An alliance that transcends sports: Fanatics, Brady, and Bueckers

Paige Bueckers contract with Fanatics places her among an elite roster of athletes that includes Sabrina Ionescu, Victor Wembanyama, JuJu Watkins, and Tom Brady himself.

The deal makes Fanatics the exclusive distributor of autographed memorabilia from the Dallas Wings guard, including jerseys, basketballs, and items used in historic games.

In an interview with Forbes, Bueckers said, “Joining Fanatics was a natural fit. It allows me to connect with fans and create new opportunities for them to support me. My journey hasn’t been easy, so seeing people continue to believe in me is truly special.”
