If you needed another data point showing Tyrese Maxey is on the cusp of stardom (you know, aside from watching him play a game of basketball), check out where the 23-year-old ranks among NBA jersey sales for the first half of the 2023-24 season.

Maxey’s jersey sales being as high as 9th is remarkable when you think about it. Every other player on this list has made an All-NBA team, with just two exceptions: Victor Wembanyama, who was the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft and had more hype than any prospect since LeBron James, and LaMelo Ball, who won Rookie of the Year in 2021, made an All-Star team in 2022, and had the Ball Publicity Factory boost his name recognition into the stratosphere.
