what's nba top shot?
NBA Top Shot is an officially licensed NFT collectibles platform that allows fans to buy, sell, and trade digital video highlights from NBA games, known as "Moments." Built on the Flow blockchain by Dapper Labs, it combines blockchain technology with sports memorabilia to create verifiable scarcity and ownership for these clips. Users can collect Moments from their favorite players and teams, participate in packs and challenges, and engage in a marketplace for trading. The project gained massive popularity during the 2021 NFT boom, peaking at billions in trading volume, and continues to evolve with new sets and features like commercial rights for complete collections. It aims to enhance fan engagement by turning iconic plays into tradable digital assets.
