His answer — that he went to bed 'starving' because the meal plan at UConn did not always cover what he needed — started a national conversation about college athlete compensation that echoed for years. The basketball world heard it and filed it away. Then he went out and won the national championship. Then he was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. The 'Hungry Husky' was born in that moment, and this signed 16x20 UConn Huskies college basketball photo, inscribed with 'Story,' authenticated with a Fanatics COA, is the document of the player behind that moment.

They were a seven seed. Shabazz Napier carried them through six consecutive wins — against teams that were favored, in arenas that were not Huskies-friendly, under conditions that required someone to step forward and refuse to let the run end. He was that person every night. The 2014 NCAA title was not just an upset story. It was a Napier story. Every game of that tournament run ran through his hands.
