Kyrie and Dillon Brooks with an epic jersey swap.
Brooks gets Kyrie’s jersey. Kyrie completely disregards Brooks handing him his jersey.
Brooks proceeds to walk around the court with 2 jerseys in hand.
The most amazing auto experience of the weekend was Shaq.
What a presence.
Shaq saw my son was in shock when he walked by and it was a bit awkward.
Shaq said “lil man, I’ll be back, hang right there.”
In many cases, players tell kids that they are going to “get them later”
Of note is when Shaq picked up my son’s ball to sign it, he saw Charles Barkley’s autograph.
As soon as he saw it, he said to my son,
“I see you got Chuck’s autograph.”
My son replied, “yes!”
Shaq replies, “Well mine is better!”
🤣
@ESPNNBA
Nothing to see here. Kuminga isn’t Melo. He’s playing with the best shooters to ever play the game. You will get your shots when the defense has zero focus on you.
Absolutely Amazing!
My son went up to Giannis and asked him for his arm sleeve after a game last year.
After the security tried to push him away, Giannis called him over and handed him the arm sleeve and patted him on the head.
My son sat down, and then he hears someone shout

Would love to see an image of MJ wearing this replica jersey during practice. The same one 8 year olds used to wear at camp during the summer of ‘92. 🤦♂️
Clarity for those doubting the questionable choice of authentication: the shoes are legit. The sneakers have been owned by Bulls PR rep Tim Hallam who received each shoe from MJ after each clinching game. I have been chasing this set for years. This is so major!
Six Air Jordans — one from each of Michael Jordan's championship-clinching games — will be on display to the public this week at the

The shoes, signed by MJ, were authenticated by Certified Sports Guaranty.

LeBron the collector!
Here is the signed (and used) racket Novak Djokovic gave to LeBron after a Laker game a few weeks ago.
Displayed at a local frame store in Los Angeles and ready for pickup!
There is a $1.75M market cap on this NFT featuring a specific LeBron highlight.
Does this data make one wonder why the jersey LeBron is wearing in this highlight is not worth the same?
Logic tells me
@NBATopShot
will start to combine the physical with the digital at some point.
I will be bidding on this aggressively.
A random piece of wood that wasn’t photomatched, attributed to the Titanic’s final scene just sold for $700,000.

Amazing footage from tonight’s event at Sotheby’s of Jerry West discussing how extensively worn items would be from his era and how game worn uniforms were “thrown in the trash” after the season.
This is a perfect explanation of why game worn items from that era are so rare.

Absolutely amazing what the game worn hobby has become! 👑
In April, it was announced that a very special piece was set for auction:
Allen Iverson’s Rookie jersey he was wearing when he crossed over Michael Jordan. 👀
My emotions were full. This was a highlight we have all seen countless times. A memory that would bring me right back
The jersey that was recently trading for $240,000 on Rally will eventually sell for Millions of dollars.
Hard to tell me fractional shouldn’t have a major seat at the table for the next generation of collectors.
The first $100 Million jersey has arrived.
I am in complete shock.
Babe Ruth jersey’s that were NOT photomatched have sold for $5M.

Authenticated Babe Ruth Called Shot jersey 😳
Tom Brady collectors are livid after they got awful autographs.
Turns out there's a lot of blame to go around.
The organizer didn't stick to the contract.
The person marketing autographs never read the contract.
This is one of the best pieces I have ever read on game worn.

Congrats to all of the Rally users who bought shares.
5 days ago I tweeted, the Shattered Backboard jersey trading at Rally was a “a joke” at $200,000.
It is up 25% since.

This is the biggest failure of an auction I have ever seen.

$920K Gretzky Buyout Offer‼️
A 15% ROI since IPO & 20.9% since Last Trade, this offer would mark one of the highest-ever sales for a hockey card in history.

Tiger Woods clubs sell for $5.2 million last week. Maradona jersey with a $6.2 million bid this week. Notice a trend? High end sports memorabilia is taking flight. ✈️
