Everybody kisses the Celtic's ass worldwide... its so ing annoying to C Garnett'/Pierce's jerseys everywhere... Bulls also still have a huge fanbase post jordan
IMO they got to be somewhere between the 3rd and fifth position. Clearly behind the Rockets and probably behind the Lakers too. The only other two teams that I think could be bigger than the Spurs are the Celtics and Bulls.

1. Bulls
2. Lakers
3. Celtics
4. Knicks
5. Rockets (China)
I'd put Spurs at 6 then maybe Pistons then Cavs etc...
Bulls are without a doubt the most popular team in the history of the NBA but right now I think the Rockets (Yao) are bigger.
Knicks ? i don't think so
and Rockets, in number of people, yes because of China, but in others countries, not at all.
Spurs, thank to TP and Manu (France, Argentina and a lot of european and south american fabs) and all the les, even if not so hyped, should be in the TOP 5 right now IMO.
here the TOP 10 of the most sold jerseys in Europe:
1 - Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
2 - Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
3 - Pau Gasol, Los Angeles Lakers
4 - LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
5 - Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs
6 - Allen Iverson, Denver Nuggets
7 - Andra Bargnani, Toronto Raptors
8 - Dywane Wade, Miami Heat
9 - Marco Belinelli, Golden State Warriors
10 - Jose Calderon, Toronto Raptors

I guess;
1. Lakers
2. Celtics
3. Bulls
4. Cavs
5. Spurs
Bulls have dropped i think, that was mainly because of jordan, but the mania is over now.
Rockets, just because of china, a huge fanbase because of their population. What about the mavs? Heat?
nice, i was just about to ask someone on here if there was such a list for europe
From my perspective not even close to the discussion, well the Heat maybe.
I was more in a long term perspective rather than today perspective. I've considered a list basically since NBA is famous all over the world. The international interest for the NBA has really begun with M Jordan this is why I begin the list with the Bulls. Today I don't even think that the bulls are in the top 3.
I've lived in Asia for 12 years. Honestly, the Spurs have a very low profile, if any at all.
It's
Bulls, Rockets, Lakers, Mavericks, Celtics, Cavs........then I don't know who or what.
Spurs rank very low abroad, at least in Asia.
well, in a french NBA forum, here are the stats for the most popular teams (number of pages viewed):
http://www.basket4life.com/viewtopic-8284.html
1 Los Angeles Lakers
2 Rockets
3 Celtics
4 Suns
5 Nuggets
6 Bulls
7 Knicks
8 Blazers
9 Heat
10 Magic
11 Sonics
12 Spurs
13 Bucks
14 Warriors
15 Pistons
16 Hawks
17 Jazz
18 Bobcats
19 Cavs
20 Grizzles
21 Raptors
22 76ers
23 Wizzards
24 Nets
25 Hornets
26 Timberwolves
27 Clippers
28 Kings
29 Mavs
30 Pacers
i'm a little bit surprised by the results.
yep I don't understand the rockets thing among French fans but they show some love for the knicks.
The knicks is the team of New York the most popular city abroad + e + pat +++ I really thing that NY is a top 5 - 10 team.
How many people voted in there? You know what Penn and Teller say about polls.
Suns, Nuggets, really? The fricking Sonics?
1 lakers
2 knicks
3 bulls
4 celtics
5 spurs
well, it's said on this forum that rockets and blazers stats aren't reliable for whatever reason.
LA: 27557 pages viewed.............Spurs: 6464..........Pacers 598.
look at the link, the numbers are just after the teams names. i still can't attest these stats are reliable though
Boy, the French just love those Germans.
According to "NBA.com español" the most popular teams are:
1. Los Angeles Lakers
2. Miami Heat
3. New York Knicks
4. Chicago Bulls
5. Cleveland Cavaliers
6. Boston Celtics
7. Denver Nuggets
8. Philadelphia 76ers
9. New Jersey Nets
10. San Antonio Spurs
This list was made taking into consideration the quan y of representative merchandising sold by each team but it considers the US also, so knowing how low profile the Spurs are in America this has to mean that the Spurs are big in the rest of the world. Surprised: No Rockets.

^^ quite weird to see the heat so high
In Asia, especially in Hong Kong, Spurs are acutally among the top 5 most popular team.
The bulls, rockets, lakers, celtics are the other 4. Surpisingly, pacers are acutally quite popular as well.
In China, I guess the ranking in this year is the following:
1. Rockets
2. Lakers
3. Celtics
4. Spurs
For the past decade,
1. Rockets
2. Bulls
3. Lakers
4. Spurs
I don't think anyone is lying. I guess is just different perspective or maybe different parts of Asia.
I kid, I kid.
In Philippines we have:
1. Lakers (Kobe's nut hugger)
2. Celtics (after the champhionship)
3. Bulls (because of Jordan era)
4. bandwagonners
5. spurs
