It appears that the venom the resulted from his televised decision has since faded and now LeBron James is back to being one of the most favorite players in the league today, well at least in jersey-sales.
The Miami Heat All-Star has the league's hottest-selling jersey, marking the third time the reigning MVP and Finals MVP has held this honor. James was No. 4 in the most recent rankings, released in April.
"It's an honor to be No. 1," said James, who last had the league's best-selling jersey in April 2011.
"I give all of the credit to the fans," said James, whose Cleveland jersey topped the league sales charts in 2004. "I would also like to thank all of my supporters and the Miami Heat organization. Let's keep it going."
Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant checked in as No.2, six spots higher than where he was in April and likely buoyed by the Thunder reaching the NBA Finals. Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers has the league's No. 3-selling jersey, followed by New York's Carmelo Anthony, Chicago's Derrick Rose, Boston's Rajon Rondo, Miami's Dwyane Wade, the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin, the Lakers' Dwight Howard and the Clippers' Chris Paul at No. 10.
Brooklyn's Deron Williams is No. 11, followed by Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, the Lakers' Steve Nash, Boston's Paul Pierce and Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki.
