The NBA player that has the top selling jersey is Carmelo Anthony. The team that has the most jersey sales is the New York Knicks. Some factors that determine how a players or teams jersey sells are how good the player is, if the jersey looks good, and if the team has a good fan base. I think Carmelo Anthony's jersey sells so much because he is a good player and his trade to the Knicks also boosted some jersey sales. I was surprised to see Deron Willams.

Carmelo Anthony has the top-selling jersey. He plays for the New York Knicks. He recently came up from the #4 spot and passed Lebron James. Many factors go into the jersey sales. Right now Carmelo and the rest of the Knicks are on fire, winning almost all of their lasty fifteen games. This definately effects the jersey sales. Also being the star of a particular team puts you at the top of the list. The first ten players are all from different teams. I am surprised to see Rose and Rondo so high on the list because they are both sidelined with sreious injuries and have not played in quite a while

This year, the top selling NBA jersey is Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, who surpassed Lebron James of the Miami Heat who has been number 1 three times. The New York Knicks also have the most team jersey sales, surpassing the big three of the the Miami Heat. Many factors come into play determining these sales. I think the biggest is skill, with all players on the list being the best in the leauge and at their position. Also, leauge popularity such as the Heat winning the title last year, OKC coming in second place or the Kincks hot streak. Im most surprised to see Deron Williams at number six for many reasons. Not having a superstar season, his team not doing very well and being on a new franchise team plays into this. Overall, many factors play into the sales of the jersey.

The player with the most jersey sales in the NBA is Carmelo Anthony who just surpassed Lebron James. The New York Knicks are the top selling team in the NBA. Some factors that determine who is on the top of the list are a winning percentage. No one wants to wear a team that is constanly losing. I was suprised to see Deron Williams on the top of the list. He is not that good and you never hear his name on SportsCenter.

1) Carmelo Anthony has the top selling jersey in NBA
2)And New-York has the top selling jersey in NBA
3)There is different factors that explain why a player sells jersey:
It can be because the player is really good and famous, it can be because he is the top player on a really popular team, if the player is very notorious or is really talented he is gonna sell more jerseys
4) I was surprise to see Derrick Rose and Deron Williams because I never heard of them before and they have a better rank that Dwyane Wade whom I heard of before.

Matt Sunderland 4/17..The NBA player with the most jersey sales is Derrick Rose. (Out of sympothy of his "fans" due to lack of playtime). The team with the most amount of jersey sales is, to no surprise, the Chicago Bulls. Players that usually sell the most jerseys are usually of the best players in the league, however many jerseys are sold due to color scheme or logo that appeals to the public. I am in a way surprised to see Jeremy Lin on the list of top jersey sales because I think he stinks. But at the same time, I believe many people of Chinese culture buy his jersey because he sort of represents them as that is where he is from.

Carmelo Anthony has the number 1 selling jersey and the Knicks have the top selling jerseys. The reason that Carmelo has the best selling jersey is that he had a great season by leading the league in scoring and giving his team the number 2 seed in the eastern conference.Also it could be because people just like their colors and decided to buy his jersey. I am really surprised to see that amare is on the list because one he has been injured for most of the year and two I don't think that he started at all this year.

Carmelo Anthony has the highest selling nba jersey. While the his team the New York Knicks have highest nba jersey. One factor is that if he is a good player they will buy his merchendise. Or if the fans like him because he has done good thing for that NBA team. Plus another factor is that if he is a good person and not a dirty player. I was surprised to see derrick rose on the list because he has never played a minute this season. Then there is devon williams because i have never heard of him before. Lastly there is kyrie irving because he is only a second year player.

Carmelo Anthony has the top selling NBA jersey. New York has the top NBA jersey sales. There are a few key factors that help determine what team or player sells the most jerseys. The players that sell the most jerseys are all very good players. They are either new players that make a huge breakthrough and do very well in their first season playing. The others have been around for a long time and have a rich history of doing very well in the NBA. I am surprised to see Paul Pierce on that list because I did not think that he was a very well known player outside of the New England area.

This year, the New York Knicks small forward Carmelo Anthony is leading all NBA players in jersey sales. The New York Knicks are also leading the NBA in total-team jersey sales. The main reason Carmelo and the Knicks are leading in both categories is because they're both having great seasons, which make people want to root for them. Another key factor that has a huge impact of jersey sales is skill level. People want to buy the better player's jersey. The player that I am most surprised to see on the list is Derrick Rose, simply because he has not played in 1 game all season.

Carmelo Anthony of the new york Knicks has the top selling jersey. New York Knicks sold the most jerseys this season. By looking at the top players, some factors that made these jerseys sell more than others are because some players have a better skill level than others, which brings attention to them. I am surprised to see Amar’e Stoudemire on the list because he doesnt have any significant skills or advantages over other players.
