The Boston Celtics star placed seventh, behind players like Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama but ahead of former MVPs Nikola Jokic and Kevin Durant.

After suffering an Achilles injury in last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals, many questioned whether or not Tatum would even return to the court during the 2025-26 season.
In the 16 games Tatum played, he averaged 21.8 points, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals and a career-high 10 rebounds.
During the 2023-24 season, Tatum’s No. 0 ranked as high as third on the jersey sales list, trailing only Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
The only other Duke alum on the list was rookie Cooper Flagg, who came in at ninth place.
