🔹 The eight winners of the NBA Top Shot Draft Experience were announced this weekend via live stream. Shout out to OG whale and The First Mint community member @Libruary for making the cut! The lucky eight will be treated to a sweet trip to NYC for the NBA Draft on Thursday, including flight & accommodations, a VIP dinner with draftees, and more.
Between these exciting experiences and the Quavo partnership, it has been a nice little stretch for Top Shot in terms of outside-the-box rewards!
