Top Shot Collectors' Lounge: Recent Episodes
Will Manso & Adam Smoot
A podcast that focuses more on the collection aspect of NBA TopShot than the stock market aspect. Come in, grab a seat on the couch, light up a cigar. Welcome to The Collectors' Lounge!
It's been a long and grueling four months and lot has happened in NBA Top Shot since the boys last sat in front of a mic.

Will and Smoot, each back with their own newfound perspective on Top Shot, break it all down and also tell you where the hell they've been this whole time.

No marketing during the NBA Playoffs? It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for em (hint: it did not). New useless badges, though! Are Top Shot's problems even fixable? Does the average user care about crypto-focused utility? Why did John Collins get TWO playoff challenge rewards? Why did Roham unfollow Smoot?

After two weeks of NBA Top Shot maybe starting to figure it out, the market took a nose dive again and we're back to wondering... can it get any worse? Is it concerning that they just hired a new GM? Yes and yes! But that hasn't stopped us from having some fun. Will's chasing Metallic Golds. Smoot's chasing Green Gherkins. Cats, dogs, living together. It's all-out mayhem inside the Top Shot Collectors Lounge. Follow the show on Twitter at @TopShotLounge and our personal accounts at @willmanso and @adamsmoot.
Smoot's relationship with NBA Top Shot is at an all-time low. Will's is at an all-time high. Can Will convince Smoot to stick it out or will Smoot sell all of his moments overnight and ride off into the sunset? Has Top Shot finally figured things out? Will the marketplace rise from the ashes like the phoenix? Will there even be a podcast next week? Listen and find out!
