The Deal
- $165 for a framed 8"x10" photo of "The Shot" autographed by former Kansas Jayhawks guard Mario Chalmers ($333 value)
The photo captures the moment—during the 2008 NCAA Championship Game against Memphis—that Chalmers launched a shot toward the basket with 2.1 seconds left in regulation. The three-pointer was good, tying up the game and sending it to overtime. The Jayhawks eventually prevailed, 75–68, and "Mario's Miracle" became the centerpiece of the tournament's annual "One Shining Moment" montage. Chalmers now plays for the Miami Heat in the NBA.
