FREAK THE MIGHTY: Antetokounmpo's 4th place finish is the highest by a Bucks player to finish a season, and is four spots higher than his 8th place finish in '16-17. That marked the first time a Bucks player was in the Top 15 of jersey sales since Basketball HOFer Gary Payton ranked 15th in '03 (Bucks).

TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS: In Indianapolis, David Woods writes another player whose jersey is selling well is Pacers G Victor Oladipo, who is "checking in at No. 7" on Dick's Sporting Goods list of jersey sales. Heading into the All-Star Game, Oladipo jersey sales "ranked 18th." For the longest time, "consumers could not get their hands on Oladipo's No.4." One Indianapolis retailer said, "Christmastime, you could not even get a Victor Oladipo jersey. You might be able to find a few, but Nike could not keep up with the high demand." Another local retailer said that Oladipo's jersey sales had "'gone up slightly' since the playoffs began." XL and XXL were "the only sizes he had left in stock" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 4/18).
