NBA: no Quebecers among the most popular in Canada

Three members of the Toronto Raptors have sold the most NBA jerseys in Canada during the first half of the 2022-2023 season, but no Quebec player is in the top 10.

Neither the strong Luguentz Dort (Oklahoma City Thunder) nor the promising Bennedict Mathurin (Indiana Pacers) are in the top 10 sales this season, despite excellent performances.

Rather, it’s the Raptors who unsurprisingly dominate the hearts of Canadians. Scottie Barnes’ starting number 4 is the one fans have been fighting for the most in 2022-2023, closely followed by Pascal Siakam’s 43. Fred VanVleet is in fifth place.

The stars of the American NBA teams are also selling north of the border. Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) and Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies) complete the list.

Internationally, the majority of kit sales were carried by Curry, James and Antetokounmpo.
