NBA star Kevin Durant will partner with Dapper Labs for an NFT collection

Dapper Labs, the creator of the popular NFT platform dedicated to collectible basketball, NBA Top Shot, said he has struck a two-year agreement with the great Kevin Durant, who will play a creative development role to curate the NFT NBA Top Shot Moments collection and video content.

Boardroom said the partnership will bring giveaways, spotlight on key moments, fan-to-fan trading and behind-the-scenes video content. Durant is one of many NBA stars, including Michael Jordan, who invested in a big funding round for Dapper in March.

“From the moment we met Kevin and the co-founder of Thirty Five Ventures , Rich Klein, it was clear that we shared a passion for bringing fans like never before and in the most epic ways to their favorite athletes, ”said Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs. "As Kevin Durant continues to put his stamp on game-changing moments, we are able to offer fans access to him in entirely new ways and cement NBA Top Shot's place at the center of the fan experience."
