    Won't last. Its the first year of a new changed jersey on a new team so that will show an immediate spike for any big name player with that sort of change, kobe sustained it even after a year after his no 24 and I expect lebron to drop off next season

    Yeah but according to the LBJ haters in this forum, most people want to burn his jersey and wish him lifelong misery

    I guess they wont like this news...

    Surely this could have been placed in the **Official Miami Heat 2010-11 season thread** right?

    Are you still positive that the Thunder won't make it out of the first round?

    An NBA star changing team always always spike themselves on top of the jersey selling market it shouldn't be a surprise to you. Plus most of the people buying jerseys are still casual sports fans, that's no way to justify if people hates Lebron or not.

    Plus Kobe was hated a lot back in the days, but when he changed his number to 24 people still bought it.

    Not like Lebron.

    He is the only reigning MVP and superstar period to be constantly referred to as "villain"

    Okay, if you wanna keep telling yourself Lebron is the most hated person to ever walk the Earth, you can do that.

    90% were probably by cavs fans who later burned them.

    He went to a new team, of course his jersey sales will be higher because everyone already has Kobe's Laker jersey and no one had LeBron's Miami jersey.

    If Kobe went to a new team, his sales would be higher.

    what's more surprising is that Shaq jerseys are 12th and he's having one of the worst seasons of his career.

    Buying a jersey for the sole purpose of burning it later is like burning money. That's just idiotic.
