For the sixth time in his 11-year career, LeBron James has the top-selling jersey in the NBA, according to ESPN.
LeBron: "It means a lot to know that I have so many fans that want to wear my jersey because they respect the way I play the game."

James was followed closely by Kevin Durant, and the gap was reportedly as close as Durant's ever been to the league's top spot. Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose, both injured for almost the entire season, finished third and fourth, followed by Steph Curry in fifth.
San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan made an appearance at No. 14, the first time he's cracked the top-15 since 2007.
As a team, the Heat had the top-selling jersey, followed by the Lakers, Bulls, Thunder and Knicks.
