The 2020-21 season finals are in full swing, and the news off the court is also very exciting.
Can you imagine how much a player card can be sold for? A Curry rookie card set a transaction record. The ratings of G1 of the finals are released, which has increased significantly compared to last season. Harden ran into trouble during his trip to Paris Fashion Week.
In recent years, the value of NBA player cards has skyrocketed. Star cards produced by Panini, Fleer, Topps and other companies have continued to set transaction records at auction houses such as Goldin's.
A year ago, the record for the highest transaction price for an NBA rookie card was US$738,000, set by the 1986 Jordan rookie card. As a result, after this, the value of rookie cards continued to hit new highs.
According to NBC Sports, a 2009 rookie card produced by Fleer Company belonging to Warriors star Stephen Curry sold for a whopping $5.9 million! In one fell swoop, it broke the previous transaction record of 5.2 million set by James rookie card.
Ah Fei couldn’t help but sigh, what kind of family is this? Can you spend $5.9 million on a card? The world of rich people is really unimaginable. Is it too late to start investing in Cunningham’s rookie cards?
The NBA officially announced the ratings data for the first game of the Finals. The number of online viewers of G1 reached 8.56 million US dollars, an increase of 13% from the G1 of the Finals between the Lakers and Heat last season.
Experts pointed out that this is related to the fact that the playoffs last season were played in the Orlando park. There is no distinction between home and away games, the fans' sense of participation is weak, and the atmosphere will naturally be poor. Therefore, many people have criticized it for not having enough gold content.
G1's viewing data also gave the league a shot in the arm. Previously, the outside world was worried that the Suns and Bucks joining hands to advance to the finals would create a "disaster" for the NBA Finals ratings. Data show that Milwaukee's local ratings share was 23.9, a new high since 2001; Phoenix's local ratings share was 23.7, a new high since 2000. Fans in both places have made huge contributions.
In addition, according to NBA official platform video playback statistics, the number of video playback times of the Finals G1 has reached 55 million, an increase of 73% compared to the first game in 2019. Another exciting figure. Obviously, two teams that have not won a championship in 50 years can stimulate everyone's desire to watch football. With the new king on the throne, which side do you prefer?
James Harden began his colorful offseason life after the Nets were eliminated. It was previously revealed that the bearded man in a white suit was very uncomfortable during a carnival party with his friends at a nightclub.
However, Harden, who attended Paris Fashion Week, ran into trouble again. My companion who was traveling with me was arrested by the police for illegally carrying 20g of marijuana. Harden was searched but not restrained.
Reminiscent of Harden's previous trip to China when he was stopped by the police while riding a donkey without a helmet, I have to lament that Harden was really able to survive during the offseason.
As one of the Nets' Big Three, his performance in the playoffs is really hard to describe. I originally thought that after recovering from his hamstring injury in the offseason, the bearded man would realize his shame and become brave again. Unexpectedly, he is still the same young man who unleashed his playful nature without any change. I don’t know what my eldest brother Durant, who is sweating like rain at the U.S. men’s basketball training camp on the other side of the ocean, feels.
