^^The NBA had nothing to do with it. If anything, it was Nike...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  It was the #1 selling jersey at the NBA STORE in NY and the LEAGUE'S ONLINE MARKET.  You don't think the NBA sees mad paper from jersey sales?  The NBA had nothing to do with it?  The fuck are you basing that on?  Back up your statement.  The NBA has to approve any numbers changes, and I guarantee you that the NBA gets an even bigger cut on anything sold at their official store in NY, which is where his jersey is the top seller.  You're an idiot if you don't think the NBA didn't know that this would boost his jersey sales.  Fuck, imagine if they had switched Lebrons / Wades jersey and it skyrocketed their sales.  You'd probably cry.

And before you geeks get hard ons about this, get your facts straight.  In nationwide retailers, its still between 3rd and 5th most popular.  LOL at this propaganda thread.

Kobe Bryant again has the most popular jersey at NBA stores.

Bryant changed from No. 8 to No. 24 this season, and the switch probably had a lot to do with his moving up from fourth to first in jersey sales at the NBA Store in New York and at the league's online market.

Bryant, who last topped the NBA's list during the 2002-03 season, passed the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade in jersey sales in NBA stores, but Neil Schwartz, who tracks sporting good sales for SportsOneSource, said Bryant's shirt is still anywhere from third to fifth in popularity nationwide.

The NBA's rankings are based on jersey sales at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in New York and at NBAStore.com from the start of the 2006-07 season through Dec. 31.

Schwartz said Bryant's jersey sales were hurt more by his feud with Shaquille O'Neal and the breakup of the championship Lakers than the scandal surrounding rape accusations in Colorado.

"I don't see this as a renaissance of his popularity," Schwartz said. "I see this as a great marketing ploy."

Wade, who had been on top since May 2005, fell to No. 2, one spot above LeBron James. Allen Iverson, helped by his trade to Denver, jumped from seventh to fourth, and Nuggets teammate Carmelo Anthony rounded out the top five.

Bryant helped the Lakers remain No. 1 in the team merchandise category for the fifth consecutive season. The NBA champion Heat moved up one spot to second.

Wow, someones catching feelings...The NBA had nothing to do with Kobe's decision to change his number, he notified them that he wanted it done after he already made the decision on his own, with rumors saying Nike encouraged him to do it due to Adidas re-releasing all of his previous KB8 shoes around the same time Nike was coming out with the Kobe Zoom 1s. The league only has to approve it, it wasn't their decision to have him switch...PeACe

LOL @ this guy obviously being upset.  You have to admit that it is funny that in reality he's still 3rd most popular at best.

I wouldn't say that. Kobe's been in the top 5 for the same jersey that has been out for like 8 years. Wade and Lebron topped the list because they're new and hella popular. Iverson is just the man.
