She's still searching for a WNBA championship, but Los Angeles Sparks forward Candace Parker can take some comfort in having the No. 1 selling jersey in the WNBA.

The figures are based upon sales at the NBA Store in New York City and on WNBAStore.com during the 2009 WNBA regular season, and Parker's No. 3 jersey ais at the top of the list for the second straight year.

Parker, the former Naperville Central star who missed part of this season after giving birth to her first child, helped lead the Los Angeles Sparks all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Last season she was the 2008 WNBA Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year.

Parker's teammate Lisa Leslie, an eight-time WNBA All-Star and three-time WNBA MVP who recently closed out her final season in the league after 13 years, holds the second spot. Becky Hammon of the San Antonio Silver Stars is third.

Here's a list of the top-selling jerseys:

1. Candace Parker, Los Angeles

2. Lisa Leslie, Los Angeles

3. Becky Hammon, San Antonio

4. Diana Taurasi, Phoenix

5. Shameka Christon, New York

6. Essence Carson, New York

7. Sue Bird, Seattle

8. Janel McCarville, New York

9. Angel McCoughtry, Altanta

10. Deanna Nolan, Detroit
