San Antonio Spurs’ sensation, Victor Wembanyama, has made a significant impact in the world of basketball and NFTs. Following a remarkable six-figure non-fungible token (NFT) sale on Sorare NBA, Wembanyama has now made his debut on NBA Top Shot.
The Rookie Debut: Headliners Web Pack
Wembanyama is part of the highly anticipated Rookie Debut: Headliners Web pack, which was released for sale on NBA Top Shot. These packs, priced at $79 each, were made available at 3 pm Eastern Time (8 pm UTC) on Tuesday.
Dapper Labs, the company behind NBA Top Shot, has made a total of 2,445 packs available for purchase. This pack features a variety of exciting NBA players, including Brandon Miller, Scoot Henderson, Amen Thompson, Ausar Thompson, and Chet Holmgren.
Each pack comprises five unique NFTs that showcase video highlights from various NBA players. One of these moments includes a highlight from one of the aforementioned rookies. The demand for these packs was incredible, with NBA Top Shot announcing on Twitter just four hours after release that all the packs had been sold out.
Wembanyama’s Rising Stardom and NFT Success
Wembanyama has been garnering attention for his outstanding performances with the San Antonio Spurs. In a recent game, he amazed spectators with a remarkable 38-point performance.
Furthermore, Wembanyama’s first single-edition “Unique” digital trading card on the blockchain-based NFT game Sorare NBA fetched an impressive sum of over $110,000 in an auction. This surpassed the previous record price of $67,333 paid for his top physical trading card.
NBA Top Shot, an officially licensed NBA NFT collectibles platform on the Flow blockchain, gained widespread attention during the last bull phase in the NFT market in 2021. While sales have declined since then, Wembanyama’s debut on the platform has sparked renewed interest and excitement among NFT collectors in the sports card community.
