Will Lillard see an increase in jersey sales next year?

[PDXFonz]

I think with what he did in the playoffs, especially the huge shot in game 6, and his becoming the poster child for Adiddas NBA line,nth at Lillard will soar up in jersey sales.

Here is last years jersey sales: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...a-jersey-sales-list-for-sixth-time-durant-2nd

An interesting Oregonian article on statistics from jersey sales on fanatics.com on top selling jerseys during the 2014 playoffs. http://www.oregonlive.com/playbooks-profits/index.ssf/2014/05/trail_blazers_merchandise_sell.html

My prediction is that he makes the top 10. I don't think he's top 5 yet, but I'm sure he will be there eventually. I would also expect Anthony Davis to rise up, probably not to top 15 yet, but will get close. Who ever goes #1in the draft will probably be in the top 20 of jersey sales. I think Kobe is at the point in his career where his jersey sales will start slipping.

How do you guys see Lillards jersey sales going next year?

I said top 10.

James
Durant
Kobe
Melo
Curry

Those are the top 5, probably. After that, it could really be anyone.

I think he barely makes the top 15.

LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Kevin Durant
Derrick Rose
Blake Griffin
Carmelo Anthony
Stephen Curry
Chris Paul
Paul George
Dwyane Wade
James Harden
Russell Westbrook
Dwight Howard
Jason Collins
Damian Lillard

^That's not in order btw

I thought about Collins too, and I think his jersey sales take a big dip. It was beautiful to see the reaction, but like most things, once it becomes yesterdays news it starts to decline.

Forgot about Griffin and Paul. I don't know about Westbrook... I think Durant would get all the sales.

I still think top 10. Is Rose really still a top seller?

Collins is an interesting take, but it don't think he will sell that many jerseys. Michael Sam might though. I wouldn't be surprised if james harden was bumped out of the top 15. And I don't think rose or Collins makes it but I agree with the rest of what you said.

I hate seeing people have the same jerseys as I do.

Because it tells you that no matter how hard you think otherwise, you're a trendy sporty hipster?

Love that Dame is ahead of hyped players like Harden and Anthony Davis.

Could Curry keep this up or is this just temporary?

Like Casey said on twitter, the NBA only counts jerseys sold on NBA.com.

Does not include arena or other stores sales.
