NBA Jerseys Sales Data for 2010
It’s one of the best gauges of NBA popularity: the NBA’s yearly top-ten (actually top 15) list of the league’s best selling jerseys that’s released (almost) every April. The listicle provides insight into how many fans spend on their favorite NBA players.
Kobe Bryant once again was #1 on the list. Including this season, the Los Angeles Lakers star has topped the list an league record six times since the NBA started releasing sales data in 2001. And again, the Cavaliers LeBron James came in second place to Bryant. Third on this best-selling NBA jerseys list is the Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett.
Fourth was Derrick Rose who shot up from outside the top ten into the top five with a breakout season. The Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard capped the top five. Here’s the list of the top 15 most-popular jerseys for the 2009-10 NBA season.
