Ben Simmons rises in 2018/19 most popular NBA jersey rankings
The National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) today announced the most popular NBA jersey list, and Australian All-Star Ben Simmons cracks the top 10 once more.
The list results are based on NBAStore.com sales since the beginning of the 2018/19 regular season. Simmons, who made it into the 10th spot last season, rose to 9th this season.
The 2018/19 season has been a great one for Simmons. The Australian guard made his first All-Star appearance this year, was featured in the Australia/New Zealand edition of NBA 2K, and is currently leading a Philadelphia 76ers squad alongside Joel Embiid, that will make a strong push for championship contention.
