- With NBA All-Star 2022 officially starting tomorrow, NBA Top Shot is showing up at Cleveland in a whole new way.
- Highlighted by on-the-ground activations at NBA Crossover, Top Shot’s bringing the future of fandom to one of the biggest weekends in sports – from Friday through Sunday.
- After dropping the first Legendary historical NBA All-Star Classics Moments on Thursday, along with the chance to win a brand-new type of VIP NBA All-Star NFT, get up to speed on what’s ahead in Cleveland … with a few surprises in store.
You can’t create the future without first honoring the past.
So before we bring the future of fandom to NBA All-Star 2022, today, we had to throw it back to 2000.
There are certain snapshots from NBA history that transcend time and place, forever etched into our memories. When Vince Carter took a bounce pass from his Toronto Raptors teammate (and cousin), Tracy McGrady, and put it through his legs for a massive dunk, mouthing “it’s over” to the camera, an instant classic was born. The dunk earned a “50,” Vince Carter was crowned the champion of the Dunk Contest, and the highlight has been played on repeat millions of times ever since.
In addition to Vince Carter’s iconic dunk, Thursday’s Standard and Elite NBA All-Star Classics pack drops brought other Legendary Moments from the 2000 Three-Point Contest, Rising Stars and All-Star Game, and new Moments from the 2021-22 season, including Metallic Gold LE Moments from Paul George and Bradley Beal, Rising Stars Moments from Anthony Edwards and Josh Giddey and a game-winning overtime jumper from Cam Thomas in his Top Shot Debut.
As the week and weekend unfolds, we’ll also have new Challenges featuring these Rising Stars, Metallic Gold LE and NBA All-Star Classics Moments, plus a series of new Flash Challenges tied to 2022 NBA All-Star events with the chance to earn new Metallic Silver FE Rewards.
That’s just what’s happening inside of NBA Top Shot. Here’s a look at what’s happening in Cleveland.
Whether you’re in town or on the other side of the globe, Top Shot will be showing up at NBA All-Star 2022 in a big way.
