LeBron James might be the best player in the league. And the San Antonio Spurs might be the hottest team in the playoffs (right now). But when it comes to jersey sales, Kobe Bean Bryant is #1. Again.
Bryant's tank topped the NBA's year-end list of most popular jerseys for the second season in a row, with King James finishing as the runner-up (do they flip-flop positions at the end of next season if LeBron wins a title this year? Hmm...). No Spurs made the list, which did include a few surprises...
Such as... KG having the third-most popular jersey in the league (despite having a very un-KG-like season)... and Chris Paul outselling Kevin Durant's jersey, despite the latter's MVP-worthy season (and the former missing a ton of games to injury).
You can see the complete list below. Enjoy!
