Deep-rooted at the core of NBA Top Shot is topical NBA content, the action that plays out between the baselines and the memories that bring us all here in the first place.

Through four NBA seasons, we’ve explored and refined new ways to structure and define the sets that live at NBA Top Shot, all in pursuit of a dynamic library of basketball content as intuitive as it is compelling.
