The NBA has a new three-point shot champion, with Steph Curry setting the record last week for career three-point field goals. A non-fungible token collection from Curry will celebrate the achievement.
What Happened: A collection of 2,974 NFTs of Steph Curry are being sold by cryptocurrency and NFT company FTX. The NFTs are designed by artist Andrea McDonald.
A free bonus NFT designed by Floyd Norman, the first African-American animator and artist for Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) will be given to anyone who mints the Curry NFTs. The bonus NFT will feature either a game-winning three-pointer from Feb, 27, 2016 or a shot-clock beating three-pointer in the 2018 NBA Finals, two of Curry’s all-time favorites.
Curry is donating 100% of the profits from the NFT launch to a foundation created by Curry and his wife Ayesha named "Eat. Learn. Play."
