Episode 66 of TFM. June 23, 2021 The Donovan Mitchell Fumble Yesterday's challenge rewards for the Donovan Mitchell moment were released with some errors; older collector accounts were given many of the low serials, which prompted a response and then compensation from NBA Top Shot. But is that enough to regain trust from the Top Shot faithful? On today's show, we've got LG and Producer Quad on to give both sides of a very contentious issue. And yes, we're breaking routine here - this Wednesday's episode is NOT about other NFTs, as has been the norm. Hosted by LgDoucet. Want NBA Top Shot and other news in your inbox?
