MANILA, Philippines—For the past several years, Steph Curry has been one of the most popular athletes in the world.
That’s why it’s no surprise that Curry is also number one among Filipino basketball fans based on jersey sales from NBA Store Philippines’ official online store through the first half of the 2022-23 regular season.
And thanks to Curry’s ever-growing popularity, reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors have also topped all teams in the merchandise ranking list for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, who just broke the NBA’s all-time scoring record, is second in jersey sales while Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks places third.
