LeBron James' jersey is the NBA's biggest seller worldwide.
The Miami Heat star tops the league's global list of top-selling jerseys for the 2012-13 season, edging Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and James' Heat teammate Dwyane Wade for the No. 1 spot.
James says he's humbled and appreciative by having fans all over the world wear his jersey. The rankings are based on Adidas' global sales for the past season.
