By opening his NBA contract to fans as if it were a company in the stock market, Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is trying to revolutionize the NBA in a way never thought possible before. However, the league has so far rejected his proposition.

Dinwiddie took to social media to express his frustrations at the league's hesitance to let his contract become a digital investment vehicle, similar to a stock market.

“I love the NBA it is the greatest league in the world. And it is an honor to be their partner. But to put this quite simply I’m not assigning my contract and have been explicit in that when I’ve spoken to them,” Dinwiddie wrote on Twitter.

“The news tonight is disappointing because all it does is inspire #FUD in the birth of a previously unrealized asset class under the assumption that I’m breaking a rule that I’ve been clear I’m not breaking in multiple conversations.

“I look forward to an understanding because as I stated in the previous articles it was made with the NBA in mind. Hopefully being able to bring added fan engagement to the different players/teams and liquidity for team owners.”

Dinwiddie partnered up with crypto firm Paxos to start the DREAM Fan Shares platform. If it takes off and other players jump in on the bandwagon, fans will become able to invest in their favorite stars.

As Dinwiddie explained to Nikhilesh De of Coindesk, “investors do not risk losing their funds if he is injured or otherwise unable to play” due to the guaranteed nature of his deal.

The NBA has denied Dinwiddie's plan. They explained that he is in no way, shape, or form allowed to transfer his team compensation rights under his uniform contract to any third party.

It remains to be seen if Dinwiddie will finally get his way, but the league is adamant in protecting the players and their fans' interests.
