The unique digital masterpieces in the upcoming Harlem Globetrotter Snoop Dogg NFT drop were designed by the visionaries at Impossible Brief, art leaders in the NFT space and the creators behind Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes’ debut “Museum of Mahomes” collection which sold for $3.7 million in March of this year. In addition to a jewel-encrusted helmet and football which minted at $15,000 each, the NFL star’s collection included his rarest digital work, Mahomes Magic, a digital depiction of the quarterback’s no-look pass that sold for triple its initial mint price.
