LeBron James Jersey Sets Fanatics Sales Record After Joining Sixers

LeBron James' No. 23 Philadelphia 76ers jersey became the top‑selling jersey in the first 48 hours after a player joins a new team in Fanatics history, overtaking the previous record held by baseball star Shohei Ohtani. Fanatics did not disclose the exact sales figures, but confirmed the new benchmark.

The surge follows James' signing of a two‑year contract with the Sixers at age 41, highlighting the excitement around his move. The NBA veteran, a four‑time champion, is expected to anchor a roster that includes All‑Stars Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown, and aims to bring a championship to Philadelphia.
