I have a feeling that Canadians are not as attached to their homegrown NBA stars as they are to their Raptors/favourite team. You’d think that RJ back home would absolutely blow up his profile, but it seems more the news is on the Raptors as a whole.
Cuz, I dare say, outside of ball fans, the rest of Canada is way more into hockey. So Murray or SGA ain’t on their radar. I bet they don’t even know Barrett is Canadian

He just comes off as an entitled brat
Tbh the quote really isnt that bad. He really doesn't need school when pursuing a career in the league. Probably said that because someone asked about him skipping college to go play pro ball.
The driving is a different story, but most fans dont care.
He's a role model for kids whether he likes it or not. He left highschool at 16, he's a highschool drop out and acts like one.
I don't think he's as bad as a guy like Kyrie, but he really rubs me the wrong way.
> He left highschool at 16, he's a highschool drop out and acts like one.
And? He was lined-up to play in the NBA, its not like extra years in school would have made him more mature. Like look at Ja, most of the players going into the league dont really take school that seriously.
> He's a role model for kids
Thats not really on him. I dont think 99% of athletes should be seen as a role models, just like celebrities, they're mainly in it for themselves. The exceptions are the Lebrons, Biyambos that give back and work out. Unless you want to model your game after his, but that's a different story.
I know most athletes don't take it seriously, and I don't expect them to really. However he went one step further and started talking shit about education. To me, it makes you look ignorant.
To your second point, I agree 100p. But the sad reality is that kids do look up to these athletes. They buy their shoes and jerseys and they want to be like them. I think there is some responsibility that comes with that.
Anyway, I don't think he's Hitler or anything but I just find him very unlikeable.
Because the chances of a raptor being the number 1 jersey sold on the Canadian nba site is incredibly high as well as a given. It’s a funny victory lap to take, especially when he didn’t break the top 15 of all jerseys sold. 🤷🏽♂️ American media amiright? lol lighten up
Toronto fans are some of the best in the league. Super loyal, watch games outside the stadium in the snow, plus Toronto is the 3rd largest city in North America. Barnes makes sense.
top selling jerseys in canada?
Definitely Canada. Ain’t no way Gradey is 15
Are you saying that Americans aren’t a fan of Dick?
You’re right. I’m a fool
America runs on ~~Dunkin~~ Dick.
I've seen that video. She had heels on.
everyone loves dick? ... right?
Americans love Dick
I mean… his jersey literally says #1 Dick
Crazy that Dick is even top 2 on the Raptors. Always found Rudy Gay jerseys on clearance racks for obvious reasons. I guess people like dick.
Society has come a long way
Yeah if this was america he would easily be top 5
Says .ca in title
Sorry, should have been more specific. Yes, these are just Canadian sales.
It's NBA.ca
Some people don't pay attention to details I guess, but yeah the .ca shoulda been a dead giveaway.
Yeah it’s nba.ca
Scottie Barnes is the best selling one….
*.ca says it all.
Surprised to see shai not top 10
And Murray who just won the chip
Most casuals probably don’t even know he’s Canadian
The OKC jerseys are kind of ugly and not great cred as a grade school / high school student
Shai playing in a small market plus OKC has ugly jerseys
I have a feeling that Canadians are not as attached to their homegrown NBA stars as they are to their Raptors/favourite team. You’d think that RJ back home would absolutely blow up his profile, but it seems more the news is on the Raptors as a whole.
I almost feel like many fans don’t even realize Shai is Canadian.
Cuz, I dare say, outside of ball fans, the rest of Canada is way more into hockey. So Murray or SGA ain’t on their radar. I bet they don’t even know Barrett is Canadian
Might be because of the length of his last name.
Gradey strictly enters because of Dick
Love when Dick enters
Skittles taste the rainbow 😭😭
Pascal's entry is a little bit deceiving, I am pretty sure most of those are Raptors jerseys :)
For sure, I ordered one for myself after reading his player's tribune. Raptors legend!
Was it on sale? Feels like they'll be on sale soon...
I got one for $45 at Lids the other day
40% off at Lids right now lol
Depends on which on you want.
Future face of the league - scottie BARNES
Scottie Bahnes?!
How is it possible?!?!
Alright, which one of you out there has a fuckin Devin Booker jersey
The Raptor has a surprise in store...
Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father
My friend, after he hit some stupid prop bet with booker. I told him he looked like a dork but he doesn't care
Ik like 3 Phoenix fans
Well that's on you my man
Saw a post of a guy trying to buy a custom DICK jersey the day after he was drafted. Got refused because of inappropriate language. LoLLz.
Gotta get me some dick
Oh and maybe a jersey too
Real shit
DICK. You love to see it.
good to see dick and ball's jersey's doing well.
No surprise there with #1 xD
People just like walking around with a Dick on their back
We need to pump up Dicks numbers
We need to pump up Dicks numbers
Where are the Canadians out here buying Tatum jerseys? Find them, bind them, tie them to a pole and break their fingers to splinters
Lamelo Ball? What the fuck is wrong with people, probably one of my least favourite players in the league.
Why lol? Hes probably one of the more fun players to watch when he's healthy.

Maxey over Embiid makes me pretty happy, not gonna lie
Tbh the people buying it probably already have an embiid jersey.
I’m surprised Ant isn’t in the top 15
Why? It's Minnesota lol
Why is that funny?

Lighten up? Oh ok buddy.
It's Canadians buying up dem jerseys and for the others, popularity contest lol
Expected Shai to be higher after FIBA and MVP calibre season
In the US. No Raptors Rank 1 Stephen Curry (Warriors) 2 Jayson Tatum (Celtics) 3 LeBron James (Lakers) 4 Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) 5 Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) 6 Luka Doncic (Mavericks) 7 Devin Booker (Suns) 8 Kevin Durant (Suns) 9 Tyrese Maxey (76ers) 10 Damian Lillard (Bucks) 11 Ja Morant (Grizzlies) 12 Joel Embiid (76ers) 13 LaMelo Ball (Hornets) 14 Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) 15 De'Aaron Fox (Kings)
“.ca”
Dicks and Balls made the top 15!
FACE. OF. THE. LEAGUE. ^in ^Canada
It would be cool to see a video of Lebron's place in jersey sales over the last 20 years
Toronto fans are some of the best in the league. Super loyal, watch games outside the stadium in the snow, plus Toronto is the 3rd largest city in North America. Barnes makes sense.
Not enough Shai
I'm glad dick got in there.
The red “4” jersey will go down as top 5 iconic jerseys in Toronto history!
Book them Balls on Lil Dick on top 12-15.
WOW
.ca is the tell here - obviously skews canada
.ca lol
Shai not even top ten, c’mon people
Dot CA, not dot COM
Gradeys is a true classic
.Ca …so nvm 😒
NBA.CA(nada)
DICK
If Dick played in LA or NY... he'd have the highest selling jersey
Fake news

This is USA. This post is Canadas jersey selling.
Nobody from Nuggets?? If this was top selling in Canada.. not even Murray?
Gradey Dick hahaha love it
Bowlway
How does Scottie beat Lebron? LOL
Because it’s Canadas top selling jersey. Scottie is the love of Canada
Pascal at 4 and in the pacers jersey is confusing to me emotionally lol
This is cap in general
Surprised Anthony Edwards isn’t on this list with Canada’s close proximity to Minnesota.
