In looking at Moments on NBA Top Shot, you may be noticing some weird icons on some. “What the hell are these,” you ask? Well, these icons are explained within Top Shot, but essentially, they mark particular moments as “special” ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And like with regular trading cards, special typically means they are more valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, the badges are based mostly around rookie moments, but that is not to say that more will not be added along the way. For now, there are 5 special designations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This badge signifies that the moment itself was from the subject player\u2019s rookie season. In other words, the play shown in the moment happened when that player was a rookie.\u200d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This badge is pretty rare too as it’s specific. It signifies that the moment is from a player\u2019s first regular-season matchup<\/em>. It’s kind of confusing, but luckily you won’t see it without the Rookie Badge too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This badge is different from the Rookie Year badge in that it signifies that the specific play<\/em> featured was minted at some point during the subject player\u2019s rookie season. For more on what minting is, check out my guide on it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This badge is a combination of the 3 rookie badges above. The Three-Star, therefore, is a super rare badge that only currently exists for a couple of dozen players. They are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\nRookie Premiere Badge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
