Autograph, a Tom Brady-backed NFT company, announced on Friday it has signed a multi-year deal with Devin Booker, a three-time NBA all star, and James Harden, a 10-time NBA all star and 2018 league MVP.
Here is Autograph’s tweet for the 25-year-old Booker, who is the leader for the Phoenix Suns.
Several hours after that tweet, Autograph touted the partnership with Philadelphia 76ers’ guard Harden along with collection details. As for the collection, Autograph will release two types of NFTs in the Way of the Beard Series: 1) celebrating Harden’s success as a pro 2) his journey in the 2022 playoffs. Both NFTs will be released Saturday, April 16 with ending times varying for each one.
Like the Golden State Warriors’ NFTs, Harden’s playoff NFTs will adapt depending on how well he and the 76ers do on their playoff run. They open up at home against the Toronto Raptors.
Here is a look at the details for the Way of the Beard Collection.
Of course, the NFL’s greatest player and co-founder of Autograph, Brady quote tweeted the announcement saying: “Let’s go Book! Just in time for a playoff run.”
Brady is certainly right. Booker is ready to embark on another playoff run, looking to avenge himself and his team after losing in the NBA finals last year against the Milwaukee Bucks, making this a great time to pair up with Autograph.
The Phoenix Suns shooting guard, Booker, and Autograph will be looking to introduce several NFT collections and experiences under the new partnership. Not only is Booker an outstanding player, but he is the leader for the Suns who had the best regular season record going into the playoffs.
This isn’t the first time the Brady-backed NFT company has partnered with great athletes. They are also partnered with Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and singer-songwriter the Weeknd.
Autograph was founded in July, 2021 and raised $170 million in a series B funding round in January of this year. Venture capital firms A16z and Kleiner Perkins lead the way.
The Los Angeles-based company is committed to helping celebrities in sports and popular culture navigate the ever-evolving digital world to sell their very own NFTs.
