I won’t pretend to fully understand the emergence of NFT’s (Non-Fungible Tokens) as a form of cryptocurrency, except to say that it has created a booming industry that the NBA Top Shot online marketplace is reaping the rewards of. Who knew there was such demand for owning Toronto Raptors social media posts and YouTube videos?

The potential to own a serialized moment of Raptors history has been appealing for many given the insane amount of virtual cash that has been thrown around this virtual marketplace. Surely, some moments have to rank as the most prized and treasured collectibles in Raptors history?
