Title: Kobe's No. 24 is No. 1 in jersey sales
Post by: Dos Equis on April 28, 2010, 04:12:31 PM
As usual.   :)

Kobe's No. 24 is No. 1 in jersey sales

Just as Kobe Bryant took the reins Tuesday night to lead the Lakers in an overwhelming playoff Game 5 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he also is showing how much clout he has in the marketplace.

Bryant's No. 24 jersey again is the top-seller in the NBA, the league announced Wednesday. His jersey also was No. 1 in 2008-09.

Bryant
The Lakers were the top team in NBA merchandise sales, as has been the case in seven of the past eight seasons.

Second to Bryant in individual jersey sales is LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett was No. 3, up one spot from last season. Chicago Bulls second-year player Derrick Rose was No. 4, and the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard was No. 5.

Kevin Durant, whose Thunder have posed a surprising threat to the Lakers, is in the top 10 for the first time, coming in at No. 9. Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony moved from No. 15 to No. 10.

More on the Lakers
For more news and notes on the Lakers, check out the Land O' Lakers blog from the Kamenetzky Brothers. Blog

Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat came in at No. 6; Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets was No. 7, and Celtics star Paul Pierce was No. 8.

The Celtics were No. 2 in team merchandise sales for the second season in a row. The Cavaliers, Bulls and New York Knicks round out the top five.

Bryant changed his number from 8 to 24 at the beginning of the 2006-07 season. Bryant wore No. 8 for the first 10 years of his career.

Got an autographed Derrrick Thomas jersey back when I was a teenager. To the getbiggers who are younger than 25........DT played OLB/DE for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1989-2000. I was big fan of his talent during all of his career. Very shitty the way he died.

I would never buy a basketball jersey with today's NBA players. I'm a little old at 36 to be sporting NBA jerseys. But if I did I would wear someone like Bird, Robertson, or Maravich, something retro to the glory years of pro basketball.

Yeah DT was an absolute stud.  I was watching the game when he like 9 sacks (I think it was 9?) and just missed out of 10.  Something like that. 

Too bad he hasn't gotten into the HOF yet.  Definitely deserves to be there.

Since this is a thread about Kobe, here's a question....


Has anyone noticed how much Kobe Bryant is balding? It wasn't that long ago that he had a mini fro, right?

He used to have some shadow on top but everytime his hair grows out a little, you can see some male pattern baldness.

Oh well....even Jordan the great was bald so no big deal.

If you're a guy over the age of 12 and you're wearing another man's jersey, you're a fag.

Those things are for women.

Gotta love the thugs sporting their earrings, pretty sneakers, and Allen Iverson throwback jerseys.  Yeah, they're so tough.   ::)

Queers.

Well I wear my last name on the back of my jerseys so I am in the TO   (I luv me some me)department!     My main reason is that whenever i buy another players jersey, that player (Roy Williams, TO, Quincy Carter, Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, Deion, Dorsett, Walker) either gets traded or cut.   I have Magic and Jack Johnson's Kings  jerseys   but since my last name is Johnson, its all good!

When we were in D.C. during the time the Redskins were about to play Denver in the Super Bowl, my dad tried to put a white cap with a red R on my head   and I dodged away. To HIM it was a big day for Doug Williams (Black QB thing)   to me   it was a day Washington made the Super Bowl  and I hate them more than anyone else.  So if someone gave me a Skins jersey   I'd get rid of it quicker than Eli got rid of his Charger jersey! :P
