Card collecting has come a long way. From physical packs and binders to digital collectibles and NFTs, the hobby has evolved alongside tech. If you’ve ever been into Pokémon cards, sports cards, or even Magic: The Gathering, chances are you’ve dabbled in the world of collectibles that feel a lot like gaming. Now with Web3, that same collecting spirit is alive and well as NBA Top Shot Moments are now officially tradable on OpenSea, giving collectors more freedom than ever to buy, sell, and show off their favorite NBA highlights.

What is NBA Top Shot?

NBA Top Shot is a digital platform by Dapper Labs that turns iconic NBA highlights (in short video formats) into collectible “Moments.” These aren’t just YouTube clips as they’re officially licensed NFTs on the Flow blockchain, meaning you can own, trade, and showcase your favorite plays just like a rare physical card. Launched in 2020, NBA Top Shot was one of the first big Web3 success stories. At its peak, Moments were selling for thousands of dollars, and the project helped bring NFTs into the mainstream.

NBA Top Shot Now Tradeable on OpenSea

Until now, NBA Top Shot Moments were only tradable within Top Shot’s own marketplace. But that’s changed. Thanks to Flow’s integration with OpenSea’s new OS2 platform, collectors can now list and trade their Moments directly on OpenSea, the biggest NFT marketplace in the world.

This opens up a lot more flexibility. You get more visibility for your listings, better liquidity, and the freedom to manage your collection outside the original platform. If you're already an NBA Top Shot collector, here’s how to move your Moments over and connect to OpenSea:

• Set up a Flow Wallet — this acts as the bridge between your Dapper account and OpenSea.
• Link your Dapper Wallet (where your Moments are currently stored) to your Flow Wallet.
• Transfer Moments from your Dapper Wallet to your Flow Wallet.
• Connect your Flow Wallet to OpenSea, and you're good to start listing and trading.

Now, if you're new to NBA Top Shot and haven’t used Dapper or Flow before, no problem. OpenSea’s OS2 system supports multichain transactions, which makes it incredibly smooth to buy Top Shot Moments even if you weren’t part of the original platform.

In other words: You can just browse the collection, pick a Moment you like, and buy it using a variety of crypto payment options across multiple blockchains. It’s now easier than ever to start collecting NBA highlights in web3 form.

Final Thoughts 

Bringing NBA Top Shot to OpenSea is more than just a marketplace expansion, as it’s a major upgrade for collectors. OpenSea offers a much wider reach, smooth UX, and flexible payment options that make trading way more accessible. Whether you’re paying with ETH on Ethereum, USDC on Avalanche, or even using a credit card through an on-ramp, the process is simple and user-friendly.

For NBA Top Shot, this move reopens the door to mainstream attention. It taps into OpenSea’s massive audience and gives new life to Moments that were previously locked into a single ecosystem. For OpenSea, it’s another win in its effort to support a broader range of NFTs , from digital art and gaming assets to officially licensed sports collectibles.

This shows that sports NFTs are here to stay. They’re no longer a side niche. They’re becoming part of a larger culture of digital ownership, one that blends collecting, gaming, and fandom. Powered by the Flow blockchain, which keeps fees low and onboarding smooth, this integration makes it easier than ever for fans to jump in and start collecting.
