Curry to drop “something good”
Initial announcements on the Twitter channels of Decentraland and The Sandbox were intentionally kept short, only mentioning that basketball legend Stephen Curry will drop “something good”. The announcement hinted though that there was going to be a charity event, with the goal of “bringing the joy of sports to every kid”.Â
Meanwhile, Curry himself, who donned a CryptoApe avatar on Twitter, has revealed that he is going to drop an NFT collection in cooperation with the artists Floyd Norman and Andrea McDonald. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation.
Surreal… thrilled to announce my first-ever NFT with The 2974 Collection. 2,974 pieces came to life w/ the help of two special artists, @a_mcdonald17 & @FloydNormanDoc, and a whole lot of hard work. A historic moment, all benefitting @eatlearnplay 🙌🏽💯 https://t.co/17fZfgmYdu pic.twitter.com/TjGY9lyGdi

One NFT for every 3-pointer
During the Golden State Warrior’s 105-96 win over the New York Knicks last Tuesday, Curry broke the NBA record for lifetime 3-point shots scored. He is currently on his 13th season in the NBA, having played for the Warriors throughout his career.Â
To celebrate the historic feat, Stephen Curry will release 2,974 unique NFTs, one for every 3-pointer he has made along the way to the record. The collection is set to go live today at 8 pm EST on FTX.com at a price of 499 USD each. It is still unknown what role The Sandbox and Decentraland are going to play within their partnership with Curry.Â
