LeBron James' NBA Top Shot card records highest all-time sale on marketplace
LeBron James has recorded another milestone on NBA Top Shot with his 2020 Finals card recording the highest sale ever on the platform's marketplace.
James has already been lording it over the NBA collectibles market for some time now. With one of his Top Shot cards now being sold at the incredible price of $230,023.00, the LA Lakers forward is seemingly on top in the digital collectibles market as well.
NBA Top Shot, a blockchain-based platform that showcases video highlights of the best players in the game, gives fans the opportunity to collect "moments" from actual games. It allows collectors to buy, sell and trade officially-licensed video highlights through their official website.
The record-breaking LeBron James moment sold on NBA Top Shot was from Game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals. The video highlight shows former LA Lakers guard Alex Caruso passing the ball to James, who attacked the basket and slammed the ball home with panache and style.
The game was a crucial one that gave the LA Lakers the 2020 title and the franchise’s 17th championship. They are tied with the Boston Celtics, who also have 17 titles, for the all-time team record. It also marked LeBron James’ fourth NBA title.
