Via ESPN:
LeBron James is again atop the NBA’s list of top-selling jerseys in the newest rankings released Thursday. The rankings are based on overall sales from adidas and NBAStore.com in the fourth quarter of this year, along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday sales — both of which were record-setting, the league said.
Kobe Bryant is No. 2 on the list, followed by Derrick Rose — despite Bryant missing the Los Angeles Lakers’ first 19 games because of an Achilles injury and Rose being sidelined for the season by another knee injury.
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors made the list for the first time at No. 6. Other first-timers include James Harden of the Houston Rockets (No. 12) and Paul George of the Indiana Pacers(No. 14). George joins Jermaine O’Neal (No. 13 in December 2005) and Reggie Miller (No. 8 in December 2002) as the only Pacers to crack the top 15 since 2001, the year the league started tracking jersey sales.
Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony came in at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.
…Dwyane Wade is No. 7 on the list and is followed by Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Harden, Rajon Rondo, George and Michael Carter-Williams. Carter-Williams is the only rookie on the 15-player list.
