LeBron James: Remember how badly “the decision” supposedly hurt him? And how he’s playing in an apathetic sports town? Well, LeBron had the best-selling jersey in the league this year. Smart move to change teams and numbers. He was followed by Kobe, Rajon Rondo, Amare and Derrick Rose. I’m surprised Dwight Howard (9th) and Blake Griffin (11th) were so low. The Celtics had five players in the top 15 – Shaq was 12th, Ray Allen was 13th, Pierce was 14th and KG was 15th. I’m shocked Stephen Curry isn’t on the list. [USA TODAY]

Basketball jerseys, eh? Wearing those things has always seemed a bit odd to me.

Warriors jersies are ugly.

I don’t see how people can wear jerseys outside of a sporting event anyway.

Has a Clipper’s jersey ever cracked the top 20? Let alone knocking on the door to top 10…

I know folks that go to NBA games and they don’t seem the jersey buying/wearing to the game type of fan. I dunno.

NHL fans, on the other hand…..

Going to and coming from, or if it’s at a sports bar during a game seems reasonable. There’s this huge bodybuilder at my gym who lifts in a Brian Urlacher jersey every day with his big weight belt on the outside. Some dudes wear NBA jerseys there to lift in, too. White dudes in Duncan jerseys, just blasting their calves. Really weird.

I always wear one on gameday, even if I’m just watching the game at home. Gotta support the team.

Shouldnt jersey sales drastically go up for a star who changes teams? This seems like a no brainer.

Yes but Shaq has hardly been a star the last five years.

This made me chortle.
Geeezeus

Puddy?

He’d be a happy fella today. Devils moved up and snagged the #4 pick.

Football and hockey jersey I can understand. I like the batting tees for baseball (have two Utley and a Halladay and will be adding a Lee shortly) games.

LeBron had the best-selling jersey in the league this year.

And NCIS is the most watched show on television.

I was running a 5k last year and a guy runs by me in a Paul Pierce jersey, really weird sight

I think the most acceptable jerseys are soccer jerseys. They are essentially tee shirts with the only difference being what they’re made of.

Do they even make Pistons jerseys anymore?

That’s pretty much what a baseball jersey is, although the batting practice ones are better because they aren’t heavy as shit like an authentic player jersey.
