Lakers guard Kobe Bryant maintained his top spot for the most popular jersey in the NBA, according to a report today by the NBA.

Lakers forward Pau Gasol was ranked 10th in the NBA.

Cleveland forward LeBron James, whose Cavaliers team will host the Lakers on Thursday night, had the second-most-popular jersey in the league.

The Lakers were the most popular team in the NBA, one spot ahead of the Boston Celtics.

The rankings are based on sales at the NBA Store in New York and NBAStore.com since the start of this season.
