Featuring Summer League Hype, Top Shot Kiosk, New Dapper Project, Market Movers and More

Good Morning, NBA Top Shot Summer Squad! Happy Tuesday β€” hope you all had an excellent weekend!

I enjoyed watching some Olympic + Summer League action over the past few days, and am already getting antsy for the 2021-22 NBA season. As a Bulls fan, we finally have some HOPE! Plus I get to use Lavar Ball GIFs at will now that Lonzo is heading to Chicago!

Let’s get into all the action from the last few days:

Quick Hits πŸ‘Š

πŸ”ΉThe Summer Series has begun. The Las Vegas Summer League experience is underway this week, and fans in attendance were able to visit the in-arena Top Shot kiosk to purchase the first moment in the set β€” a Killian Hayes assist:

7:21 PM - 9 Aug 2021

This was also our first taste of the dynamic mint, with a total of 2776 Hayes moments being distributed.

πŸ”ΉSpeaking of the Top Shot Kiosk… Damn, that thing looks nice. Kudos to the team for a beautiful in-arena activation, which is sure to catch the eye of those unfamiliar with the platform. Behold:

πŸ”ΉIs a new Dapper launch on the way? We know that a partnership with the UFC is coming, but there has been no official timetable for a launch. An interesting word change to the order emails (H/T @FaronLE) could mean we’re getting closer:

Faron

@FaronLE

New @dapperlabs product launch imminent?
I noticed the wording has changed in the order confirmation emails to indicate it is a 'Top Shot' order... πŸ€”

And don’t forget β€”Β the additional perks for the Nine Lives Lounge included this spicy tidbit:

This group of collectors will be considered forΒ early access to a variety of future projects from Dapper Labs.

Editor’s note: Although UFC would be cool, it has been confirmed that the next Dapper Labs project will be Genies marketplace. But hey you never know…

Something is brewing in @nbatopshot and it’s been long overdue to dive into it…

Around The First Mint πŸ—£

🎧 The Market Returns πŸ“ˆ

The market is UP on NBA Top Shot. Through a series of very positive events and healthy conditions, buyers are returning to the platform and many premium moments have started to rise in value over the last week. But can these conditions sustain? We dive into what’s causing the market surge and also look at the positive effects of the Cool Cats benefits announcement. Then we dive into the Vegas Summer League β€œkiosk”, and what that could mean for the future of fan interactions with Top Shot.Β
