“The True GOAT” – NBA Star Kevin Durant Applauds Shohei Ohtani’s New Big Milestone In NFT Market
Follow Us
The NFT market has been booming recently. So much so, that a ton of baseball cards have already captured the market and sold for record amounts. And athletes are up taking notice too. Not just limited to their own sport anymore, in fact, many athletes are noticing these trends to apply to their own NFTS. And Kevin Durant is one of them. Recently reacting to a sale of a Shohei Ohtani 1-of-1 card, Durant called Othani the GOAT.
The LA Angel has a season of seasons in 2021, delivering the first truly 2 way player season since Babe Ruth in 2021. And with the recognition of a season of the caliber of the GOAT comes the expectations with that tag. Ohtani has endeared himself to the Anaheim faithful, with a truly astounding season in 2021, his Angels still failed to make the playoffs, and if that is to improve in 2022, his performances will have to continue. His value, however, is a different matter altogether. And that’s all that counts when you speak about the sale of his NFTs.

Ohtani fever has taken the league by storm after his killer 2021 season. A season that saw him not only score 46 home runs and lead the MLB in triples but also pitch a 9-2 record while boasting a 3.18 ERA with 156 strikeouts and 44 walks.
