Topshot and FLOW during the NBA Playoffs
An analysis of NBA Playoffs' 2023 impact on the TopShot NFT sales and Flow blockchain's activity.
This Dashboard provides an in-depth analysis of the NBA TopShot NFT collection and marketplace during the first few rounds of the NBA Playoffs 2023, with a focus on how the competitions have impacted them on the Flow blockchain. In addition, the dashboard examines the broader impact of the playoffs on the entire Flow blockchain.
The dashboard covers two distinct timeframes: before and after the beginning of the NBA Playoffs on April 15th, 2023. The pre-playoff period spans from April 1st, 2023 to April 15th, 2023, while the post-playoff period runs from April 15th, 2023 till today.
Through this analysis, the dashboard will help to identify whether the NBA Playoffs have had a positive, negative, or neutral impact on the Flow blockchain and its TopShot NFT ecosystem.
To provide context for the analysis, let's briefly define some key terms:

Flow Blockchain
Flow is a next-generation blockchain designed for high-performance, decentralized applications. One of the most popular and successful applications built on the Flow blockchain is NBA TopShot.
NBA TopShot
NBA TopShot is a digital collectibles platform built on the Flow blockchain that allows fans to own and trade officially licensed NBA highlights as NFTs. TopShot represents specific moments from NBA games, such as a game-winning shot or a spectacular dunk, and is verified on the Flow blockchain to ensure authenticity and scarcity. The NFTs are sold in limited quantities through "pack drops," which are similar to a digital version of a trading card pack.
NBA Playoffs
The NBA Playoffs is a post-season tournament featuring the top teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA) competing for the championship title. The playoffs typically start in late April and run through June, with a total of 16 teams (8 from each conference) qualifying for the tournament based on their regular season record. The playoffs consist of four rounds, with each round being a best-of-seven series. The final round, known as the NBA Finals, is played between the winners of the Eastern and Western Conferences to determine the NBA champion for that season. The NBA Playoffs is one of the most highly anticipated events in professional sports and attracts millions of viewers from around the world.
