Curry's jersey sold more than any other player's during the 2015-16 regular season, according to sales on the NBA's official online website.

Curry's was also the best-selling jersey in every U.S. state except Ohio and Oklahoma, according to Fanatics, the largest licensed sports retailer in the country.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, in his final season, finished second in jersey sales, followed by Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James.

Two players on the list jumped to career highs:Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was sixth, one spot behind teammate Kevin Durant,and Warriors forward Draymond Greenfinished 13th.

The Warriors finished first among team merchandising for the second straight year. The Chicago Bulls, Lakers, Cavaliers and Knicks rounded out the top five.
