I think this is ridiculous, but Jayson Tatum might think otherwise. Tatum, who is 25 years old, is a rising star who gets better every single year. You might argue that Tatum is the best player on the best team in the league this year, at least as of right now. The fact that he is a player for one of the most prestigious teams in professional sports also helps.
Tatum is leading the Boston Celtics, who are 36-11 and own the best record in the NBA, with an average of 26.9 points on 47/36/81 shooting splits, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. Tatum was revealed as the starting player for the All-Star Game just one week ago.
With the first half of the 2023-24 NBA season in the books, that meant it was time for NBAStore.com to put out their annual “Top-Selling Jerseys” list. Each year, this list provides a somewhat accurate snapshot of who matters most in a given NBA season. Of course, it’s not always perfect — the love affair with LaMelo Ball continues to baffle me, and it makes me so angry that the best basketball player alive is one spot behind him on the list… but hey, I digress — but it’s always worth scoping out.
At the halfway point of the season, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has climbed up to number two on the top-selling jerseys list, the highest he’s ever placed on the semi-annual list. Tatum took to Twitter to offer a humble reaction to his placement on the list.
