NBA Store is the league's official retail flagship in Midtown Manhattan, at 545 Fifth Avenue near Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal. It sells jerseys, apparel, and memorabilia for all 30 NBA teams and sits on one of Manhattan's busiest tourist shopping corridors.

Unlike the restaurants and attractions damnlines usually tracks, our single search turned up no specific reviewer reports of lines or posted waits at this store — Yelp mentions centered on merchandise selection and staff rather than crowding. If you'd rather avoid whatever Fifth Avenue foot traffic exists, weekday mornings shortly after the 10am opening are a reasonable bet to be quieter than weekend afternoons or the holiday shopping season.

//When the line peaks
Weekends and the holiday shopping season (Thanksgiving–New Year) likely bring the heaviest Fifth Avenue foot traffic, though no specific wait reports were found for this store Extended Friday–Saturday hours (until 9pm, vs. 8pm other days) suggest evening business is heavier those two nights

Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
