According to the NBA’s top-seller list, Jayson Tatum has the third most popular jersey in the league in terms of sales from the second half of this season.
This week, Tatum became the first player in Celtics history to average more than 30 points per game during a single season. He finished the regular-season as the NBA’s leading scorer in terms of total points. He also recently debuted a signature shoe with Jordan Brand, the Tatum 1.
LeBron James and Stephen Curry were the only two players whose jerseys sold more than Tatum in recent months, according to the NBA.
