In partnership with Dapper Labs’ NBA Top Shot, the NBA has announced 31 All-Star VIP Pass NFTs, all offering real-world utility and access for basketball fans.

ㅤㅤ

Starting February 23rd, 30 of these 1/1 NFTs, each representing an NBA team, will be auctioned off on the NBA Top Shot marketplace. The auction winners will be granted access to the next five annual NBA All-Star events, beginning next year in Salt Lake City.

ㅤㅤ

“Going into this year’s All-Star, we really wanted to do something special for the NBA’s 75th anniversary and partnered closely with the NBA to lean into this exciting and innovative idea,” said Juan de Jesus, VP of NBA Top Shot Partnerships. “We are excited about this launch and to continue building the future of fandom with the NBA.”

ㅤㅤ

The remaining NFT, representing the NBA logo, will be gifted to one lucky fan through a giveaway. From now until February 21st, fans in the US and Canada can enter the giveaway for free with an existing or new NBA Top Shot account.

ㅤㅤ

For the 2023 event, pass holders will be given two lower-bowl tickets to the All-Star Game, an exclusive tour of the arena, a shootaround with an unnamed NBA legend, a merchandise bag including an All-Star jersey, and many other physical and virtual benefits.
