Top Selling NBA Jerseys for 2013
At the end of the regular season for 2013, the NBA announced the 15 top-selling jerseys for the season. Carmelo Anthony overtook LeBron James for the top spot (and after he was a factor in forcing last year’s #2 jersey seller in Jeremy Lin out of New York). Melo is the first New York Knicks player to top the list of jersey rankings since the list was released in the 2000-01 season.
| Rank | Jersey | Team |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carmelo Anthony | New York Knicks |
| 2 | LeBron James | Miami Heat |
| 3 | Kevin Durant | Oklahoma City Thunder |
| 4 | Kobe Bryant | Los Angeles Lakers |
| 5 | Derrick Rose | Chicago Bulls |
| 6 | Deron Williams | Brooklyn Nets |
| 7 | Dwyane Wade | Miami Heat |
| 8 | Rajon Rondo | Boston Celtics |
| 9 | Chris Paul | Los Angeles Clippers |
| 10 | Blake Griffin | Los Angeles Clippers |
| 11 | Kyrie Irving | Cleveland Cavaliers+ |
| 12 | Dwight Howard | Los Angeles Lakers |
| 13 | Russell Westbrook | Oklahoma City Thunder |
| 14 | Amar'e Stoudemire | New York Knicks* |
| 15 | Paul Pierce | Boston Celtics |
Carmelo taking the title isn’t a surprise, but it’s questionable how the NBA gathers this data seeing as they compile the list based off the combined sales at the NBA Store in New York City, as well as NBAStore.com from the beginning of the regular season (November of the previous year) to April of 2013. Not exactly fair — we’d assume that New York Knicks gear is the top-selling and most-popular team in… New York. In any case, LeBron came in second while Kevin Durant was in third place.
