LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers continue to dominate the NBA's merchandise sales.
The league announced last week James had the best-selling jersey on NBAStore.com through the first half of the 2020-21 season, while the Lakers claimed the top spot in team merchandise sales.
James and the Lakers also topped the league in jersey and merchandise sales during the bubble portion of the 2019-20 season and became the best-selling NBA champions in Fanatics history last year.
The Brooklyn Nets finished in the No. 2 spot in merchandise sales - the franchise's highest ranking ever - and had three players make the top 10 in jersey sales.
