Wade No Longer the NBA 's Top Seller
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
Dwyane Wade has no problems selling his jersey in South Florida, but when it comes to the rest of the country, he has to take a backseat to Kobe Bryant.
After nearly two years at No. 1, the Miami Heat guard's jersey sales have been bypassed by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, the National Basketball Association announced Wednesday.
Wade has fallen to number 2, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James. The rankings are based on jersey sales at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City and NBAStore.com from the start of the 2006-07 NBA season through Dec. 31.the National Basketball Association announced Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Lakers remain number one in team sales. The Heat are No. 2, followed by the New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls.
