Former NBA star Dennis Johnson died Feb. 23 at the age of 52, and naturally his items took jump on eBay. After seeing months of sales of 10-15 items per week at less than $5, over 350 "D.J." items have sold for an average of about $20 each since his passing. Johnson, noted for his gritty, steady and defensive prowess, played on three NBA title teams, twice with the Boston Celtics and once with the Seattle Supersonics, when he was named the 1979 Finals MVP.

Switching to another court -- tennis -- there didn't seem to be much buying excitement around the new record set by Swiss tennis star Roger Federer, who has been the world's top-ranked men's player for 161 straight weeks, breaking Jimmy Connors' 30-year-old record of 160 straight weeks. Conner's still holds the record for most titles at 109, compared to Federer's 46. Still, no one has yet figured out how to stop the Fed.
