Owning an NBA players trading card is cool piece of memorabilia.

Now imagine that card became the reason you were randomly selected to go see game 5 of the NBA Finals.

This year, 8 NBA Top Shot fans and their guests were selected to have a once in a lifetime experience and will be flown out to Game 5 of the NBA finals.

All. Expenses. Paid. 💸

NBA Top Shot showcasing exactly how blockchain can improve fandom. And in a larger sense, showing the tip of the utility iceberg that NFT's provide.

The winners may have a technical understanding of blockchain, they might not have the first clue. If the crypto space hopes to grow, it is imperative to showcase the improvement to our real-life experiences that blockchain provides. The future is now. Utility is now. The time is now.

"NBA Top Shot is the future of fandom... it's a product we built for the community"
- Roham Gharegozlou

Ben Mauro's back with some brand new art coming to Flow, exclusively on the Versus auction platform! :ocean::art:

Mark your calendars for an AMA with both Versus and Ben Mauro, June 30th, 9AM PT | 12PM ET
