MANILA – The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced that LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers secured the top spots on the NBA’s Most Popular Jersey and Team Merchandise lists in the Philippines, respectively, for the first time in tandem since the 2020-21 season.
Results are based on sales from the NBA Stores in SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia and NBAStore.com.ph, the official online NBA Store in the Philippines, which are collectively operated by TITAN, for the first half of the 2024-25 regular season.
Going for second in the team merchandise list are items from the Chicago Bulls, followed by the Golden State Warriors, the Phoenix Suns, and the Dallas Mavericks.
