24 > 23, Obviously

Kobe Bryant’s #24 jersey is the top selling jersey for the 2009-2010 NBA season. #24 beat out #23, Akron’s own Lebron James who I would have assumed to be the top seller as his success continues to grow. But not so, and I can kinda see why.

The Lakers also rank #1 overall for team merchandise sold, and I witnessed this frenzy when styling at a game against Golden State. The fan store at the Staples Center was packed, and of course, I had to pick up souvenirs. Though I passed on posing as #24.

On a related note, I’d rather get Lebron basketball shoes over Kobe’s signature line.
