Definition of NBA Top Shot



What does the term "NBA Top Shot" mean? What is the definition of the term "NBA Top Shot"?

"NBA Top Shot" is taking the sports collectible world by storm and could very well change the industry forever.

The meaning and definition of NBA Top Shot.  What is it?  Sports King explains.With "NBA Top Shot", instead of collecting traditional physical sports cards you are collecting digital "moments".

For instance - let's say that Lebron James throws down a monster dunk to win a game in overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks.

"NBA Top Shot", via their partnership with the NBA, would allow collectors to purchase this digital "memory".

There are different "tiers" to refer to the amount of these "memories" that are circulating in the hands of collectors. Here are the five tiers:

Common Tier, 1000+
Rare Tier, 150-999
Legendary Tier, 25-99
Ultimate Tier, Only 3
Legendary Tier, Only 1

The more exclusive the tier, the more valuable the memory.

All highlights are numbered and verified by the blockchain. Certain sets of highlights are limited edition, which means that more copies of the highlight will not be made available. This increases the value even more.

Also, all highlights have a serial number - the lower the number, the more valuable the moment will be.

So, if there are 30 moments limited edition moments available, the #1 serial number will be worth more than the #30, even though they are the EXACT same memory.
