KG's jersey is the hottest

The Boston Celtics and their All-Star forward Kevin Garnett lead the NBA’s lists of most popular jerseys and team merchandise in sales at the NBA Store in New York City and online at NBAStore.com for the holiday season.

Dirk Nowitzki sits eighth on the list, which ranks the top 15, and the Mavericks check in at 10th.

The offseason acquisition of Garnett, along with the team’s fast start, catapulted both to the top spots for the first time since the NBA began compiling the lists in 2001. Garnett jerseys have tripled in sales since last season.
