Call it the Return of the King. LeBron James has passed Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers to take over the No. 1 spot on the NBA's best-selling jersey list this season.

It's the first time in seven years James has grabbed the top spot. Bryant's No. 24 jersey has had a stranglehold on the No. 1 spot since the the beginning of the 2008-2009 season. The list of most popular jerseys is based off sales at NBAStore.com since the tipoff of the 2010-2011 season.

James damaged his reputation when he used ESPN's special, The Decision, to publicly dump his former club, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and home state fans in Ohio for the bright lights of South Beach. But in his first season with Miami Heat, sales of King James' No. 6 jersey took off.

In another surprise, Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics has cracked the Top 3 for the first time. Five Celtics stars -- Rondo, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Shaquille O'Neal -- rank in the Top 15 best-selling jerseys. That's the first time five players from the same club have made the list. Rookies John Wall of the Washington Wizards and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers, meanwhile, rank Nos. 10 and 11 respectively.

The Lakers lead in team merchandise sales for the 8th time in 9 seasons. The Celtics are No. 2 for the third straight season. The Heat, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls round out the Top 5 in team sales.
