A collection of rare and unseen photos featuring basketball legend Kobe Bryant is scheduled to be auctioned in non-fungible tokens (NFT).
Dubbed as “Kobe,” the collection consists of eight photos of the late Bryant, all taken in 1999 when the “Black Mamba” was only 21 years old and had served only three years in the NBA. Later, he would still spend another 17 years in the North American basketball league, all in the Los Angeles Lakers, until his retirement in 2016.
The photographs will be auctioned on the crypto collectible marketplace Cryptograph as NFTs. In turn, the raised amount will go to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, a non-governmental organization that develops sports-related programs for underfunded communities.
