Beijing time on February 18, 2022, the well-known American sports equipment reporter Nick DePaula today posted the ranking of jersey sales in the United States so far this season, in this list, James can be said to be everywhere, looking at all of them are James's name, and in addition to James, Jordan and Yao Ming are also among them!
In this list, James can reach the top in 30 states, basically in all directions of the southeast, south, and northwest. In addition to James, Jordan topped the list in 3 states, ranking second. In addition to these two best players of all time, Kobe Bryant and Carter both reached the top in both states, tied for third place! Bryant topped in North Dakota and Alaska, and Carter in Maine and West Virginia!
And the most surprising thing is that Yao Ming's jersey has also reached the top of a state, that is, Montana! Nash topped in Arizona; Tatum topped in Massachusetts; Lillard topped in Oregon; Steve Smith topped in Idaho; Mitchell reached the summit in Utah; Jokic climbed in Colorado; Pippen climbed in Arkansas; Mike Bibby topped in Alabama; Astertokounmpo in Wisconsin; Grant Hill topped in Michigan, Aaron Iverson in Pennsylvania; and Trey Young topped in Georgia!
It can be said that it is completely unsurprising that James and Jordan are in the top two, and it is surprising that retired players such as Yao Ming, Nash, Hill and Bibby can get the first place in a state jersey sales, which is indeed somewhat incredible! In particular, Yao Ming, who has been retired for many years, can rank first in Montana, which is indeed a surprise!
