Dapper Labs also partnered with other sports organizations to bring fans NFTs and they are behind the famous NBA Top Shot NFT collection and they also have partnered with the NFL. The NFT market is becoming quite big in the past year and it is only continuing to grow as it grows mainstream. While the trading volume is far from its all-time high, it is still at a healthy value as the charts show.
