KD has the 15th most popular jersey in the league

The 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.
