How to Invest in Basketball Cards: A Beginner’s Guide
Introduction In no small part due to the covid-19 pandemic, the trading card hobby has boomed over the past year. In February 2021, a Luka Doncic rookie card sold for $4.6 million, then the highest price ever fetched for a basketball card. Just two months later, a LeBron James rookie card snatched the crown away (as the King rightfully should) in a historic $5.2 million sale.

NBA's floor is not ordinary
On the last day of 2015, the Lakers visited the Celtics. Kobe's career in the last visit to Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, the first time this season to take the "two double", a victory against the archrival, for Kobe is also considered a perfect ending. Before the game, Kobe also accepted a special gift from the Celtics: a piece of North Shore Garden home floor. On the decorated floor is also engraved with a small line: "In memory of your countless legendary performances on this floor - both enemies and friends of the Celtics."

The NBA Play-In Tournament: Reigniting Interest in the Regular Season
When it was announced that the NBA would be implementing the play-in tournament that was used last year to determine the standings heading into the playoffs, I figured that it wouldn’t raise too many eyebrows – they used it in the bubble and it worked out pretty well, so I saw no reason for people to criticize its use. However, as the tournament drew nearer, the criticism surrounding it grew in intensity, with some players and coaches speaking out against it and sparking discussions all around the NBA community as to whether it was a good idea. My two cents? I feel that the play-in tournament is a great idea that will change the way that people look at the NBA.
