Jalen Suggs is going to forever remembered for one of the most amazing buzzer beaters of all time. Suggs hit a  game-winning three point basket in overtime to defeat the UCLA Bruins 93-90 during the 2021 NCAA Final Four semifinal at Lucas Oil Stadium

 

Now it appears that shot may be worth millions.

“It’s not an immediate turn,” said Zach Soskin, the co-founder of Voltage Management, which works with athletes and brand consulting. “But over the course of [Suggs’] life, this is worth millions of dollars.”

“It’s really impossible to measure the value, but it elevates him for the rest of his life,” Soskin said. “Obviously, Jalen Suggs isn’t Zion [Williamson], but he enters the league as a bigger star than Anthony Edwards [the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA draft]. The average American sports fan just didn’t know who [Suggs] was before Saturday night. Now he’s a hero.”

When you make a shot like that you don’t even have to call bank.

The NCAA needs to sell that shot as a NFT, now that would be worth millions.
