What makes a Top Shots moment valuable? (Part II) (clone)
Introduction
NBA Top Shot
NBA Top Shot is an NFT marketplace where sports fans can buy, sell and trade basketball video clips. Launched in 2020, NBA Top Shot is a partnership between the NBA and Dapper Labs, the creators of CryptoKitties. High-profile investors include the NBA legends Michael Jordan, Kevin Durrant and Klay Thompson.
The platform is run using Dapper Labs’s Flow blockchain, and gives users the ability to trade digital assets based on video clips from NBA games.
What Are NBA Top Shot Moments?
Moments are the video highlight clips sold as NFTs on NBA Top Shot. Much like conventional sports trading cards, Moments increase value based on their rarity. The rarer the video clip, the higher its potential value as a collectible.
On its surface, a Moment is simply a video clip of a specific play — a LeBron James dunk or Steph Curry layup, for example. So why would anyone pay money for video highlights they can watch for free on YouTube? Link
Method
In this dashboard I tried to track sales metrics of the impacted player values during the NBA offseason. for this purpose I gave the impacted player by this addresses. and separate players who impacted by offseason effects.
I used flow.core.ez_nft_sales and flow.core.dim_topshot_metadata tables to find and evaluate sales metrics.
As of aforementioned address, there were 25 players that impacted by offseason consequences and I track their sales price and count of sales transactions and unique buyers and sellers over the past 6 month, too.
The following piece of aforementioned address shows an offseason news for a player and their team, and the current dashboard has initiated for Kevin Durant, but you can change players and timeframe by your own choice.
KD's best pump-fake yet
The biggest news of the summer was that Brooklyn Nets superstar and prolific Twitter conversationalist Kevin Durant issued a trade demand, and the arms race was on to see which team could pony up the best offer. Turns out franchises weren't exactly willing to meet the Nets' outlandish demand of 10 All-Stars, 43 unprotected first-round picks, 22 pick swaps and a lifetime supply of Buffalo Wild Wings. [Link]

The NBA offseason is a season unto itself, with drama, trade rumors, blockbuster moves, and more. Just this year, we saw the Utah Jazz send out two franchise cornerstones in Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, rumors swirled around the future of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn, and more.
\n
How have these rumors and moves impacted player values during the NBA offseason? Do players or teams who are featured heavily in trades, free agent signings, or other news see increases or decreases in sale prices?
