What makes a Top Shots moment valuable? (Part II)
Introduction
-
In this dashboard, You will Read about NBA Top Shots especially Play Type NFTs. I went through this category and analyzed these parameters:
-
Sales
-
Buyers and Sellers
-
Total Sales Volume/Average Volume
-
Users Breakdown
-
Holders Vs. Non Holders
-
NFT prices
Analyzed by Hess - Reading Time Almost 10 Min.
Method
- First, I extracted NFT ids and Play types from flow.core.dim_topshot_metadata table. Then, I joined my findings into the NFT sales table on Flow. Sales recorded with two currencies. Dapp Utility which is like USDC and Flow Token. Fortunately, We have a Price table on the Flow chain. I extracted the Flow price and calculate the sales volume in USD.

Full Analysis
Sales Volume
- Like the number of sales, The sales volume per play Type didn’t change too much. I mean there wasn’t any play type that increased for a short time or grew long-term. All of them kept their growth in sales. I can see only During April, Block and Mid-range sales volume increased in comparison to others. With a huge difference, Rim has the highest sales volume.
ALL CODES AND CONTENTS WERE WRITTEN BY HESS.


- Between April and May, The total number of buyers and sellers increased significantly and after that dropped over time. Like the transactions, Rim, 3 Pointer and Assist had the highest number of buyers and sellers. What is different is Block and Midrange sales increased during that time.
- Rim has the highest sales share. About 50% of transactions were related to the Rim play type. 3 Pointer with a huge difference with Rim and 13% is in the second place.
- Dunk and Reel have the highest average sales in USD. However, Those play types didn’t have too many sales but the average sales was higher than other types.
Based on Max weekly sales, Dunk and 2 Pointer are in top play types. In other parameters, Rim, 3 Pointer and Assist were in the Top 3. I can’t see 3 Pointer and Assist in this category but Rim is.
