LeBron Tops Fifth Straight NBA Jersey Sales Rankings, With Stephen Curry Second

Cavaliers F LeBron James secured the top spot as the NBA's most popular jersey based on overall sales from adidas and NBAStore.com from October through December '14. Warriors G Stephen Curry ranked second. Meanwhile, Trail Blazers G Damian Lillard (No. 11) and Pelicans C Anthony Davis (No. 15) debuted on the top-15 list (NBA). The AP noted James tops the list "for the fifth straight" quarterly release, but the previous four were with his No. 6 Heat jersey. This marks the first time James' Cavaliers jersey has "topped the list" since his rookie season in '04, and the first time the Cavaliers "have been No. 1 on the team merchandise list." Meanwhile, Curry "jumped five spots" from last year (AP, 1/12).
