Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum enjoyed All-NBA seasons in at least one category: jersey sales.
The Boston Celtics point guard and small forward rank fourth and 15th, respectively, on the list ofbest-selling, personalized NBA jerseys during the 2018-19 regular season, the NBA announced Thursday, citing data from the league’s online store. Just Lebron James, Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo ranked ahead of Irving.
Meanwhile the Celtics were the third-highest selling NBA team in terms of branded merchandise.
Boston might have underwhelmed during the regular season, but its name, logo and star players remained ever-popular. Should the Celtics make a deep playoff run and contend for the NBA championship, Irving, Tatum and the team itself might climb these rankings next season.
