NEW YORK (AP)\u2014If LeBron James\u2019<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> move to Miami made him a villain to some,
\nfans like dressing as a bad guy.<\/p>\n

James had the top-selling jersey in the NBA this season, moving past Kobe
\nBryant<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> to claim the No. 1 spot for the first time since his rookie season in
\nCleveland in 2004.<\/p>\n

Bryant dropped to No. 2 on the list announced Wednesday, while Rajon Rondo<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\nmoved up to third, one of five Boston Celtics<\/a> among the top 15.<\/p>\n

The list is based on sales on NBAStore.com since the start of the 2010-11
\nseason.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 popularity was expected to suffer after his much-criticized departure
\nfrom the Cavaliers last summer. His switch of teams and numbers, from No. 23 to
\n6, ended the reign of Bryant, who had been No. 1 since the start of the 2008-09
\nseason.<\/p>\n

Amare Stoudemire<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (4th) and Carmelo Anthony<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (8th) also made the top 10 in
\ntheir first seasons as Knicks. Shaquille O\u2019Neal<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (12th), Ray Allen<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (13th), Paul
\nPierce<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Kevin Garnett<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> rounded out the list.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
