Never-Before-Seen Photos Of Kobe Bryant To Be Auctioned As NFTs

(Los Angeles, CA) — A blockchain company is finding another way to honor the late Kobe Bryant. Cryptograph, a digital collectibles enterprise, is auctioning off a series of eight never-before-seen photographs of Bryant as non-fungible tokens, or NFT’s. Co-founder of the company Tommy Alastra says “NFT’s can eternalize and immortalize.” The black and white images feature “The Black Mamba” during a magazine shoot at an abandoned warehouse in downtown Los Angeles in 1999. According to Alastra, all proceeds of the sales from the “KOBE” collection of NFTs will go to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. The NFT’s were put up for auction at 10 a.m. Pacific Time Tuesday and will be available for bidding on Cryptograph’s website for 72 hours.
