KD has the 15th most popular jersey in the league

by Royce Young on January 20, 2010 at 11:46 am 30 Comments

Kevin Durant JerseyThe list of 15:

1. Kobe Bryant
2. LeBron James
3. Dwight Howard
4. Derrick Rose
5. Dwyane Wade
6. Kevin Garnett
7. Chris Paul
8. Paul Pierce
9. Shaquille O’Neal
10. Pau Gasol
11. Carmelo Anthony
12. Steve Nash
13. David Lee
14. Allen Iverson
15. Kevin Durant

To me, this is a big development. Add Chris Ballard’s piece today, multiple other recent features, the MVP talk, the Hyperizers ad, the ESPN NBA ad, the jersey sales and just a host of other things and it just seems like Kevin Durant is becoming that household superstar name in the league. He’s everywhere. He may play in little ‘ol Oklahoma City but he’s clearly getting noticed. Which is something I’ve been dreaming about since he came here. We’ve got our LeBron, our Kobe, our Wade. We’ve got our STAR.

i do wear clothing, but i'm not passionate about it. i haven't given one second of thought as to what i think of the uniforms, what would look better, etc. i have a durant jersey because i like KD, not because i like or dislike the design. if you hate it, fine, but it's been nearly two years. let's accept that we have a pretty awesome team and shut the f**k up about the jerseys... finally!

wow, it only took four comments before some douchebag complained about the jerseys. i love how our fans are so passionate about clothing…

You are such a hypocrite! I bet you're wearing clothing right now... And you love it.

I think the road jerseys should just say "OKC" kinda like The Suns road jerseys and the Hawks alternate jerseys. Oklahoma City is just too much to fit in a small space like that, especially when one word is way bigger that the other.

I like the home jerseys more than the road jerseys too.. I don't have a KD jersey yet, but I have a Westbrook home jersey.. will probably get a KD soon though.. i love that he's in the Top 15!

David Lee? That is very surprising.

Even though I don't paticurarly like the road jerseys, I do have issues watching away games for this reason.

When we are on the road it seems like either A. the gym is empty or 2. like the fans don't really care enough to cheer.

That just takes some of the excitement out of the game atmosphere for me... but i watch anyway for when Ibaka "sneaks" into the games :)

Home jerseys are growing on me. Would love to see some improvement on the roadies, like just OKC.

I've got 2 of 'em. Home and road. From what I see at Ford Center, the road uni sells much better than home. Looking forward to a "OKC" alternate uni.

The DON :Speaking of our jerseys, can we PLEASE for the love of god change at least our road jerseys starting first thing next year? Our road unis are brutal to look at. Completely amateurish. I want my Thunder dressed in sexy unis when I watch them pummel opponents on the road…..PAUSE

I applaud our gay fans out there. No one should be afraid of their sexuality, the true feelings of the heart. And to any straight guy out there hating on the don, it is less competition for the rest of us :)

I am Jax Raging Bile Duct, and I contributed to this statistic.

Haha, me too. I bought my brother a KD swingman for christmas, too, so I guess I contributed to it twice. Got you beat!

I think that when The Don speaks a "pause" is pretty much required after every sentence

It's like "that's what she said" but only if something has a homosexual tone to it.

Can someone explain the whole "Pause" thing to me. I know the players say it all the time... but what's it mean.

Speaking of the 35 jersey, I just downloaded an OKC #35 jersey for my avatar on x-box live. Too bad Durant's name isn't on the back, but oh well.

Speaking of....can we get a new Thunder shirt that just says "PAUSE" on the front and on the back your can put "DOINT"

Im waiting for Nike to give Durant his own "puppet' along with Kobe and Lebron. That will be the day.

I'm surprised by rose being fourth. I mean he has had some buzz but to me it seems like it has died off some

surprising that iverson is still the 14th best selling jersey. All the others make sense.

Here's to hoping Durant defies the "small market" gods
