Shabazz Napier will go down as one of three players in the history of Division I basketball to have won national championships as a freshman and a senior. He led the University of Connecticut Huskies to National Championship wins in 2011 and 2014; the latter victory was even more impressive, considering Connecticut entered the tournament as a #7 seed.

After his college career was over, Napier was taken in the first round of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat, after LeBron James publicly stated his admiration for Napier’s play. Fast forward just over three years, and he’s now a reserve point guard for the Portland Trailblazers.
