The players at the top of the list are a healthy mix of current superstars, respected veterans and ascendant members of the next generation. The list is also loaded with MVP finalists and members of the Cleveland Cavaliers or Golden State Warriors as nine of the top 11 come from one of those groups. Here is a look at the top 15 most popular jerseys in the NBA.   15. Dwyane Wade No. 3, Chicago Bulls This 12-time All-Star may have lost a few fans when he left the Miami Heat last summer, but a return to his native Windy City made up for that in spades. Wade had a strong first season with the Bulls, averaging 18.3 points and 4.5 assists per game in the most limited action of his career. Even with a new team and a new role, he remains one of the most revered players in the NBA. 14. Damian Lillard No. 0, Portland Trail Blazers A member of the Portland Trail Blazers for his entire career, Lillard hasn't gotten much of a chance to shine on the postseason stage. He's still managed to gather one of the largest followings in the league, and his popularity has risen steadily since being drafted with the sixth overall pick five years ago. He averaged a career-high 27.0 points per game last season, as well as 4.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists. 13. Jimmy Butler No. 21, Chicago Bulls Don't get down on yourself if you bought a Butler jersey in the last two months -- think of it as a collector's item. The All-Star wing is on the move after being traded to the Minnesota, but he still had a strong final season in Chicago, averaging 23.9 points and 6.2 assists per game. Butler's Timberwolves jersey should also be a top seller once it becomes available.
