Furthermore, the NBA superstar and the renowned sportswear brand are rumored to have plans to release new editions later this year, which is sure to delight fans.

Gutter Cat Gang is an exciting NFT project featuring a captivating collection of 3,000 unique feline characters.

It is worth noting that Ball is no stranger to the world of NFTs, having launched LaMelo Collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain in June 2021. This collection of artwork includes floating figurine models of LeMelo Ball himself in outer space, transporting collectors to a unique experience. These tokens not only possess aesthetic value, but also provide their owners with access to a number of exclusive benefits. Ball's second collection of NFTs was launched in February 2022, cementing its position as a pioneer in the basketball and digital art industry.
