Review on NBA Top Shot by Pedro O. Alvino M.
Official NBA game based on the blockchain
In partnership with the NBA and NBPA, Dapper Labs develops a basketball game that is connected to the blockchain, in which the player will have the possibility to obtain cards of played or key moments of basketball games from players, which will help them to win game, in addition to being able to exchange those cards with other players.
Developed under the Flow blockchain, which has much greater scalability and speed, compared to Ethereum that was mainly going to be connected to this chain, but given the result that occurred in CryptoKitties, this chain was implemented that is developed by Dapper Labs.
Even in development, it can have an impact on the market, since it will be an official NBA game that also has blockchain functions, but in terms of the dynamics of the game, it is limited because a large part of the plays are programmed and these are not developed by the player himself
Pros

- Allows the exchange of plays and key moments of the matches with other players
- Game developer by Dapper Labs company, creator of CryptoKitties
- Based on a chain of Flow blocks.
Cons
