For the second-year in a row, Kobe Bryant has topped the list of the most popular NBA jerseys in Europe.

Bryant also has the most popular jersey in the U.S. Bryant, who was recently named the most-hated basketball player, continues to polarize; a player that is so popular around the world, can also be the most-disliked.

The top four most popular jerseys were Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics (#2), Pau Gasol of the Lakers (#3) and last year’s MVP LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers (#4). Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat was at #5 on the list followed by Tony Parker of France at #6.

The full list of the most popular fifteen jerseys are below:

1. Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
2. Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
3. Pau Gasol, Los Angeles Lakers
4. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
5. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat
6. Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs
7. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic
8. Andrea Bargnani, Toronto Raptors
9. Jose Calderon, Toronto Raptors
10. Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics
11. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
12. Rudy Fernandez, Portland Trailblazers
13. Marco Belinelli, Golden State Warriors
14. Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls
15. Gilbert Arenas, Washington Wizards

Though American-born players dominate the top of the list, international players, especially from the Toronto Raptors, fill six of the spots from from slots 8-15.

Starting with Italy’s Andrea Bargnani at #8, comes José Calderón at #9, then Germany’s Dirk Nowitzki (#11), Spain’s Rudy Fernández (#12), Italy’s Marco Belinelli (#13), and France’s Joakim Noah (#14).

Here’s betting that if Danilo Gallinari does half as well as expected, he’ll be in the top-10 next season.

The Most Popular NBA Jerseys in Europe list is based on sales from retail locations across Europe during the 2008-09 NBA season.
