The Los Angeles Lakers might be a dumpster fire right now, but that hasn’t stopped fans from buying up all their gear … with the Purple & Gold leading the NBA in merchandise sales this season.
The league just released its list of most popular fan purchases through the 2021-22 season so far … and LeBron James sits at the top of the throne for player jersey sales, with the Lakers coming in at #1 for overall team merch sold on the NBA Store website.
It’s pretty interesting, considering the Lake Show has stunk up the place this season — they’re 22-23 and head coach Frank Vogel is on the verge of losing his job.
But, it’s clear fans aren’t going anywhere … stocking up on their swag as the team falls apart.
Stephen Curry comes in at #2 in jersey sales, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic rounding out the top 5.
Russell Westbrook — who’s had a pretty tough year — didn’t make the list … but Anthony Davis was able to come in at #7.
The Dubs, Bucks, Nets and Celtics follow the Lakers in team sales.
At least the Lakers are first in something, right??
