While his play may not be top three anymore, the Black Mamba’s jersey sales still rank amongst the best. Kobe Bryant came in at 3rd this year, behind just LeBron James and Derrick Rose.

Bryant ranked 3rd both in worldwide jersey sales and in United States jersey sales. Bryant was joined by Nash in the top 15, who came in 11th. The former-Laker jersey of Dwight Howard came in 7th last year, despite his less than successful tenure in purple and gold.
In America, Bryant was preceded again by James and Rose and followed by Durant, Anthony, Wade, Howard, Williams, Griffin and Rondo.
