Jordan rules NBA Store's first decadePosted: Wednesday March 26, 2008 11:22PM; Updated: Wednesday March 26, 2008 11:22PM NEW YORK (AP) -- Michael Jordan is still on top as the NBA's leading salesman five years after he retired. Jordan has the best-selling jersey in the history of the NBA Store, the league announced Wednesday in kicking off plans for its anniversary celebration. Kobe Bryant was second, followed by Allen Iverson. Like Jordan, they also changed uniform numbers or teams, creating more interest in their jerseys. LeBron James was fourth and Shaquille O'Neal rounded out the top five. The remainder of the list included: Tracy McGrady, Dwyane Wade, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Tim Duncan. The top-10 list was the first of activities planned over the next six months, leading up to the store's 10th anniversary. The NBA Store opened Sept. 18, 1998, in New York, becoming the first retail establishment owned, operated and merchandised by a North American professional sports league. The store receives visitors from about 200 countries each year. Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. | |||
