2014 Giannis Antetokounmpo NBA Top Shot (Series 1) Run It Back - Layup #64/275 When we see him dominate on a nightly basis with a broad smile on his face it's easy to forget a time before Giannis was the league's biggest stud. Here we see a NBA Top Shot that is a throwback to that time, when a decidedly less- muscled version of the Greek Freak burst to the hoop for a graceful reverse layup. But before he arrived at the cup, a little razzle dazzle. A tragic mistake to pressure Giannis, not respecting his ability to drive to the hole. And that's a mistake that J.R. Smith made here against a still unproven Antetokuomnpo, the defender ending up on his back as a result.

You have most likely have heard about the craze being caused by the cryptocurrency space and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in the news lately. Here is a chance to secure one of the hobby's most-heralded pieces, something of the utmost rarity. From NBA Top Shot's Series 1 released in 2020, the "Run It Back" set was a chance for collectors to get moments from the 2013-14 season, Giannis' rookie year. It does also include the "Rookie Year" badge, some visual flair assigned by Top Shot to signify the platform's more significant Moments. One of 40 cards that make up this set, the Giannis Moment we offer here is #64 of only 250 that will ever be minted.

The item itself is entirely virtual, exchanged through a blockchain format similar to Bitcoin, but different in that the traded components are valued according to their specific contents and rarity. Each moment is effective ownership of a particular play from a hardwood hero, with lower serial numbered examples more valuable than those with higher numbers. This Series 1 Run It Back Set Moment is a closed set with no further Moments to be minted. Grace. Power. Speed. This rookie year collectible shows glimmers of just how dominant the MVP-to-be's reign over the NBA would be. A superb opportunity to own a baby-faced Moment from a sure-fire all-time legend.
