I just love when this list comes out! It really lets you know how fans are feeling about teams & players. Numbers don’t lie!
The NBA released the top 15 most popular jerseys and the top 10 most popular team merchandise today. The lists are based on sales at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue and NBAStore.com from April through Thanksgiving Weekend.
ps. Sorry Hov, you may have won the game Monday night, but my Knicks beat your team in merchandise sales! Owwwwww!
Reigning NBA Finals MVP LeBron James of the Miami Heat reclaims the No.1 spot on the NBA top-selling jerseys list and the New York Knicks are the top-selling team for the first time since December 2004.

Here are a few additional highlights:

NBAStore.com had its largest Cyber Monday in history on Nov. 26, with sales up double-digits over 2011. This year marks the seventh season that adidas has served as the official oncourt uniform and apparel provider of the NBA.
