowest scores of his career with 22.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.3 assists. Keeping the stats of the season in mind, fans were amazed by Curry’s influence on the jersey sale.

Along with Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant are still the faces of the league as the trio is in the starting lineup for the 2025 All-Star game. However, this time would be special for Curry, as the 36-year-old will be the host. This year’s event will be played out at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Given that last year Curry won the 3-point Challenge, his performance at home will be highly anticipated.
