It's been revealed that Derrick Rose's jersey is the most popular in America, second in Europe and Asia, and third in Latin America.
Mat believes that he is due some (most) of the credit as he proudly wears his D-Rose jersey every single day.
It does surprise Mat that Derrick's jersey was that popular this year. In a year in which Derrick was out for a majority of the season, and the Bulls were eliminated in the first round, more Rose jerseys were sold than every other player in the league outside of Kobe.
It's astounding when you look at the fact that this is just Rose's 4th year in the league and he's not exactly the loud self promoting type such as a #6, Kobe, or Dwight Howard.
Top sales in America is amazing in itself, but the fact that his popularity has now grown to an enormous level this quickly in China, Europe, and Latin America thrills Mat.
Mat just hopes that a majority of the people who purchased those jerseys aren't afraid to come out to the UC at the beginning of the year if, and when, Derrick is not in the lineup.
