The internet always invokes the latest trends. In that regard, NBA Top Shot is the new platform that has been blowing up for the past few months. High-profile players like LeBron James and Luka Doncic have been seeing their highlights sell for thousands of dollars, but the latter is still not accustomed to the trading platform. 

NBA Top Shot is taking the world by storm. It made its debut during the 2020 lockdown, but it wasn’t until 2021 that it really began making headlines.

What Top Shot does is that it allows fans to own a unique piece of highlight or a clip pertaining to a particular player or a team. These digital items are encrypted and contain a unique serial number, so it is impossible for hackers to exploit them.

Since it has got the fans hooked, one can’t assume that might be the case with the players as well. Luka Doncic was asked if he had monitored the NBA Top Shot website in recent times, to which he replied: 

“Not yet, but Mark [Cuban] keeps texting me that I gotta register. So I’ll do it soon,” he mentioned. 

Luka Doncic does not have the time to graze his way around the NFT trading platform, but his team owner Mark Cuban has been an avid follower of Top Shot ever since it gained attention in the market.
