As Boardroom showed, the top-selling basketball jerseys since 2024 put Stephen Curry first, Caitlin Clark second, LeBron James third, Luka Doncic fourth, and Victor Wembanyama fifth.
That order says plenty. Curry remains the only name above Clark, while she ranks ahead of LeBron, Doncic, and Wembanyama.
For Clark, that is a major commercial statement. LeBron has spent more than two decades as one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, Doncic carries a massive international following, and Wembanyama entered the NBA as a generational prospect.
Clark ranking above all three shows that her appeal is not limited to WNBA fans or Indiana Fever supporters.

Her No. 22 jersey has become a broader basketball item, powered by her college following, rookie-year attention, and the massive shift in visibility around the Fever.
The deeper context is that Clark’s rise has changed how women’s basketball merchandise is measured. Her Indiana Fever draft jersey sold out in less than an hour and became one of Fanatics’ fastest-selling draft jerseys.
That demand carried into her first WNBA season. Fever games became national events, road arenas filled with Clark jerseys, and player-specific WNBA merchandise saw a major spike.
The ranking also shows how different Clark’s climb has been from the NBA stars around her. Curry, LeBron, Doncic, and Wembanyama all benefit from the NBA’s larger global machine.
Clark has reached their sales tier while playing in a league with a smaller commercial platform. That makes her No. 2 ranking even more meaningful.
It also explains why her impact is often discussed beyond points and assists. Clark has become a ticket mover, a television draw, and a merchandise force.
