The person who bought this from me has over 4000 of these things and an approximate account value of over $2.2 million. Who are these people?!

Laugh all you want fellas but I am planning to retire on my $9 investment in a Jayson Tatum jump shot and 2 Hamidou Diallo dunks.

instead of watching sportscenter I can just watch my moments collection over and over.

As far as I'm concerned, Hamidou Diallo is the greatest player of all time and Jayson Tatum is exactly half as good.

no other players exist except for some vague concept of "Detroit Pistons" and "New York Knicks" whose only purpose is to weakly defend against Hamidou Diallo and Jayson Tatum.

That's the crazy thing... None of the moments are actually cool or interesting. I get that the way this price inflation works is that the content of the moment doesn't actually matter, but in a fair universe the most expensive cards would be AI hitting that moonshot over Dwight, Ron Artest punching a fan in the face, and the Lebron block.

I have noticed that a fairly large number of the accounts buying random clips by less than famous players for thousands of dollars each have just that 1 clip in their accounts.

This, of course, assumes that more people keep pouring in. How many more weeks does this thing have? Who knows. I don't think anyone believes that these reflect any sort of reasonable price.

Like every other modern investment it's being pushed by blind confidence. I know personally of several people who have learned about this thing and already lost interest because they have made it so hard to buy packs. I'd be interested in seeing how many sales of single moments are coming from money already in the system versus new money... Of course if we knew that we could also probably guess when this will collapse.

Well according to them you can apply for a withdrawal to a US bank account or transfer to Ethereum cyber monies. I suggest not investing any more than a few $ for a pack and see what you can do from there.

And there are some cool highlights! The LeBron 3 where he turns around is hilarious.

If you’re a gentleman or lady of refined taste like me, and I assume you are, you can’t get enough Steven Adams content. I highly recommend listening to his interview on JJ Redick’s podcast, The Old Man and the Three.

JJ: ...the spiritual or emotional leader [on that Thunder team], it was Russ, right? Or Nick Collison?

SA: I think so - [laughs] no not ol Nick, ol mate is just in the background picking up the scraps like “come on guys!” He’s the ambulance mate.

Yeah. If you're a hardcore fan it sucks but realistically more people are going to watch big market teams, not a lot you can do about it.

Jazz also have the easiest second half schedule (after having one of the five hardest in the first half) so fewer chances for marquee matchups I guess, if you want to be generous

There was soooooo much hype with LeBron that I think he would still go first, but then again if I remember correctly Houston was slightly going against the grain by picking Yao at 1 so maybe they big brain themselves into skipping LeBron too and he ends up a Bull.

There's already precedent for Houston opting for a safe "very good big man" pick over the slightly riskier "probably-great wing who would end up being an all-timer."

Calling Yao and Hakeem "very good" is underselling them both by a lot
