Other than Lebron, Wade & Duncan - everybody on the list has jerseys from multiple teams in that timeframe.

Jordan kind of surprises me given the time frame, I really don't remember anyone wearing a 23 Wizards jersey. Though I guess given 98, Bulls Jerseys were still flying off the shelves.

Wow Kidd 8th. I didn't think of him as THAT popular. Given that Wade has only played half the decade, I'm shocked to see him so high. This list is biased to USA and maybe Canada, because I'm certain that Yao's jersey would make the list on a worldwide basis.

Yeah I'm quite shocked to see that too. Regardless of how well the jersey sold in 1998, Jordan's Wizards 2 yr stint had to have sold a lot of jerseys too, and have people really been buying Jordan's Bulls jersey THIS much?

These are the sales from the NBA Store in New York, btw. Explains Kidd at #8. That store had Marbury #1 a few years ago.

Oh I thought that was online sales. That explains the Kidd sales, and sort of explains Jordan's sales if you take into account tourists.

I bet they'll still be selling Jordan jerseys at a good clip 20 or 30 years from now. He's that much of a global icon.

Not a different team jersey, but he had a number change, so technically a different jersey.
