The NBA just released sales data from its online shop for the first half of the 2023-24 season, and the Boston Celtics and superstar Jayson Tatum both ranked among the most popular with fans. In fact, Tatum sits No. 2 in jersey sales in the entire league.
Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry once again had the top selling jersey, as he did a year ago, while this time last season, Tatum ranked No. 6 in the league. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama, and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo rounded out the top five spots for jersey sales this year.
Jersey sales aren’t the only way to underscore Tatum’s popularity in the league. Tatum was just named a starter for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, earning the third most fan votes in the league in the process. This represents his fifth consecutive All-Star nod.
