The National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Basketball Players Association have partnered with Dapper Labs for the development of NBA Top Shot. It is a new digital platform for the basketball fans so that they can get the blockchain-based collectibles. It will launch this fall, but the game portion of the blockchain project will not launch until 2020.

Users will be able to collect, trade, and own live in-game moments from NBA history on the new platform. Initially, users will be able to acquire blockchain-based digital video clips from some of the league’s most iconic moments. Each digital video clip will have a number to mark it as distinct on the blockchain. The users will be able to trade or sell digital collectibles to others. However, NBA Top Shot will be more than just collecting historic moments.

According to the sources, the users will be able to go head-to-head against each other in competition. Players can create a roster using their digital collections and then compete against each other in online tournaments and leagues on-chain. The introduction of innovative features and mechanics to the team-building experience will offer a fun and compelling experience.

Recently, Italian Football ClubAS Roma has partnered with Socios dot com to launch a blockchain-based fan token. In another instance, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the pro basketball team from Ohio and its esports club Cavs Legion GC collaborated with the crypto firm UnitedCoin.
