The 36-year-old leads the way in jersey sales at the midway point of the 2024-25 season. Now in his 16th season, Curry is leading the league in free-throw accuracy (94.0%) while averaging 22.6 points and 6.3 assists.<\/p>\n<p>Second on the list is the all-time leader in career points, none other than <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/j\/jamesle01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LeBron James<\/a>. The 40-year-old remains remarkably productive in his 22nd season and seventh with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both Curry and James were named as Western Conference starters.<\/p>\n<h3>Young Stars Featured As Well<\/h3>\n<p>While the list has all-time greats (<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/duranke01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Durant<\/a> is also 13th), there are others that are striving to be seen in that light early on in their career. The recently-turned 21-year-old <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/w\/wembavi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victor Wembanyama<\/a> is fifth on the list. The San Antonio Spurs wunderkind is already the heavy favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year in just his second season. The 7-foot-3 center is averaging 24.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals, and a league-leading 4.0 blocks.<\/p>\n<p>A spot behind Wembanyama and sixth on the list is <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/e\/edwaran01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Edwards<\/a> of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The first overall pick in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2020\/12\/15\/2020-nba-draft-grades\/\" target=\"_self\">2020 NBA Draft<\/a>, Edwards is just 23 years old. He was the lead piece last season on a Minnesota team that reached the Western Conference Finals for just the second time in franchise history. This season, he is currently averaging 26.2 points and has a league-leading 184 made three-pointers.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the top-sellers list that is at the age of 25 or younger are <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/moranja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ja Morant<\/a> (seventh), <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/doncilu01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luka Doncic<\/a> (eighth), and <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/ballla01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LaMelo Ball<\/a> (12th).<\/p>\n<h3>Just One All-Star Starter Not Listed<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, the NBA named their 10 All-Star starters on Thursday. Nine of the 10 made the top-15 list of best-selling jerseys. The other All-Star starters not previously brought up who made the list are <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/tatumja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jayson Tatum<\/a> (third), <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/brunsja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jalen Brunson<\/a> (fourth), <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/antetgi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> (ninth), <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/j\/jokicni01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nikola Jokic<\/a> (10th), <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gilgesh01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> (11th), and <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mitchdo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donovan Mitchell<\/a> (15th).<\/p>\n<p>The only All-Star starter not seen on the list is <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/townska01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> of the Knicks. That is a bit surprising as he has rapidly become a fan-favorite in a huge market due to his play. Towns also was traded late into the offseason which may have affected his sales somewhat.<\/p>\n<p>The only player not already mentioned in this article who made the list is <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bookede01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Devin Booker<\/a> (14th).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, the NBA released their top-selling jerseys thus far on the 2024-25 season.
