Giannis Antetokounmpo could be looking to add an extremely rare card featuring autographs from LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant to his collection.

Topps, which manufactures the card, noted on Instagram that the Milwaukee Bucks superstar recently commented on an IG stories post that he would offer $150,000 to purchase it.

The card features James, Curry and Durant in their Team USA jerseys from the 2024 Olympics.

Topps unveiled the one-of-one basketball card on Aug. 10, noting it’s the first card from the brand with a James autograph and the first Curry, James and Durant triple.

Clay Luraschi, senior vice president of product at Topps, spoke to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin about the significance of the card:

“This card pays tribute to the incredible moment that we saw during the Olympics where three of the greatest active basketball players combined to take home the gold medal. This particular card is special because you have your regular version and then you have an autograph version. There’s been many different autograph cards throughout basketball trading card history, but this is the first time these three players have signed the same card. So, it makes it very unique.”

James, Curry and Durant were arguably the three best players for the United States at the Paris Games. They were the top three scorers averaging a combined total of 42.8 points per game. James led the team with 8.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game. Durant shot 52.0 percent from three-point range. Curry went a combined 17-of-27 from behind the arc in the semifinals and finals.

Antetokounmpo first showed off his card collection in 2020 and doesn’t seem to be slowing down based on his apparent interest in this rare collectible item.

Given how unique the card is featuring three legends of the sport, it’s going to be interesting to see if Antetokounmpo’s price would be enough to secure it.
