@tadtweets @CandyDigital Wow! Congratulations!

@fasteddiegloor @NBATopShot Oh I have plenty 🫡

👀 On Friday I doubled down on my commitment to digital collectibles by agreeing to acquire most of the assets of @CandyDigital (Candy.io). When the transaction closes in a week or two, I will also serve as CEO. 💪 My view is that the sustained value of digital collectibles of all kinds requires transparency, security, liquidity, scarcity, and desirability. Candy.io intends to provide all five of those benefits for past and future fans. Agentic and #AI commerce will cause velocity and value to soar where crypto rails make transactions easy and clear digital ownership and rock solid authenticity exist. 🔥 Candy.io will operate by a few simple values on my watch: the Golden Rule for all involved; respect for licensor brands and artists; relentless focus on fan experience; frequent communication often from me.💪 My email address is tad.smith@candy.io for those who want to reach me directly. Please follow @CandyDigital as well for more communication. Our site has been in maintenance mode — frustrating (I know!) — but our many fans are about to have their patience rewarded.🙏 More details on the platform, relaunch, and some dazzling new collectibles and #NFTs you can’t get anywhere else are coming as soon as we close the deal. 👍 We’re not starting over on Candy.io. We’re picking up something extraordinary and making it better. 📈🔥🚀‼️ Please join me to write the next chapter of Candy.io. 🫡

SGA says you’re doing something right when fans start to hate you. “Everybody in the history of the NBA has an arc where everyone loves them, and then everyone hates them. LeBron James was hated, and look what he’s done for the game? It’s part of the game. I love it. It’s stuff I dreamed about as a kid.” (Via si.com/nba/shai-gilge…)

People around the league believe that the Bucks missed their window to get peak value for Giannis, per @ramonashelburne NBA exec: "He's still a game changer, but he's 31 with a history of leg injuries. And now you'd basically be trading for a guy on an expiring deal, so I'm not sure the offers they'll get this summer are going to be better than what they already got."
