NBA Jerseys - Guide to Top NBA Jerseys

Let's take a look at several of the most popular NBA throwback jerseys around.  Consider Kobe Bryant, a basketball phenom who started as professional in 1996 directly from high school (much like the current whiz kid LeBron James).  Kobe partnered with towering teammate, Shaquille O'Neal, to lead his Los Angeles Lakers to a total of three national titles, and he is considered at least in the top 40 of the greatest players of all time.  His number 8 LA Lakers jersey is a definite collector's item, especially with the number switch rumors constantly surrounding him.

Going back further in time, you can find Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was also a major Lakers superstar in the 1970s.  Abdul-Jabbar won numerous awards, such as the NBA's MVP, and he has since become an icon of Los Angeles basketball and of intuitive, sportsmanlike play.  His number 33 Lakers jersey is a widely recognized symbol, both inside and outside of Los Angeles.

You can also find NBA jerseys for less well-known players, such as Mark Price of the Cavaliers and Mitch Richmond of the Sacramento Kings.  Many players in the league today (such as the aforementioned LeBron James) may one day have their jerseys retired. 

If you invest in a Yao Ming or LeBron James jersey today, it may appreciate significantly in the years to come, if these two NBA greats find their place in the pantheon of the NBA Hall of Fame; however, keep in mind that jerseys aren't sure things as collectibles. Still, they sure are fun to wear.
