Knicks' Anthony passes James in NBA jersey sales

New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony is the NBA's top scorer and owner of its most popular jersey.

Anthony passed MVP LeBron James for the top sales spot Tuesday, the league announced. He's the first Knicks player to lead since the list was released in 2001-02.

The list is based on sales at the NBA Store in New York and NBAStore.com since last November. Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant is third, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose.

The Knicks also remained first in team sales, followed by Miami and the Lakers.
