2020 Zion Williamson NBA Top Shot Rookie Debut (Series 1) - #1/192. (Update: Link to this Top Shot has been added to the end of this listing)

It's an exciting new frontier in the sports collectibles marketplace, so new, in fact, that we suspect many of you will be informed of its very existence by this auction listing. But this league-sanctioned product called "NBA Top Shots" has already built up a global following in the early months of its launch, the result being a booming market that is seeing top media from Forbes to Fortune heralding its rise.

The item itself is entirely virtual, exchanged through a blockchain format similar to Bitcoin in that regard but different in the sense that the traded components are valued according to their specific contents and rarity thereof. This product is effective ownership of a particular NBA play, with lower serial numbered examples considered more valuable than those with higher numbers.

The offered NBA Top Shot represents a thunderous block from the first selection in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion Williamson. The mammoth power forward from Coach K's famed Duke Blue Devils sends a shot from Denver Nuggets guard Malik Beasley twenty rows into the stands on January 24, 2020.

Beyond the supreme significance of Williamson as the most-watched rookie of the 2019-20 season, and the compelling footage that perfectly showcases the size and power he brings to the game, this particular offering's status as number 1 in a limited edition of 192 elevates it to the pinnacle of desirability. Let's also recall that Williamson wears the number 1 on his Pelicans jersey, another cherry on top.

Part sports collectible, part currency, the NBA Top Shot is undeniably a significant departure from the sports collectible norm, but it's no contradiction to celebrate the past while we look to the future. A link to the Top Shot will be available at our online listing.
