Who will be the primary ball handler for Portland 🤔

Bijan goes 3rd in an NFL open draft: 1. Mahomes 2. Allen 3. Bijan 4. ?

Cooper Flagg PSA 10 rookie prices.

Jesus

Bijan Robinson on Kevin Stefanski’s halftime speech last week: “It was like Martin Luther King was in there.”

$8m for a Cooper Flagg card is insane. You could buy one of every NBA Top Shot moment for less than that

8M dollars lol

The Packers D line getting blown off the ball every play for 4 straight quarters is not an easy fix they’re fucked this season

Penix and Stefanski putting this Packer d in a trick bag damn

TLDR: With all the recent scamming going on in physical cards, it’s becoming nearly impossible to ignore the clear advantages of digital collectibles. Let me start by saying I still actively collect physical cards. I enjoy the tangible aspect of holding a card, just like most collectors do. But the better AI and technology get, the more challenging the physical card world becomes. Printers and AI are making counterfeit cards increasingly difficult to identify. Logistics are clearly flawed in such a fast-paced collecting environment. Third-party companies are coming at you from every angle, taking a piece of nearly every transaction. Almost every aspect of physical collecting comes with time constraints, security concerns, authenticity issues, logistical hurdles, storage problems, and a ton of wasted money for the collector. Digital solves nearly all of this immediately. Want to sell a card? A couple clicks to list it. A couple more to accept an offer. A couple more to withdraw. From pack purchase to rip to sale, the entire process can happen in seconds or minutes, with the asset instantly in your wallet—and potentially in your bank account or crypto wallet by the end of the day or next day at the latest. Eventually, the argument for physically holding a card may become the only major advantage left. And the question becomes: how many more obstacles and problems do we need to see in the physical space before that benefit carries less weight? Then there’s storage. I have thousands and thousands of physical cards sitting in storage that I couldn’t even tell you I own. Ironically, the best cards I own are often the ones I already have screenshots of on my phone or organized in a digital app. If you’re a collector, digital collectibles can allow you to spend less while collecting more. You have a better way to organize and access your collection, and your ability to flex your cards doesn’t change—you’re still showing people what you own, just digitally. You can also eliminate grading inconsistencies, reduce transaction costs, and keep more of the money in your pocket. For rippers, you eliminate the need to wait for boxes or packs to arrive. For breakers, you can eliminate shipping costs, delays, platform gimmicks, and a lot of the logistical headaches that come with physical products. For flippers and card movers, you eliminate many of the mistakes and friction points associated with selling. No lost cards. No 15–20% selling fees. No physical storage. No shipping headaches. The digital collectible space can make sense for almost every type of participant in the hobby. I’ve been bullish on digital sports collectibles for years. And while adoption may be slower than some expected, I have a hard time seeing a future where the hobby doesn’t continue moving increasingly toward digital. Physical cards aren’t going away. But the more technology advances, the harder it becomes to ignore what digital collectibles can solve.

Aaron Gordon is underrated. He can play bully ball like this moment, or space you out and shoot 40% 3PT.

I think this is the singular biggest improvement they can make.

a +EV drop on TS? how long has it been?

These WNBA Top Shot boxes dropped yesterday for $199 and are liquid at $350+ on the secondary market. Good work @NBATopShot

nah that’s crazyyy

I agree with these too. Especially set collecting, and tiers. And yeah- I like your take on Fastbreak too- bigger or none actually makes a lot of sense.
