"The Greek Freak" continues to be one of the most popular players in the entire NBA, proof of which is his standing on the list of most popular jerseys. Despite the Milwaukee Bucks being in a small market compared to that of megacities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, Giannis is at no. 5 on the list, behind only Stephen Curry, Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, and rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.

Household name

Giannis Antetokounmpo has become a household name in the NBA since joining the league in 2013 as the 15th overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks. His unique blend of size, athleticism, and skill have made him one of the most exciting players to watch on any night.

But it's not just his play that has earned him such a lofty ranking in jersey sales. Giannis also represents something more than basketball; he symbolizes hope and hard work, as he was born in Greece to Nigerian parents and faced many challenges growing up before setting foot in the big leagues.

Powerhouse team

Giannis was not the only Buck to make the prestigious list, as his teammate and fellow All-Star Damian Lillard landed in no. 10. After spending his entire career playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, Lillard was traded to the Bucks in the offseason and has since partnered with Antetokounmpo to form one of the most formidable duos in the league.

The popularity of the two players is a substantial reason why the Bucks rank fourth on the list of most merchandise sales.
